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
