Oy! Traffic Cops
I just discovered a show called Traffic Cops that airs on BBC One/UKTV People. It’s essentially the British version of “Cops” with less trash.

HTTP Referer
I was writing a WordPress plugin earlier today and noticed an inconsistency in spelling while referencing other plugins..
Wikipedia on Referrer: “Referer is a common misspelling of the word referrer. It is so common, in fact, that it made it into the official specification of HTTP – the communication protocol of the World Wide Web – and has therefore become the standard industry spelling when discussing HTTP referers.”
Use a spell checker next time, asshole.

Ellipses are too long. I prefer to use “..” as a fair middleground between a period and full-blown ellipsis.
