Pedantic spelling rant of the year

[The Great Cornholio]

No, we don't have enough English language rants on here. BRING 'EM ON.

'EM? An informal contraction of them? Not to mention the use of capitals. Poor form.

Definately when the word is CLEARLY spelt definitely.

Also, for the benefit of bhaexpress it is RICHIE not RiTchie.

Hey! I used the correct punctuation to abbreviate 'them', and you should appreciate that the uppercase letters are for emphasis. I think you'll find there was a correct use of English, even if I did lapse into the vernacular.

 

[Seagull's Return]

First the subjunctive, now "lapse into the vernacular" - this is a corking thread, full of lovely stylistic snippets. Mmmm, "snippet", there's another good word... keep 'em* coming, folks, you're making an old pedant very happy in his twilight years.


* yeah, OK, "them", whatever. Bovvered?

 

[Ned]

Bovvered?
