Pedantic Arsehole


Oh, deep joy! The website I had imagined creating for at least two years, but not bothered to set up, exists already!
Thanks to Richard & Judy today for revealing that there IS an Apostrophe Protection Society. I was the person who, when I worked in an office, was asked to write and circulate a guide to apostrophe usage. Our MD, who was fed up with the appalling standard of English that he kept seeing in company documents, asked me to do it because I was a "pedantic arsehole". Sad thing is, I was quite pleased to be asked. Which means he was absolutely right. I did it and of course the main offenders took no notice at all, possibly because READING wasn't their strong point either!
