That said, I get irritated when one grammatical sentence morphs into another because whoever is checking things is not listening to the sound. "He brushed the dirt off of his clothes and out of his hair," is not necessarily improved by being changed to, "He brushed the dirt off his clothes and out of his hair." If it were, I would have written it that way to begin with. Chicago is a plague when set lose in fictional universes.

It looked really, really cool when I saw the trailers... I wonder if I can persuade my five year old niece to be interested in it/quiet through it. Haha. Oh, I am so keen to see this!
