Interesting.

Relying on your intuition really is no substitute to actually looking things up. If I had a tattoo on the back of my hand, it should say something like that, so that I won't forget it. Keeps happening all the time.

On the other hand, the internet is always more than glad to correct my mistakes, so I still see this mess as a win-win for everyone.
