    Grammar

    Grammar is important! Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse.

          Sorry I was just being a pedant. I was not expected to be taken seriously.

          I think the bigger issue is that neither Mrs BP nor my mistress have yanked my chain yet....

              ...and a very good one. However <extremepedant>it it should be "Uncle Jack" and "uncle jack" - uncle is only a proper noun when used as part of a name </extremepedant>

                    Well, it made me laugh this morning!
                    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero
