You know where it says "MNHQ have commented on this thread..."

[BitOutOfPractice]

And then there's a link to where NMHQ has commented.

I beg you , on bended knee.

Please can it say "MNHQ has commented..."

MNHQ is singular. Not plural. Like companies

"Apple has launched a new iWatch" not ""Apple have launched a new iWatch"

Sorry it's a pet hate but if you had to correct this mistake in your job as many times as I do, you'd understand

And a collective is a single entity!

I hear joining MNHQ is akin to being assimilated by the Borg.

MNHQ are a powerful, homogeneous being. We are one heart beating with united purpose, one mind, one wrist with RSI, one subcutaneous gin implant. We are the sword in the darkness. We are the shield that guards the realms of MN. And now, we HAVE posted on this thread

p.s We will gather the Elders council and get back to you grammar issue

Oh lordy now I have the phrase that makes my teeth itch at the top of my thread!!

Yup - I did that on purpose. The borgbrain is vindictive and cruel.

I am right.

I am so right.

Resistance is futile

I like Kate S.

If your name was Kate, and there was already a Kate, would you be KateS, or would you go for Katie or Katy or Kat or Katherine so that you got a whole name?

Well that's a derail and a half trills

Or maybe it's a plural Kate - just to make the debate a little more juicy?

And it seems it's a pretty long debate btw

No need for debate - I am right

I can't remember what we're arguing about.

Nor me TheFarSide, I just know I'm right

I still await MNHQ's verdict!

Do you think they've been locked in fevered talks since Thursday?

It's obviously caused a schism at the highest levels

Do you think they've been locked in fevered talks since Thursday?

They have. AFAIK, they went straight from the IndyRef debate to a grammar face-off. I am not sure Justine has even eaten tbh.

Oh if it's just a grammar dispute it could be settled by Tuesday. I was worried that you were all arguing about whether or not you were individuals

We all are Name, we all are.

Anyone called Olivia who applies for a job just gets their CV thrown straight into the shredder, huh?

If there is a debate, they must be individuals and plural

Ach, in hindsight I should have insisted that the first KateMumsnet was assimilated back into the matrix so I could be be the rightful and only KateMumsnet. Technically I could be a Kathryn, but that feels a bit formal. You guys can call me Kate or Khaleesi to give me my full title
