I wasn't feeling very creative yesterday. So, I decided to read. I was tired. So, I decided to read at a coffee shop. It was just me, Earl Grey and good book. I was making some progress through the book, and the author was an absolute genius. Then the sounds of R2D2 came imitating from my pocket and I knew I must have had a text message. Sure enough it was a client with grammar questions of all things. Soon, a colleague who was there also expressed concerns about the improper use of punctuation being used in emails from some of his sales guys. Then I had a thought.
