The breakdown of numbers is interesting. Offensive name calling is in the 23-27% range and stalking/threats/continued harassment, are all consistently in the 5-7% range. (Note that this counts recipients, but given the broadness of the sample, I suspect it reflects about the same percentage as perpetrators.)
There was a recent poll that found 25% of people believed that one-night-stands by people in relationships wasn't cheating.
I suspect if you make a Venn diagram of the name calling and the latter group, it's almost a complete overlap and would supports my theory that about 25% of people are genuine assholes. The smaller stalker group suggests that about 7% of people are sociopaths (and are likely almost entirely a subset of the a**hole group.)

I presume that grammatical error was ironic then?

Whether it's caffeinated or decaffeinated, coffee is associated with lower mortality, which suggests the association is not tied to caffeine "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"

I just skimmed it but they probably totally ignored that coffee drinkers usually have a routine. I also didn't notice anything about 1-2 pots a day

For the past year or so, legal and financial authorities have been investigating the Prime Minister and his family over charges of corruption after pressure from opposing parties in Pakistan as well as public outcry. If I was going to guess which font first went to court, I could have picked Comic Sans

The situation reeks worse than a portajohn at a chili cookoff; but by asserting that the font wasn't commercially available until Jan 2007 (office 2007) when it was released with Vista in November 2006 the experts who wrote the report have shot their credibility in the foot[^]; even though that release still post dates when the likely forged documents were created. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Why does it get easier? Because you don’t have to keep track of the state of the system.
No, that's why it gets harder. Because the real world is stateful. Just try to explain the state monad to someone who doesn't have a deep understanding of FP.

A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?[^]
