Found the deep roots of grammar Nazism

Having to edit a stone chipped slate could make anyone cranky.  I wonder if it's double spaced in courier 12 with wide spaced margins for red ink edits and comments by an anal retentive grammar Nazi who was known to publicly flay students.  Or maybe the writer hide it under a pile of rocks so the dog wouldn't eat the homework and his mom was a hoarder and he couldn't remember which stack of rocks it was under. Maybe this was an early way of copyrighting. Hide the original in stone and when the papyrus bootlegs show up the writer collects the royalties.
