To be fair, that rather describes almost everyone who's posted to AAPC, with the exception of George Sulzbach. Although, as you yourself claimed, he was so often blackout drunk that expecting flawless typing might be asking a bit much. > > The irony of appointing yourself the forum's grammar inspector is magnificent. In this very thread you've misspelt common words, mangled verb tenses, abandoned punctuation whenever it became inconvenient, and even managed to reply to the wrong person. That's quite an achievement for someone trying to lecture others on language. > > You became so fixated on calling me out over what you believe is a misplaced comma that you completely overlooked the procession of blunders in your own posts. The punchline, of course, is that I wasn't wrong. But even if I had been, your own catalogue of errors would still outnumber mine by several dozen. > > Do toddle off and get back to your slop poetry. It may still be dreadful, but at least it's a safer place to embarrass yourself than pretending to be an authority on grammar. > > Oh, and before you climb back onto your linguistic high horse, you missed a comma in the passage above. Just a small sample of the many Dockery howlers in this thread: I don't recognize the person in the photograph, is this a Photoshop you've made of a photograph of The Doctor, Bruce? Miguel also makes the *same mistake*, and gas made it, like Cujo, more than once or twice. There was nothing to figure out, Iv'e been familiar with "NN" on Usenet for years. Did Miguel udel correct grammar in the above, if us the correct form Alas, if it went that simple. As I've stated many times, if it were up to me, ud declare peace this morning. A peace deal was offered, and it was up to you. You rejected it and chose to continue spamming the group.
