10:10

[Penners]

Ah, Horace. Misreading can be as sinful as misusing.

If you check back, you'll see that I actually said: "...those who do not observe the correct use of apostrophes."

By the way, split infinitives also incur a frown, at the very least.

 

[Moo]

Thank goodness you're back, Penners. Standards have been slipping of late.

 

[Penners]

It's a heavy burden of responsibility that I bear.

But I never complain.

 

[Horace]

To wrongly split an infinitive. Now that is a sin of which I am never guilty.

PS Strictly, you can't incorrectly use something that you did not use in the first place.

 

[Flyfisher]

Horace has an interesting point. Is this a misspellin or the incorrect use of a 'g' ?

 

[Penners]

It's not an incorrect use of the letter 'g', strictly, but surely it's true to say that you "have not observed the correct use of the letter 'g'".

Not that I'm pedantic about such things, you understand

 

[Flyfisher]

A masterful display of pedantic logic. I am not worthy.

I also don't know how to embed external smileys

 

[Penners]

Aw shucks...

The above post correctly used three apostrophes, but incorrectly omitted the letters. Do I win a prize for taking this to an absurd extreme, or just a slap?

 

[Penners]

No and yes, in that order.

Unexpected publicity for the 10:10 campaign from a knight on a shiny bicycle:

Sir Boris, eh?

Well done him.

I wonder why I find this story so much more shocking because the aggressors were girls...
