No, screw that. We've gone for years thinking it wasn't a big deal but now Linden Lab™ changed their minds. What's to keep Linden Lab™ from changing their minds™ again and claiming the individual letters "S"™ and "L"™, the phrase "The Grid"™ or "Your Imagination"™ ?

I'm going to err on the side of caution here. I will never again type the words "Second"™, "Life"™, "SL"™, "The Grid"™, "Philip Linden's bastard child"™ or "that steaming pile of dysfunctional horseshit"™ without covering my own ass™ with the trademark symbol.
