this is a chat room, not a grammar and diction room - so frankly it is the content that is important.INNIT

VeniVidiVickiQV · 10/10/2007 18:17

I'm sure that was the idea franny.

ScottishMummy · 10/10/2007 18:26

"The MN School of Grammar"

Using MN style English.

GibbonInARibbon · 10/10/2007 18:40

One of the things I have missed MOST about MN is the way some positively wank with excitement over a grammar faux pas.

Oh I never put a capital at the beginning of a sentence. apart from when I do, of course.
I used to check my posts and preview and everything when I was a keen and panting newbie.
now I can't be arsed.

GibbonInARibbon · 10/10/2007 19:45

lol 'keen and panting newbie'

ScottishMummy · 10/10/2007 19:49

Flamesparrow · 10/10/2007 20:21

On a slightly random but vaguely related theme... had a letter come through today with someone "formerly introducing" themselves Thought you lot would love it!

EllHell · 10/10/2007 20:31

Just popped back to Apologise "formally" to UQD. I missed SharpMolarBear's post and thus misread yours!!!!!

Please don't let MN set up a dedicated 'grammar room'. I see little enough of RL as it is!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 10/10/2007 20:38

No they MUST!!!

It'll keep you grammar freaks out the general public's way...

ScottishMummy · 10/10/2007 20:40

lol Little Lapin you always have me screaming and i am glad i make you pant

ScottishMummy · 10/10/2007 20:48

oh yes to MN mcGrammar room - keep all the pedants in one handy pen so we know where they are - kinda like craggy island for punctuation freaks
