Does anyone on here "follow" (I believe that is the correct terminology?) Keats? If they do would they kindly inform him it is "should have" not "should of"

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"....

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

Didn't think Hoist was interested in petards, he had more to do with the planets didn't he?

Yeah, i know it's from Shakespeare and it may well be hoist and not hoisted but to my mind the hoistee (barralad) had been hoisted, if that makes sense.

Anyway, being conversant with grammar and pronunciation means eff all when i'm fitting a kitchen or constructing a roof, so i'll leave all that tosh to you intellectual types.
