Can we have a Grammar Room please?

So that all the Grammar pedants can sit in there and simmer at the rest of the board's incompetence quietly and without disturbing the rest of us.

No, I'm suggesting there be a separate room for self-proclaimed grammar pedants

Advice for pedants: don't click on VVVQV's link.

oh yes if they cant be driven away alltogether then a coral would be the next better thing

VVV, surely you aren't suggesting that all nouns should be capitalised? That aside, this is clearly a marvellous idea and would make me very happy indeed. I always avoid the grammar threads as I am aware of how obnoxious and tedious my pedantry is. I would love a special place in which to nitpick with like-minded bores

QuootieSpookypie · 10/10/2007 18:48

Ooo, I forgot the capitalise the Y in Yes

QuootieSpookypie · 10/10/2007 18:47

yes I noticed, get out. Go on, go. You fake pedant.

Yes, it is a Noun.

Although, undoubtedly someone will come along in a minute and correct me

Why has Grammar got a capital G? Unless it shall be the title of the room...

LOL

It will be called "Dragging Up MNers" and it will be run by a harsh taskmaster, such as this type

grammar pedants, surely?

Can it be called Grammar School?

LOL.

I am confused....no capitals in sentences AT ALL???

Perhaps there was a topic all of its own, people could seek the advice who think they know better

I did restrain myself from pointing out putting RIP in lower case was causing confusion about the nature of a thread earlier. Although I've just lost any brownie points I gained by mentioning it here...
