I freely admit that I am a pedant.
I'm not ashamed of it, I've always been this way and I'm too old to change now.
(No, Magoo, I don't like looking at kiddy porn, it means something else.)
When I hear someone say:"Well, the proof will be in the pudding" I get this terrible urge to punch them.
Because it's wrong.
I have also been politely asked to leave more than one cafe in the past for altering their chalkboard signage to remove superfluous commas.
"Assorted Cake's - £1.99!"
"All Breakfast's served with free Tea's or Coffee's!"
Is anyone else on here in the Pedant Club or is it just me?
(And anybody who points out that there should be an accent over the "e" in the word cafe above gets a slap - I can't do accents on my keyboard, so lump it.)
