As long as we're being super-grammatical, shouldn't "shouldn't" be
lowercase and shouldn't it be "Samuel Taylor Coleridge's?" with the
question mark inside the quotation marks since we aren't a bunch of
red coats?  Unfortunately, my edition of the Chicago Manual of Style
doesn't give me any of the rules on smileys, so I can't give you a
definitive criticism there (and no, I didn't really check).

Anal-retentively-super-grammatically yours,

Andrew
