The comma sandwich or 'snide asside'

While writing a sentence about one subject, include a related and slightly insulting comment between two commas.

For example.

New Zealand, which is known mostly for being 'that other country where people have sex with sheep', is often confused with Australia.

Edit your work constantly, writing a review should take a long time as you craft it towards perfection.

Also type it up in word, then transfer it over here, it allows you to write the review using a more focused thought process, and allows you to edit and change it much more quickly and efficiently as you don't have to use a little box at the bottom of the screen.

 

[Lord Krunk]

Spell-check rigorously, and format.

I tend to take this paragraph layout:

- LINKS TO PREVIOUS REVIEWS
- INTRODUCTION TO REVIEW - Write relevant non-review related stuff here
- DESCRIPTION - Give a brief description of what you are reviewing
- PROS
- CONS
- SUMMARY - Give your overall opinion of the reviewed (buy it, rent it, NO).
- CONCLUSION - Like the Introduction To Review, but wit closing comments.

Krunk out.

EDIT: Damn. So much for my clean record. Farewell, Neo, you are now 5000 posts out of reach.

EDIT 2: I blame my new avatar. Boyd's stare is... intimidating.
