Christopha, I was going to remind you that the spelling issue is dead and buried and then I looked up and saw the heading of the forum and realised that you were only joking.

G'day.
English.... a language where a double negative is usually a positive but is sometimes a negative however... a double positive is always a positive...
Yeah, right.

The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

Christopha, I did not understand 90% of those words that you said. Is it the Queensland Governments fault that i didn't understand those words? Like i'm a smart chap, but i have no idea of the meanings of any of those big words like "tautological" or "Eschew" or "Parenthetical" or even worse... "always". I wouldn't even know the first step to pronouncing those words.

Christopha doesn't either, he's just trying to earn red squares by being annoying.
Just ignore him and maybe he'll go away. Or you could try my approach and insult him in a personal way, then he'll bring out the big guns and threaten to come around and bore you personally.
Christopha, up close and personal :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Even Neil needs a break occasionally that's why he didn't take Chris to Newcastle.Cheers
