didn't notice dude, but i was there friday night to buy my rims.

srs dealz to be had.

I'm suspecting severed corpus callosums.

I don't know how Platini survives this place sometimes. And thank jeebus for wiganwill, bumfluff and others with clearly superior cognitive abilty.

I sometimes shudder at the daily displays of vacuousness. Nevermind.

I shall practise being a curmudgeon now. Better not to leave it too late.

that last bit would make more sense if you just said "better not leave it too late".

damo, I'm thinking that you jest. I don't know how or where you learnt English, but I learnt mine in Grenada, but most importantly,
from my grandmother (an English teacher and a school founder).

Clearly I try to be grammatically correct, as opposed to what you have invited me to do, which is to be grammatically incorrect.
But it was probably just a joke. I should smile at the attempt.

Battle of the shortenings. 'Better not leave it too late' could be extended to 'you had better not leave it too late' to bring out the imperative more clearly. 'Better not to leave it too late' could be extended to 'it is better not to leave it too late', making an indicative sentence. Both are perfectly correct grammatically, if shortened and therefore less clear than if they were spelled out in full.

I owe you a pint Oliver. Its people like you that keep me refreshed.

oliver is a proof reader, don't you know :)

A dieing bread. I miss having them in-house at Publishers, truly valuable in this world.
This forum needs a 'grammar thread'.

HELL NO!

platini does a good job on his own thank you very much, and i'll leave the correcting of you post to him.

A Grammar Thread? Now that's actually a very good idea, .......but I don't like it.

Someone extremely clever would use it to VIRTUALLY imprison Platini, and that would be wrong.

;)

actually... it is now, a very good idea

Don't be like that. I like Platini.......He keeps the streets of Chester safe for the rest of us.

Have you heard anyone speaking improperly in Chester? I thought not. I rest my case Your Honor. [Americanism, correctly spelt]

Oliver is a proofreader, don't you know. :)

Sadly not for a day job, although I'd love to do some again.

Did you know that rocksteady is a proofreader, too? ;)

A dying breed. I miss having them in-house at publishers, truly valuable in this world.

I agree, and I'm not saying this about myself (I only did it for a student job), but about the really excellent proofreaders I've met. I think the standard of printed publications has really gone down since the proofreaders were mostly axed. :(

This forum needs a 'grammar thread'.

We don't have the single grammar thread to end them all (if anyone should start that, it'd be Platini), but there have been a couple of interesting threads in that direction, such as about expressions or phrases.

We should have a list of grammatical rules. And lists of everything else that can be listed in grammar and language. And then a definitive list of grammar lists.
