In my eyes, it may as well read "We use a gas stove elephantine." or "We use a gas stove Shaka, when the walls fell."

Picard would have known.
Since the topic of grammar nazis has already been brought up, I'll continue it. Why is it that we belittle people who are concerned with effective communication? I was taught in school that a person's ideas are only as good as his or her ability to communicate them to others. I find it odd that we scoff at the idea of proper written communication.
If your ideas come across as though they're written by a 6th grade dropout, then expect your ideas to be treated as such.
