I assume you mean "Keates"?

A Pedant



Says the person who cannot spell PIZZA FFS....

No actually I was referring to the Romantic 18th/19th century English poet who regrettably died far too young in Italy in the 1820s. A well known tweeter of his time it is a little known fact that his "Ode to a Nightingale" was the very first poem to be launched on ye olde twittere.
That Keats of course would have rendered my original post superfluous because he most definitely knew the difference between "of" and "have"....

ooh, a pedants thread... always keen to play:
The phrase is actually "HOIST with his own petard" (not hoisted)
From Shakespeare (William, not Craig) ‘'Tis sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petard’

Not being pedantic, but is it "a pedants thread", or "a pedant's thread", or both?

quite right too! I meant pedants (as in more than one pedant) as an adjective describing the thread rather than trying to infer 'possession' of the thread by one or more pedants (pedant's for one, but would it be pedants' for more than one?) but on reflection I'm not convinced it would be right of me to use several pedants in adjectival form but then again I'm not convinced that I it wrong either. e.g. sports medicine: the branch of medicine that covers a number of sports (the sport is descriptive and not possessive of the medicine so requires no possessive apostrophe)

Altogether it is a field of mines but at the moment I'm on the lookout for a petard - it's bloody freezing here
