Also, as someone who chastises people for their grammar and spelling, you get three black marks for "to be sat in front of thier pc"s"

Obviously you did not know I was dictating this to my PA, so I will forgive your impudence.
--- End quote ---
I will transfer two of the black marks to your PA for mistyping thier and pc"s, but the sat must be representative of your dictation, so one black mark is not absolved, unless their PAs put them in front of their PCs. One hundred times please - The imperfect of sit is sitting, not sat.

Sigh.
An "Apostrophe", not a "Comma".
You see, standards ARE slipping.

It is an apostrophe, not a comma, but both are incorrect. PA"s is possessive, as in my PA"s typing error.
PAs is simply a plural. If you wish to be pedantic (and who doesn"t?), you could argue for abbreviation points after the P and the A, but the more informal PA is in common usage and reads better.

worst grammar-correcting post ever ;D
(is my hyphen ok there?)
--- End quote ---
Yes
--- End quote ---
Isn"t the correct word to use here "pedantry"?
--- End quote ---
Em..........no!
--- End quote ---
Do you really mean "Em" -
"An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the point size of the current font."
Or did you mean "Erm" ? ?
--- End quote ---
MinTrav, you have not answered my query.
--- End quote ---
Okay; no I didn"t mean "Erm". Who ever says that? Words can have more than one meaning, but if you think "Mmmmm" looks better on paper, I am happy to go along with that.
ps. Why don"t you start a Pedants" Thread so we can act smug and feel superior without troubling everyone else?
pps. Before someone starts, I know the apostrophe could go elsewhere or not exist at all, depending on the meaning, but there you go.
