I would also advise that posters don't use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

You're quite right.  Some people don't think it matters.  It shows.

Others would say that anything worth doing is worth doing properly.

Different strokes and all that.

Lettuce knot encourage the pedants!

And please, people, remember that it's a possessive pronoun with a gerund, always!

Thought I'd leave some on the table for you.

It's been a rough weekend but you have given me some much needed laughs Demonstone!
