Well, I, Jason the TVaholic, am the chief, cook, and bottle washer here at TVaholic. Or, in this case, the publisher, editor, and writer of the content that is found here. So, the occasional typo or grammatical error is bound to slip through from time-to-time. But, I never fear, as the grammar and spelling police are never far behind to let you know when you’ve gone wrong. So far, it is the best way I have found, short of giving something away, to get people to actually leave a comment.
