    I think we've all discovered over the last six years there is very little he doesn't know :-)

    He doesn't know when to shut up :-)

    Oh, so Pendants were used as an example? I thought it was some grammatical term I didn't know about.

    Didn't think you could start a sentence with 'But' ? :-)

    There is nothing wrong with starting a sentence with a conjunctive.
    If that's the case, I demand all the time back I spent in detention at school for starting a sentence with 'but' and 'and'. Would you recommend I contact the European Court of Human Rights?
    I fear that you may not get any redress if you did as there is no 'statue law' for the English language but only 'common law' and as such the 'rules' change subtly over time. I raised the issue of starting a sentence with a conjunctive with my girlfriend who is a teaching assistant at a primary school. She informed me that is is now acceptable to do this if you wish to add emphasis to the sentence. But it still seems wrong to me!

    No, it shouldn't.

    'Don't muck about folks, have I got any recourse to the European Court of Human Rights or not' ?

    I know nothing about feet, therefore will not be contributing to this thread.

    I feel the same because I know nothing about sewing.

    A non-grammatical question which sorts out pedants from those who don't give a toss is whether the twenty-first century began on 1 January 2000 or 1 January 2001.

    Shouldn't it be titled "Pedant's Thread" not "PedantsThread"?

    Probably 'Pedants' Thread' assuming it's for more than of us.
