It's a great project, and a wonderful read, thank you.

However, I can't resist pointing out something ironic in a post about a video about grammar:

> The number 27 is referenced at least seven different ways.

"Referenced" should be "referred to", or "The video makes reference to the number 27...".

Although I accept that this misuse of the word is so widespread that it will probably end up being accepted on the "if enough people make the mistake long enough and often enough, it ceases to be a mistake" theory of language...
