On the back of that table, I think I might tone down my post count.

Ha very. Especially looking at the joined dates versus post count.

Posting more in less than a year then people who've been around for 5/6 years, says a lot.


I am appalled.

50 dictionaries outside my door would make me want to rebel; in a spelling sort of a way.

I don't think I could rebel in spelling terms even if I tried. I'm a spelling and grammar pedant. Can't help it.

So am I ususally. I correct people so much one of my kids has picked up on it and now corrects his teacher.

My pet hate is prepositions at the end of sentences the only problem is that you can sound quite pompous if you don't do it.

We should invent more suffix's denoting affection into the English language. Just sticking a y onto the end of things just doesn't do the job.

I think folk should keep an eye on when it becomes a private convo between two members. Thats what the PM system is for and I'm pretty sure that its in the rules that we shouldn't do it as well.

I think I have been guilty of doing this as well though, it can be hard to keep track.
