Er, sorry, but shouldn't that be *Rubenesque*?

I should've known--no one listens to me.

I'm with you Spartus. I put a similar point to the person who has a user page entitled Rubinesque. But I rather cocked it up by committing a couple of typos, so I quit that game 
I'm also the sort of person who gets hung up on its versus it's, their versus there versus they're, and a thousand similar abuses of the language. One of Nature's proof-readers.
In fact I'll volunteer to grammar-check people's user pages if they promise not to take offence.

Yep, the curse of the pedant. Your/you're is my big hangup, personally. Recently, though, I've been trying not to correct stuff as much. I've been much more relaxed as a result.
