I don't think it was your grammar that nearly had James "sleeping with the fishes(sic)", just a couple of spelling errors. An editing issue, I surmise, because you are a very good speller and I don't think there is anyone who read that sentence who found it too incoherent to understand the content because there was a letter missing in one word and a misplaced apostrophe. I don't know James, but something tells me: "drama queen." shhhhhhhhh I bet he gives it 100 per cent, though. James, it might feel like you're going to die but you won't. Not because of Scott, anyway. Excellent. I don’t think it was your grammar that nearly had James “sleeping with the fishes(sic)”, just a couple of spelling errors.

I started reading your blog about High speed reading half an hour back and I'm still going strong with an increased word count per minute (I guess so), despite the time now being 3:00 AM! Very interesting posts. Great job!! Scott,

There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload'. If you were a Schlock Mercenary fan, you’d know rule 37: There is no ‘overkill’. There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘time to reload’.

I try my best to edit my articles, but after 600 or so, I'm bound to slip up a few times. ;) -Scott James,

That one sentence, I guess only fit in your 0-10% effort range. Your fix is only half done, there is another one. :) Scott, I love your posts, past and future.

I think I first learned about overkill when my Dad taught me that Bruce Lee would think past his target. There's also something to be said about concentrated effort, or a lot of energy to squish a problem before it escalates out of control (a stitch in time saves 9).

I love that you emphasize overkill on the action not on the goal setting. Very important. Thanks for these great thoughts. Scott,
