    SilentC:

    You're first post was an ostensible correction to my first post, which you admitted in a subsequent post was incomplete and did not correct all the mistakes of my punctuation.

    I therefore assert that your first post contained punctuation errors and hence fails to qualify for the first error-free post in this thread.

    It also contains the non-sentence "", which is therefore a grammatical error.

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    I not that the forum content statement has been updated, but still omits a possessive apostrophe, has a word capitalised, and has a full-stop instead of a question mark for the implied interrogative.

    Ah, but the errors were quoted verbatim. My only mistake was in not surrounding them in quotation marks and inserting [sic] in the appropriate places. The quote block formatting substitutes for quotation marks on this forum and the insertion of [sic] is an editorial convention, not a rule of grammar, so therefore, I'm the winner and nyah nyah to you.

    You know I'm right.

    Nice try, Silent, but as the pic shows, the errors were not quoted verbatim: you corrected my "your" to "you're", hence your correction was only partial, and contained uncorrected errrs.

    And you didn't address the non-grammatical "".

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Current score? Last I saw Australia were 2/60 - but that was about two hours ago.

    Guess this thread has now been completely hijacked...
