Prescriptivists

Basically, if you are strict about grammar/lexicon/whatever (or aren't but feel like correcting somebody), post the allegedly incorrect post and your corrections here instead of disrupting the main thread.

Good idea. This is so old, however, that I feel the need to boost it so all of us can see it without diging so far. Also, is there by chance a way to create a "Grammar Nazi" user group?

Porpoise
Is that going off of my usual usage of "porpoise"?
