Some among us are aware that we should be banished to such a place.

Adding my support
(to the corner, not the banishing!)

Aye

boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY · 15/02/2007 09:55

Yes, please.

MrsBadger · 15/02/2007 11:22

Not necessary - we should take over Geeky Stuff.

yes please - make it with a padlock. and a sign which reads " 10 people or less"

Shouldn't the thread title be "Should MN Towers provide a Pedants' Corner" ?

MrsBadger · 15/02/2007 12:23

No - we know they should, it's whether they shall or not we're interested in...

Dinosaur · 15/02/2007 12:26

In which case it's "will" not "shall", isn't it?

MrsBadger · 15/02/2007 12:30

Hmm, probably - you'd normally only use shall in the first person.

so what's the rule now?

I rarely if ever use shall (though use 'shan't' a lot), so actually had to consult the OED.
