Well you know, there's a special fine levied on those who commit the sin of breaking English grammar.

They must pay the sintax. 🤣

Hahahaha!!! That's hilarious!

Sorry for derailing the thread.

However, I AM the (self-proclaimed) Grammar Police; whereas, I can't help but peruse the proper use of English (or lack thereof).

Please note that I used proper grammar and punctuation in this reply, and I also included the proper use of parenthesis. I AM the Grammar Police.

"Thread derailing detritus"

Hahaha! big_smile  What a great title! Hahahahaha!

However; if using proper English grammar, it should adhere to proper capitalization for the title.

"Thread Derailing Detritus".

The Amnesiac Philosopher laughs at the previous comment, because it's really funny. big_smile

However, he struggles within himself, because he wants to correct its punctuation. hmm

Re: Thread derailing detritus

That is a proper use of a semicolon so struggle on . . . 

In addition it is visually pleasing and symmetrical.    smile

By the way . . . you have one too many commas in your last post . . .

Actually two!

Re: Thread derailing detritus

Hahahaha!

Your use of the semicolon is most desirable and appreciated; however, you didn't include any periods in your quatrain.

While I am open to grammatical correction, I feel that perhaps a study in the use of commas is possibly something to be considered.

...and don't get me started on "you" as opposed to "your".

As someone once said:

"Your dinner" -> you will be no longer hungry.
"You're dinner" -> you will be dead.
