The Grammar Thread

You, and I know this, are wrong!

You and I know this is wrong!

I'll concede that point -- but, if you read my later posts, I do correct my initial broad-brush statement

Gosh, this thread has become incredibly boring.

Are you referring to the thread on drill bits?

No, I'm referring to this thread, The Joke Thread, where the psuedo academics
seem to have taken over.
And, no, your effort at humour hasn't passed me by.

 

[Linus]

I totally agree.

Can the moderators please generate a thread for grammatical correctness and leave the joke thread for jokes?

This was all my fault and I apologise.

I'm glad you noticed my attempt at a joke. I'll confess it wasn't my best work.

It's all good @Suffolkboy , I just like certain threads to be kept on track,
that's all.

Sits back, grabs popcorn, and waits for much hilarity from Daniel2....

Get off of your high horse.

Punctuation. Grammar. Pointless.

"Psuedo academics"?

To air on the side of caution. I’ve heard that twice on the BBC recently. Lord Reith will be spinning in his grave.

You seem unable to appreciate that this is no longer 'The Joke Thread'.

I don't know how, but it has now been designated separately as 'The Grammar Thread'.

If I recall correctly - you complain if posts do not make reference to woodwork even though this is specifically the 'Off Topic' section, so it seems that you are doubly confused since one would not expect humour in a 'Grammar' thread.

I think you meant, "This is all my fault, and I apologise."

I remember this exercise from school that demonstrated the importance of punctuation.

Punctuate the following (note that some words may require an initial capital but to show them here would over-simplify the exercise).

"that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is"
TO QUOTE MANUEL - "Que ?"

Easy
"that, that, is, is, that, that, is, not, is, not, is, that, it, it, is."

That post, and my other post, have been imported from the joke thread. They now appear
completely out of context.

Hoisted by my own petard!

I'll bring the subject under discussion to wood.

The use of annular rings to describe the annual growth rings of early and late wood in sawn timber.

Honestly !
