Status Symbolism

There's a new app going viral on Facebook called "What would I say." The program combs through your previous statuses and generates a status based on other things you've written. I tried it, and the status that came back was, "Shut up that great big hill of sleep must be a single line!" I'm less bothered by the dreamlike incomprehensibility than by the status-bot's refusal to put a comma after "Shut up." This app is thoroughly inappropriate for grammar nerds.
