A Brief Word on Nomenclature

spiffboy2-thumb.jpg

Even though eduwonkette and skoolboy have been unmasked, skoolboy plans to continue to refer to himself in the third person. Why? If I did it at school, my students would laugh me out of the classroom. If I did it at home, my wife would kick my butt. So let me (er, skoolboy) have some fun, OK?

And for the record: both skoolboy and eduwonkette are lower case. Only proper nouns warrant capitalization, and it should be clear by now that skoolboy isn't very proper.
