Got a list of the forum rules in 'Overview' in the User Control Panel section.
Was wondering if I was being singled out by the mods for a spanking.

    yes, it all started when a communter, remember them, they complained that sections of the forum seemed uninviting to newcomers - made fun of a forumite for not being able to spell correctly. To his credit DDD, remember him, complained to the mods about the rudeness of the communter pedants....so no txt speak....well thats the forumites in Runcorn fecked then, hehe

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    There are more grocer's on cycling forums than anywhere else. Fact! It's the delivery bike, I suspect.

    The problem with correct the grammer of somebody else is that you have to be very careful about your own grammer.
    Des was incorrect with his correction unless he was assuming that the thread only belonged to a single pedant.

    It should be pedants' thread

    I read it, not much of a plot. Did you miss out the comma to test me? Did I win? Do I get a prize?
