Sorry, I have a thing against people nitpicking grammar on the internet. Correct grammar is fine to push, but when it is nitpicked it bothers me when someone acts as a corrector (it is rude to correct someone else's grammar*) and then makes a mistake in his/her own post. I've been waiting to catch totoro in the act, but I've yet to detect any errors in his posts :biggrintotoroI realize it wasn't a pun. It was a grammatical pun. And do you have something against me, or are you just refusing to quit? You guys who know him better than me, is he always this stubborn?
*if you feel the error is so bad that it messes up the post's meaning or that the writer may be oblivious to his/her mistake, you could point it out in a way that does not come off as mocking the person (see your post) or send a PM. A simple "by the way, I think you mean .... not ..." will suffice. Correcting the writer can be in his/her benefit (it is good to know the difference between affect and effect, afterall), but don't make it sound like you're better than the writer while doing so.
