If I don't point out that they are, in fact rugby players and not footballers, Pulaski will come by and give me an earful.

So there you go ...

Leslie

Again, I remembered the IMPORTANT parts.

SultanOfSwing

It was not an assessment of importance, merely a fulfillment of my obligations as Pedant of the Year

Pulaski

Wrong again. It is, actually, "rugby football". Please add one demerit to your pedant of the year scorecard.

SultanOfSwing

Rugby Union, really. Who actually calls it 'rugby football' anymore anyway?

V-signs to your de-so called-merit ...

Pulaski

Er, the Rugby Football Union So a triple demerit has been assessed, for disputing a valid demerit ..

SultanOfSwing

Nobody calls them 'rubgy footballers' though, you great numpty. Plus you willmored your quote (your stealth edit was useless, I saw it) so all credibility is gone

Anyway, that took us off course for a while. Gays with guns. Discuss ...

Leslie

Ha! I was right!

SultanOfSwing

Well, no. You called them footballers, which they are never called. Pulaski's off on some tangent regarding to the name of the game they play but I'm still right.

Sally Redux

Yanks call throwing the ball 'football'

SultanOfSwing

But yet they still don't call the players 'footballers'

Pulaski

"Stealth edit"? ..... None of my recent posts on this thread are edited.

SultanOfSwing

Right.

You had a bodged quote, which in the time it took me to reference it was fixed. It would have been done quickly enough to not tag it as 'edited' but I know what I saw

Pulaski

HMRC does, and here's one of several Wikpedia articles.

Let's face it, you hate being wrong even more than I do!

Pulaski

I didn't realise it was possible to edit a post and not have it flagged as edited. I have learned something today. ..... And if you think the removal of one "/" and the insertion of another "/" invalidates an argument, might I suggest a career in politics or the legal profession.
