Ravings of a Textual Deviant

B: Why do you you think Word considers the following to be a fragment: “If necessary, [company] will perform a follow-up vendor evaluation during its annual periodic review of the system or if any upgrades or other changes are made to the system.”
Me: No commas before the “or”s?
B: Tried that… still thinks it is a fragment. Strange.
Me: Because Word is fundamentally flawed when it comes to grammar checking?
B: Bingo… we have a winner! Thanks… at least it is not as annoying as Notes
Me: What is?
B: I loathe Notes.
Me: I think that being hit in the head repeatedly by a large, spiky object *might* be more annoying than Notes…but I haven’t tried it.
B: only if you then poured gasoline in the wound and then lit it with a flame thrower, but that’s just me.
Me: AND Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits was playing in the background.
B: On a warped 33.
Me: With bad speakers. Hey, I should apply for a job at Guantanamo Bay.
