    All this discussion about grammar and vocabulary has brought out the inner pedant in me: It's not "should of",it's "should have". The normal abbreviation for "should have" is "should've" which sounds like "should of", but this is no reason not to write "should have".

    Right, I'll get off my metaphorical high horse and wind my metaphorical neck in.

    (I could have railed against "alot", but this could be a typo, so I won't push it):emoticon-0105-wink:

    You'd also argue that Pelle would fail. Let me go and find my pinch of salt

    In which case it's a fair cop, I wouldn't recognise irony if it fell on me

    Standard One: Stop using s's where z's belong.
    Standard Two: "Zee," not "Zed."

    It would appear that I am now officially redundant.

    St. Godders, I am but a parvenu when it comes to your legendary pedantry. Which doesn't mean that I'm not pedantic, merely that I have but lately come to public shows of pedantry

    Hook, line, sinker and the rest of the fishing tackle. Still, someone has to be the fall guy
