Hypothetical : ME/HORSE clash

[Marty719]

Also, as someone who chastises people for their grammar and spelling, you get three black marks for "to be sat in front of thier pc"s"

Obviously you did not know I was dictating this to my PA, so I will forgive your impudence.

I will transfer two of the black marks to your PA for mistyping thier and pc"s, but the sat must be representative of your dictation, so one black mark is not absolved, unless their PAs put them in front of their PCs. One hundred times please - The imperfect of sit is sitting, not sat.

u left out a comma in PA"s

a comma?

Glad to c irony didn"t go to waste I am an english graduate, give me some credit...o w8...thts rite!

Sigh.

An "Apostrophe", not a "Comma".

You see, standards ARE slipping.

It is an apostrophe, not a comma, but both are incorrect. PA"s is possessive, as in my PA"s typing error.
PAs is simply a plural. If you wish to be pedantic (and who doesn"t?), you could argue for abbreviation points after the P and the A, but the more informal PA is in common usage and reads better.

worst grammar-correcting post ever  

(is my hyphen ok there?)

Yes

Isn"t the correct word to use here  "pedantry"?

Em..........no!

Do you really mean "Em" -

"An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the point size of the current font."

Or did you mean "Erm" ? ?

MinTrav, you have not answered my query.

Okay; no I didn"t mean "Erm". Who ever says that? Words can have more than one meaning, but if you think "Mmmmm" looks better on paper, I am happy to go along with that.

ps. Why don"t you start a Pedants" Thread so we can act smug and feel superior without troubling everyone else?

pps. Before someone starts, I know the apostrophe could go elsewhere or not exist at all, depending on the meaning, but there you go.

So, not "Erm" and definitely not "Em" ? ?

The thread sounds most intriguing.....

Well thanks to all who made constructive replies, and its a shame that some peeps felt the need to hijack the thread.

I still think it would be a good idea to stagger the start times on day2 to allow some early exits in the ME. Hope this will be possible for APAT to arrange

Maybe day 2 could also start at 3pm like Day 1a & b appear to be doing, meaning there would be 90 mins for players to bust out of Main Event before the HORSE tournament kicked off?

I hope this happens - it makes sense.

On a personal note, I would prefer the ME to start later on day 2. As, if by chance I make day 2, I will be pushing to make the start time any way as my eldest son starts his RAF Offucer training on Sunday at Cranwell. As a loving parent it would be re miss of me not to get him installed there, before high tailing it across the country to DTD for the start of Day 2! So if anything make it later!!! Purely self interested post and request, but then again aren"t everybody elses?  

[Marty719]

How many players are gng into day2?  How long shud it take to finish?
