Easy there, Nick. He's only on twelve posts.

Still, it would be nice to see you in a linguistical fight with Stephen Fry.

It would be nice to see you in a fight with Mike Tyson.

Hopefully he'd bite your hands off as well so you would stop typing.

As a matter of fact, it is English Language work. I was originally writing something else and changed my mind at the last minute.

And BTW, what has a post count got to do with language skills? (and yes, I know its not standard English to use a fronted conjunction

)

I fear most people failed to look up and, therefore, missed the low flying humour in that one.

It was the past tense of the verb to bind of which I was speaking.

Whilst I'm here, does anyone else enjoy Never Mind the Full Stops on BBC Four?

I enjoy it, I'm a grammar Nazi. Hail grammar!

It's a shame then that you've chosen to capitalise 'nazi'.

You do spell it with a capital letter...

Sput · Mon 23 Apr, 2007 14.14

In which case you need to capitalise grammar too

What? Grammar is a normal word, and doesn't need a capital letter unless it's the start of a sentence. Nazi is a name.
