Chris_R Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 As a self-proclaimed and completely unapologetic grammar Nazi, I can't disagree with this bit.... Quote Still, the accusation persists that those who insist upon employing grammar, punctuation and even spelling correctly, do so to make themselves feel superior. This is unfair. We actually are superior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can disagree with it - he’s using a comma before a verb in a relative clause. The entire article is replete with this sort of thing - there’s an obvious comma splice in it too, as well as the use of a comma before a subordinate conjunction. It’s a piece of piss to point at signs for shops which have an incorrect use of the apostrophe and feel superior. I can’t be arsed with it personally - and the people who do it wouldn’t thank others for pointing out the flaws in their prose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Apparently we’re in the mix to qualify for the equivalent of this, which is celebrating failure and if we don’t win it that is also failure. If we do win it I expect this’ll be the trophy photo and we’ll all be on the phone to the Samaritans at full time. Perhaps we should just decline to take part.

Here’s Sunderland players celebrating their Papa John’s Football League Mickey Mouse Cup win: I even saw the fans celebrating like loons the year before when they scored in the Papa Johns final at Wembley. So they’re the last set of fans on earth in a position to sneer at where we are … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
