      Heard on Radio 4 news last night "John Bercow strongly _denies_ the allegations" So all's well with the world again!

      Or maybe bots reading this forum forward snippets containing relevant keywords, and somebody actually saw my post?!

      Possible I suppose, but more likely they were inundated by complaints from grammar Nazis through their normal channels.

              Capitalisation is not part of grammar. It is a type of orthography.

              I hope that helps.

                'I could of done that'

                'He is very unique'

                'Expresso Coffee'

                Letter aitch pronounced haitch.

                All like fingernails down a blackboard to me.
                My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

                  "new premieres"

                  Pisses me off every time I see that in the Sky TV menu

                  Or the other month, when a summary on Sky TV of that film Dambusters read ".. infamous raids on the dams ..". FFS, "infamous" is "bad famous", i.e. famous for the wrong reasons, like a serial killer!

                      Nazis should have a capital "N" !

                      God, when will it ever end?
