Matthew Le God Posted 6 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 6 February, 2011 (edited) I reckon this is why Daniel Seaborne didn't have a great game yesterday. He was hurt no-one could spell his name.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 Why start a thread about it? I thought you enjoyed talking down to people from upon high. Surely spelling mistakes give you the ideal chance to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 The first recorded use of the word 'pedant' on these forums (fori?) ? Discussing palindromic dates .... on SFE ..... big excitement when the dates went to --/--/200x. Mass excitement in the media naming --/--/---- 'as the first palindromic date since xx/xx/xxxx 'and it wouldn't recur for 'xx years' - I basically rode a coach-and-horses through their logic ... I claim the first recorded use of the word 'pedant' on SFE / Saints Web. Always havea chuckle when I see the word 'pedant' in a post (EJ Thribb was first tho).

MarkSFC Posted 7 February, 2011 Share Posted 7 February, 2011 I thought Ricky Lambert played well at the weekend and as for Dietmar Hammans' goal...excellently worked from Alexandria Oxlaid-Chamberpot.

saintbletch Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Hmm. The Pedant Thread? The title conveys the likely contents of the thread so it certainly passes muster as a piece of Internet communication. I'm just not completely sure that it is accurate. If the thread was started by someone who thought of themselves as a pedant and perhaps wanted other pedants to contribute, then shouldn't it be "The Pedant's Thread" or "The Pedants' Thread"? If the thread content was designed to be anally or annoyingly fussy about the rules of language, then perhaps it should have been "The Pedantry Thread" or at a push "The Pedantic Thread"? To my eye, and I'm happy to be corrected by our more learned members, "The Pedant Thread" only works as a title if it is a thread about a specific, probably well-known pedant or if somehow the thread itself were the pedant - not the content, the originator or the contributors. If I'm right then all of the content should change to reflect that. I'd be obliged if all contributors to the thread could edit their posts accordingly. Well you started it.

Surman4no7shirt Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Regarding the first line of the first post of this thread; in my opinion the sentence fragment "It is..." is singular. You should have used the plural in this sense as you went on to list several instances in which you felt people should be more attentive with their spelling. Did you know that if there is nothing you want to listen to on Radio 4 at the moment you can use iPlayer to catch up on the bits you missed? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
