Dear Lindsay Lohan

There's no audience on earth like a captive audience.

I will try to write a postcard to Lindsay Lohan every day while she's in jail. Oh, and I'm Greg Rutter.

Dear Lindsay Lohan,
Writing is rules. Whether it’s about word choice or sentence length or subject matter each writer has decided on rules they have agreed not to break. Me? My rules are too many. I won’t use the word “penultimate” because I think it sounds pretentious. I’ll just write “next to last” instead, and problem solved. But why is “pretentious” allowed but “penultimate” not? Because those are just the rules.
