Born under a bad sign
If we had to choose a theme tune for simplification, what would it be? I'd pick Albert King's classic blues 'Born under a bad sign'. Apart from its obvious reference to poor wayfinding in maternity hospitals, it contains this lament for literacy:
I can't read.
I didn't learn how to write.
My whole life's been one big fight.
You can hear/get it at iTunes.

From the designer's point of view, "Rip it Up" by Orange Juice. It contains the lines:
There were times I'd take my pen
Feel obliged to start again
I did my best, but there are things in life
That words can't quite express
Not to mention the chorus, "Rip it up and start again".
Just listening to 'Oxford Comma' by Vampire Weekend and thought of your post here.
Don't get too hung up with correct punctuation and grammar... 'Who gives a **** about an Oxford comma?'
