Welcome to the Forum, Oscarkin! If that surprised you, check out this 5- page thread with ~ 85 posts, all extolling the virtues of good grammar. You will take great pleasure in some of the Oxford comma debates that ensued. Cheers!

And indeed I did take great pleasure in reading the extended grammar thread. In fact, I think I have been deeply impacted by the experience.

So when are we going to debate the merits of box vs rotary vs flat? Microplane vs OXO vs Kuhn-Rikon? Coarse vs fine vs shaved?

 

These are serious issues, dammit!

 

Perhaps an oversight committee is in order. I've always wanted to sit on a committee that looked at oversights.

Jeez; Now we know who ended up with all the gnats!

Agreed. I don't give a gnat's ass if someone makes an occasional spelling or grammar mistake.

Well if you have been deeply impacted, there is a thread about the best methods of cleansing prior to bottoming. There is probably something there which can assist you in moving that impaction.

back on graters, I just ate at an Italian restaurant that served Grana Padano cheese in a self-contained grater. I'm obsessed. I was grating it onto my plate and eating it by the handful.

Wow, @poolboy48220, you are a man after my own heart. I LOVE eating grated cheese.

 

Now I will be scouring the universe of a self-contained grater. :)

I'm a retired English teacher and the breakdown of correct usage, careless errors and plain ignorance is maddening, but can also be amusing. Here are a few of my favorite malapropisms.

 

-We will nip that in the butt!

-I had an outer body experience.

-My job has good French benefits.

-I drank a litter of wine and got really drunk.

- It's outside my spear of influence.

 

The great thing is that these sort of make sense!

I guess I'm dumb. What's wrong with #2
