Yes, grammar sheriffs do tend to miss the point somewhat. But I can see where they’re coming from. Bad spelling on forums annoys me too. So I wrote a poem about it. LOL. Read it in context here.
Many things are said in haste
And sometimes grammar’s a real waste
Of effort, time and energy.
It’s what was meant […]
The lovely Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 1’s “Breezeblock” fame gave me a birthday shout this week! Don’t I feel special, haha! Happy birthday to me! It’s in the first 7 mins of the show, be sure to check it out (always a good show!)

[quote]Toilet operations are performed by members of the human species (see remark 2 below) who fall into two categories, popularly designated as male and female. For convenience we shall use the name John to refer to the typical male and Marsha to refer to the typical female.
The performance of toilet operations by John and Marsha differ in a number of respects. The costs of these operations are peculiar to the respective sexes and are fixed except with respect to the position of the toilet seat. In particular:
Marsha performs toilet operations #1 and #2 with the seat in the down position. John performs toilet operation #1 with the seat in the up position and toilet operation #2 with the seat in the down position. If the seat is in the wrong position before performing the toilet operation the position must be changed at an average cost C. Optionally the position may be changed after performing the toilet operation, also at an average cost C. (Changing the position of the seat during the performance of a toilet operation is beyond the scope of this note and is definitely not recommended.)
