    WOODIES' JOKES Heard a good joke about woodworking lately? Seen a good comic strip? Maybe know a tall tale or two that can even be true? Let's hear it from you.

    Then again, see "I say potatoes and you say potato's" (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...982324,00.html) and "Grammar Puss" (http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articl...wrepublic.html)
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Clearly that last line is wrong, the sentence is addressing the group, plural, so should be 'Let's hear it from youse'.
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

    Richard, if you want to be a spelling Nazi then, please, learn to spell first.

    " weilding " is spelt " wielding ".:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    A bit like throwing stones whilst living in glass house, I think.


    Peter, who is decidedly anti spelling Nazies.
