1. Go to the bathroom unassisted.
2. Be able to hold a book. You really shouldn't have dogeared that page, man.
Look at kitchen tongs withoht suffering a seizure.
Handle a hardcover book.
Explain to the doctor how it got THERE.
Look at pages without flinching.
Suffer flashbacks from the smell of turmeric.
Touch wood.
Go a month without having The Master Archive nightmare.
Look at a card catalog without shuddering all the way to your gonads.
Call the Dewey Decimal System "archaic and worthless".
:lulz:

Very true, especially if you have the flashbacks EOC mentioned. I like to know I'm assisting people.

I-argh-hmm. I'm familiar with some of the arguments for both sides of this dilemma and could point you to people who can and will lecture about it. I initially wanted to refute your statement because of the rigidity, bias and overall annoyance that is the Dewey Decimal System. Then I was forced to acknowledge the benefits of standardization and so forth things got muddled. So yes.
Fun fact: from what I've heard, Melvil Dewey was an obsessive simplified-speller racist asshole who was fired for sexual harassment at a point in history when it probably shouldn't have been possible for him to do so.
