Irregardless of that (had to throw that in because it is a word I very seldom use because I know its not a word and have been burned on it) I think the grammar cops a joke. Opens themselves up for ridicule the next time they mistype of don't use proper punctuation. As long as people are not speaking in Oylaheze, who cares? Seriously, Bingo doesn't know when to use their, there or they're, but the message gets across, and that's the important thing, right? Last time I checked this site didn't have a spellcheck or grammar check, so what's the big deal? Christ, if we limited this site to people who could articulate a concise argrument, and did so in a gramatically correct fashion, Calgarypuck would cease to exist immediately. It just seems like such a petty thing to get all worked up about.

Hate to spoil your fun, but not worked up at all. I'm actually having a pretty good chuckle over the whole thing with a co-worker. The number of important issues that could be discussed and people fall back to nit picking over nothing.

I agree. It's time for a religion debate. Better yet, a driving thread!

It's just a fun, funny thread.

Really, in the grand scheme of thing, talking about hockey on a message board isn't important, yet, you do. haha! Stupid Lanny!

Sounds good.

Who would win in a fight between a Star Destroyer and the Enterprise?

Go!

On to more important issues then.

Is there anything softer than a cloud? Personally, if there is, I don't want to know about it...
