Internet Down

My Internet access is pretty limited for the time being, until my income tax refund goes through.  The IRS is rejecting my return based on its erroneous conclusion that my Employer Identification Number doesn't match what it was last year when I filed.  It does match.  It's the exact same EIN as last year.  I check my W2 forms from last year and this year and they match.  So the error is, as usual, on the part of the IRS.

And naturally, I can't get through to a living person when I call the IRS' number.

Jerks.

Anyway, not much to report today.  Had a couple of people who required several returns of their over-sized builds before they got the message that they need to rez them above 800 meters.  Some people are just thick, I guess.

And I'm noticing that I'm increasingly using British terminology in my otherwise American dialect.  I still refuse to use plural personal pronouns with singular antecedents, which is is an error in grammar usage that, for stupid reasons, is made so often that it's now become commonplace.  No one who does this sees anything wrong with it, but it just looks stupid and lazy as it confuses the reader as to how many individuals are actually being described.

Okay, and of grammar rant.
