The Grammar Stalinist Thread

OK, at least I can hold my head up high and say - back on Topic (as I am a forum angel) so Slow_Twin and Zol the Troll, back on topic please gentlemen :Happy:

 

Ok, I'll troll, sorry trawl, through the threads for some typos and gross grammatical gaffes when I'm finished at the gym.

 

Man WHO got things done. He wasn't an inanimate object

 

Er, yes they do. Check it. There's this thing called the internet (no capital i). You might find it useful.

 

Thanks

 

Hey keyboard warrior what does gross mean?

 

Look it up!

 

From finm:
no not atoll, just caffeine. cant stand bullies.

 

Not so much a keyboard warrior as a keyboard fundamentalist. Not sure whether to place him on the Watch list or the Ignore list. Maybe I'll do both.

 

You can add fundamentalist grammaticians to that list of bullies!

 

I was hoping you could define it for me. What about troll?

 

On call? In case there's some emergency story that needs urgent writing?

 

SAME OLD SAME OLD NEWS - Scottish man takes contrary view to everyone else - no one is surprised.

 

Yes. Skeleton staff at weekends to save money. If there's a biggie - like a hostage situation or Charlie Hebdo-style attack - it'll be all hands to the pump. This stuff doesn't write or edit itself you know! I was dragged out of bed to cover London's reaction to 9/11.

 

With enough Scottish in you, you'll be squinting quite a lot.

 

But writers don't get out of bed before their second bottle of Scottish of the day, right?

 

Nor do Labour, Conservatives or Liberals but they all get one because the words are used as proper nouns.
