Pedant of the Week Award

Just changed that in time.

 

No previous winners.

Facts are just as important as grammar.

 

Make your mind up, will you!!!

Who said anything about previous winners of this game?

 

Perhaps we should also have an 'Ironic Post of the Week Award' thread too?

 

"from previous experiences as to how the decision to determine a winner was made."

'Made' is past tense therefore a winner has occurred.

 

Okay, try again.

“of this game”.

Not that I’m being pedantic of course. Just aiming for accuracy.

 

This thread is making me smile. It is not the responses making me smile as much as the thought of Albert's head exploding as he reads it, especially if he has already indulged in a few cans first!

 

Well I re-read to be on the safe side but there is no "of this game" in that post.

So not pedantic and not accurate.

 

Exactly my point!!



The original post did not refer to “this game”.

“ and remember from previous experiences as to how the decision to determine a winner was made.”

It referred to “previous experiences “ It was, therefore, incorrect of you to put two and two together to make four when one of the two’s was in fact a three.

Capiche.

 

The word you require here is twos. The plural of two is twos. Two's indicates either possession or a shortening of two words (two is, two has, etc.).

 

I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 4.

Stop digging.

 

You desperately want to win this one, don’t you?

 

I haven’t been able to start digging as you won’t put the shovel down and give someone else a go.

 

The victory would not be mine. The victory would belong to the English Language.

 

If I was you I would let him keep the shovel as you dig with a spade and scoop with a shovel.

 

Deflection.

 

In this time of lockdown it appears that we have both found a sense of purpose today. Our days will be spent trying to make Trev cry!

 

No you haven't. If you had you would have used a z.

 

I am in recovery. One step at a time.
