Given the levels of dubiously constructed English appearing on this forum recently, I thought it would be appropriate to share the article linked to below with the Gentle Readers.

Now, fortunately, I should note that a large and active contingent of well-educated grumpy old men seems to have saved KB from being swamped, to date.

But it's never too soon for preventive measures, I say. And we must remember that the Yoof of Today are the Leaders of Tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with typos or speling misstakes. That's not what the article's talking about.

Yes, on this site we speak the Queens English.

Well, possibly her fourth cousin's husband's niece's sister's brother-in-law's school chum's mate's colleague's English.

But definitely English.

No, these days that would be the Queen's cousin's daughter's husband's English, apparently.

Grumpy old man indeed!! Harumph! I've seen off one Sk8r_Boi and will, no doubt, see off others before my time here is through. Although I have learned that while you can take the Boi out of the gargre, you can never totally get the gargre out of the Boi! =^..^=

Or summat.

So here's some fares fanning, or fans faring, or summat.

I don't.
And he/she/it has left us a wonderful legacy in the form of "gargre".
Shame, really. Such a proud, rich legacy for one so FRIGGIN ANNOYING!!

It's OK now.
I've taken a few deep, slow breaths, and I'm (relatively) OK again.

Speaking of "Whatever happend to..?", what happened to Satan, and his mate God?
I had a friend with two cats named Satan (white) and God (black). God got run over by a car.
