Pedants' Corner

7 replies

AIBU to think there should be a pedants' corner where we can be free to do things like correct spelling, grammar or vocabulary without fear of retribution a bit of a grump from others?

Anyone else want to bring anything into the corner thread?

NB - use of anatomical terms to describe anything between your waist and your knees is strictly banned because even a pedant can think that 'vulva' sounds weird.

There is a topic for this already, under "Other Stuff" (same heading as AIBU). Sadly only pedants go there, so nobody who needs telling will see it!

I wish they'd stick to it - I really struggle with spelling etc due to a learning disability and I really try hard to type properly but some times I mess us - having it pointed out make me feel wonderful Hmm

There's also a Cunning Linguists geddit? section for people who want to discuss pedantry/ language or language changesfrom a more objective perspective.

I had to post to congratulate you on the correct placement of the apostrophe in the word 'pedants'', Fluffy. Bravo.
