It seems that Qatar is the least riskiest place to live, but only if you want to avoid flood, earthquake and other natural disasters. Stay away from Mauritius, Vanuatu and Guatemala.
There's a piece in The Guardian about grammar rules. Some argue that grammar is not important; some that it is the basic building block of communication; and some don't give a monkeys. I'm a bit of a pedant myself, and I don't know if that is good or bad. I'm sure it is perceived as 'bad' - pretentious snob up his own punctuation. The ironic thing about my stance on the subject is that I'm probably either plain wrong, or don't know enough to be an expect on the subject. It's just that I (think) I know a bit, so does that reduce me to the 'slightly pretentious'? Surely a better place to be. Whatever it is, I like to think I know and therefore 'care' about grammatical errors, so to me, I'm wholesomely good. Not a pretension in sight.
