From a thread at CE... this wouldn't add anything there, but was just too good to pass up for a quibbler like me...

I'm sorry, Illumina, and pardon the tangent to that thread... but if I *was* placed? Bring the subjunctive back from the dead... if I *were* placed....

One cannot be too careful when one is positioning oneself as the "Overly pedantic mistress of language"....

Okay. Crawling back into my hole now... go on about your business... nothing to see here... move along, citizen....

*triple-checks for typos and grammatical errors first...*

Apologies to Illumina Drathiran'ar.

We, the kindly moderators of Ironworks Gaming Forum will be hanging the accused, Bungleau, from the nearest cyber tree tomorrow, which will include (but not limited to) a severe flogging at the same time.

Mods, take this one away to the holding cell.

What? What did I do? Was it being even more pedantic? Or allowing CE to fester over into GD? Or something more insidious?

TL, I'm going to need defense help.... quickly!

It was for being pedantic! Bungy, since you have 7k plus posts, I guess you've been on the net for awhile now. So you must know that netiquette requires you to NOT criticize grammar or spelling unless in that type of forum. Love [img]smile.gif[/img]

Besides, we've not had a public hanging or flogging in a while and we're just bored. So...you'll do nicely.

Any last meal request?

Needs a flogging, thou haughty pox-marked giglet!

edit: And yes, Luvian, I know you made that mistake on purpose.
