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.

)

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'.

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.
