If I could have just one little bitty present from Santa this year, it would be to see the well deserved (and hopefully painful) death of the use of:
quoted comment ~~original~~new object inserted "fixed that for you" The smugness factor of that little gem is off the charts, and that every time I see it I feel an urge to grind a grapefruit, Cagney style, in the self-satisfied editor's face. Its old. It isn't creative. It may have been funny once, but that time has long since passed. Now it is just arrogant and rude and fails miserably at being witty. I'm all in favor of snark. I even love snark. But a little creativity of original thought is the lifeblood of successful snark.

AskMefiFollowup: I like to sing Jingle Bell Rock, but using only the words "bell", "rock", and "jingle":

bell rock jingle rock
Bell jingle rock
Rock jingle rock
Bell jingle bell
Rock bell
Jingle
Rock rock bell
Jingle rock, jingle rock
Bell bell bell

Drives my wife nuts. I'd record an MP3 of me doing it if someone could find me a karaoke track.
