About this Site
You Bitch! is the personal blog site of Internet personality Rube. If you would like to contact the author directly, please use the form provided on the site contact page, once it actually goes online.
Standards and Customs
You Bitch! is written in English, with occasional German text. Despite the fact that the Author is presently moving to Great Britain, American English is chosen whenever a choice necessary. In addition, the "Oxford Comma" is used in all texts and submissions, as it is God's Own Comma. Sentences tend to be long, as this saves on periods.

All opinions expressed by me on this site are mine, and mine alone. My employer, customers, family, and acquaintances have nothing to do with it. If you want their opinion, you'll have to ask them for it.
