I can't help it; every time I see that sig, it sets something off in my English major brain of mine.

Xandax, I have a real problem. You are aware that the majority of the "to"s in your sig should be "too"s, aren't you?
Naa - I didn't know that, but then again - gramma never was my strong point, let alone another languages gramma
.
I just snipped it from an interview video, so didn't think about the "to" vs. "too"
I'll look to change it to make it correct

There should be no commas in front of the ands or ands after the commas.

Well, the quote is taken from a video casual "interview" (convesation rather), so I thought I'd do it as much justice as I could and leave the pauses in

As long as we are being petty--the word is "break". Sorry!

Turn onto the return lane.
If you mean after the finish line, pull the chutes and let the engine back er down. Brake Sparingly, and not soon (Locking up brakes at 180 MPH = Bad)
