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.

Yes

Isn"t the correct word to use here "pedantry"?

Em..........no!

This thread contains a question that is actually pretty important - hope the fanatical attenion to grammar doesn"t make the thread unreadable and therefore lose the original question.
1. Is Multi Tabling allowed? and if so, will the two tourneys be run in the same vicinity (bit of a pain if people are running from one end of DTD to the other, and will upset all those playing in-between)
2. If not allowed, will thought be given to pushing back the start of the HORSE tourney for an hour to allow the usual flurry of early exits from day 2 of the Main Event to sort themselves out?
3. With respect to any sale, given that there are so many people hoping to pick up available HORSE tickets, will there be a structured sale with a waiting list, rather than a "best mates first" or "buy you a pint" appoach - both of which go against APAT ethos?
I have no worry about point 3 as I have tickets for both tourneys.... however I do hope that points 1 and 2 will be relevant for me.

1) Yes, multitabling will be allowed and we will encourage the tournaments to be played in the same area of the cardroom for live update purposes, but that is under the responsibility of Dusk Till Dawn and is not something the players will be able to influence.
3) APAT has no control over how players may want to sell seats that they have purchased. As long as the seats are sold to a member at face value, we could not expect to influence who they are sold to. If a player cancels directly with APAT on Sunday morning, then we will of course ensure the seats are sold to the first player on the reserve list.

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" ? ?
