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.bee bee see wrote:Easy there, Nick.

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?

It's a shame then that you've chosen to capitalise 'nazi'.Ronnie Rowlands wrote:I enjoy it, I'm a grammar Nazi. Hail grammar!Nick Harvey wrote:I fear most people failed to look up and, therefore, missed the low flying humour in that one.

You do spell it with a capital letter...

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.Sput wrote:In which case you need to capitalise grammar too

Grammar Nazi is a name. Nazi can be used as an adjective, so you'd call yourself a Grammar Nazi or describe yourself as a grammar nazi. The long and short of it is that there's little gain for being a pedantic cretin as people will always shout you down when you slip up.
