heh. Ironic.

Everyone makes silly mistakes. Just mildly funnier when it happens in an article about "how to writes good"

While we're on topic of annoying besides-the-point HN pedantry, I find the use of blockquotes in this article to be distracting. What are they quoting? They seem to be more of an aside than an actual quote?

Sometimes I'll use block quotes like that too. Newer software generally calls them "admonitions" to make their usage more ambiguous.
