Outburst Of Pedantry

Re: I\'m fed up of it.

A sine what I saw in the East End, innit :

"Come in and look round. No oblegation."

Also, if you go to the Aquarium on Southsea sea-front one of their wall signs mentions "the sea bed can seem quite baron".
 
This annoys me as well.

I had a problem of whether to laugh or cry when I saw the banner headline in our local rag.

EPISOCPAL Church to close

I am furious to get a letter from a lawyer who cannot spell or use grammar.

Usually the content is crap too.

Favourite riposte for this..

Thank you for your ill-conceived and badly executed letter....

Check the fuse in your Irony Detector!
 
I'm afraid that the absolute worst of all, which really causes angst, is "meter" rather then "metre" or alternatively "metre" rather then "meter". One measures units (an electricity meter) whereas the other is a measure of length "metre".

OK. That's done grammar for this week.

Can we do colregs now, please?

Well, wasn't that was fun? I hope you won't misspell "lose" again, now, Ken. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
