Grammar Pedantry Syndome ... apparently it's a form of OCD !

[DaisyNonna]

I am quite happy with that diagnosis.

Oh dear, that could be me. When in business we used to receive written correspondence from a senior member of the Construction Department of a major Brewer. When I saw the postmark I would rush for my red pen, because I knew his grammar, spelling, sentence construction, etc were awful, and joyously correct his letter. Oh the satisfaction. Still do things like that but never in front of anybody.
'Have a pop at' is that the Queen's English?
LOL - What's that? :-))

[joggerjayne]

I'm sure HMQ uses the expression "to have a pop at one"

Today I visited my mum's grave. I sat on a bench in the sun to have a ciggy and noticed the most beautiful headstone in front of me . Polished black granite in the shape of a heart with red roses and green leaves beautifully entwined all down either side. The lettering was done in really shiny gold, it was breathtaking. At the bottom, in gold it said-
Love never die's
:-0

I grovel to inform you that I am that person who corrects the spelling in Library Books using a pencil.

[joggerjayne]

Prudie, I'm trying to think of any construction which could make that work.

Something belongs to the die, as in metal die, or die is an abbreviation of, err ...

No, okay, I can't do it. That was just the stone mason from hell.

[joggerjayne]

Daisy, lol, lol ... seriously? That is just brilliant.

I love it.

But maybe you need to use ink, so it doesn't get worn away.

[Prudie]

Pretty inexcusable really.

[joggerjayne]

Like aubergines.

grammar pedantry and sexual thoughts? There are some very sick people around here.

[joggerjayne]

Sexual thoughts ?

[jno]

"Some symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning, repeated checking, extreme hoarding, preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts..."

[joggerjayne]

Oh, yeah.

Disgraceful.

[DaisyNonna]

Seriously JJ. Use pencil in case I am wrong and do not want to permanently deface a book however flawed it is.

[joggerjayne]

It would be funny if you corrected it, and you were wrong.

I don't suppose you are ever wrong, though.

Maybe you should use Post It notes?

[DaisyNonna]

What's cleaning?

[mushroom25]

my daughter recognizes that in herself - although she calls herself a "Grammar Ninja".

she also recognizes the compulsion, but prefers to call it "CDO" as she wants it to be in alphabetical order.
