Whilst we're at it, let's throw in the acronym mutilators.
F'instance, anyone who calls it a PIN number should be KILLED TO DEATH! What does "PIN" stand for? It's a frickin' Personal Identification Number. P-I-N. When you call it a PIN number, it becomes a Personal Identification Number number. Argggghhhhhh!!!!
Arrgghh!!!! The attack of the killer apostrophe! If it's a plural, it don't need and apostrophe!!
Continuing my one man battle in the grammar field!
Oh, and, Celsery, old vegetable, you can't just rely on your speel chekkur without reading yer own stuff y'know: "it don't need and apostrophe!!" Shame shame.

Many apologies! I should look at my stuff before I post. As for the spellchecker, I never use it for that same reason!
No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation.
No man has the right to say to his country, "Thus far shalt thou go and no further."
Went out on a dual mission today: get some pics in for the thread and have a day out with the family in Stratford Upon Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare: one of the worlds most critically acclaimed writers Not a big fan myself: too many typos in his scripts for me
Anyhow, walking around gave a few opportunities.
The first being a statue of Hamlet, who gazes longingly upon his NUB
Which gave rise to the cigars and subsequent influence for that chilled out moment when things don't go quite right as 'Baldy Man' found out...
Couldn't resist that one
Then we went onto the actual house where the famous bard was born and lived, with Mrs and little CJ in the fore and to the left there...
and closer up...
And even one of the man himself, smoking a 464T Habano...
What was most surprising during the day was a conversation with the curator of Shakespeare's former abode. We started talking all things cigar and the global influence upon the Hamlet cigar brand amongst other things: This led to the discovery that The Tradegy of Hamlet, or just Hamlet as it grew to be more simply known, was thus titled because Shakespeare couldn't spell NUB!
