Is your 'Yes' followed by a comma?
You're dead.

Tee hee hee.
I'm thankful that this doesn't really happen.
Or, does it?

Oh ! I have come home ! A pedant's thread !
I can understand typos,I don't always have time to go back and corrrect mine, but to use totally the wrong word,or leave a word out, i.e we often see on here "I could care less" when they mean "could not" care less.
Another gripe I have is American spelling, now I know that not all spelling in proper English, like what I use, Tee Hee, makes sense, but mostly it gives a clue as to the origin and even original meaning and usage ( Etymology)of the word, American spelling loses that, and therefore loses some colour (notice the spelling) in the process.
Shall we all correct every mistake on here ? I hope not, many valued posters do not have English as their first language, but we understand them well.
Nobody should even be shot down in flames metaphorically on here, let alone shot, as in the video, great comic skit that. ( ,,,oops, bad English usage, Fowler spinneth in his grave)
