Had to think about this, but have to agree that the paper is right, as is LLW.

It's Just Deserts.

Unless they're talking about my kinda meal, where you don't bother with starters or a main course & just get down to the good bit

Gah.

Must remember never to post in pedants' corner.

Although I feel like I have learned something today- so thanks!

[cough cough] as this is pedants' corner, I feel at liberty to point out that I actually pointed out that it was the correct spelling before LLW

[checks spelling of post nervously]

great thread

tethersend · 09/10/2009 22:50

Don't worry theyoungvisiter- I know who brought about my demise...

damn you and your speedy typing TYV...

tearinghairout · 09/10/2009 22:54

Yes, sorry TYV, not to acknowledge your superiority. Was too far up the page [CBA emoticon]

theyoungvisiter · 09/10/2009 22:54

mwah ha ha ha!

There are not many places that an unhealthy obsession with grammar and spelling and fast fingers make for a winning combination.

Luckily pendants' corner is one such.

LowLevelWhingeing · 09/10/2009 22:55

HEY!

I linked first! Come on, let me at least share some of the pedant glory

theyoungvisiter · 09/10/2009 22:55

what is a CBA emoticon? [and why don't I have one?]

Tortington · 09/10/2009 22:56

can't be arsed?
now off to read thread

theyoungvisiter · 09/10/2009 22:57

very true, you DID link first.

And you were also clever enough to realise that it was not an error at all.

I was so conditioned that I actually read it with two Ses.

[steps off podium and makes way for LLW]

tethersend · 09/10/2009 22:58

For the love of god custardo, please don't...

Lol at this thread
That'll teach you to check before you post next time

tethersend · 09/10/2009 23:12

The worst thing is mrsruffallo, I was outraged!

I can't believe the Metro knows more than me.

I mean, that hurts...

don't worry, be outraged at my breach birth instead.

Although this is not the one I was thinking of, I'm sure the piece I saw had it in a headline.
