Unintentionally. I just didn't know that was your claim to fame, as it were

I kind'a like "nerk", too - although I don't think it'll have the impact it deserves coming with an American accent.

As for my claim to fame - my kids are appalled every now and then when I either make a comment or understand one they feel I shouldn't - hence the "claim". But then, living with the son of a dockie (hah! thought I was going to say something else, didn't you?), lasciviousness is practically a prerequisite to a happy marriage.

Try it then you will see how much you like the spilling police.

I'll decline your challenge and remain a sad bastard, thank you ...

So let me guess. Your best friends are Mr. Comma, Miss. Full Stop, Mr. Grammar and Miss. Spelling.

A little obsessed. I say that he is very obsessed about spelling, punctuation, and grammar. He already told me that my spelling, punctuation, and grammar are shit. Which I knew anyway.

SultanOfSwing = spelling, punctuation, and grammar police officer.

Enjoy your job as spelling, punctuation, and grammar police officer SultanOfSwing.

Though does remind me of that retort to "Abortion is Murder"...that "BJ's must be cannibalism"

Now I can't remember everything I've posted, but if you can point to the post where I actually said your spelling and grammar were 'shit' I'll be quite surprised.

I correct, yes, but there's nothing wrong with expressing yourself correctly, is there?

Sorry it took so long to get back to answering, thanks for the info, I did buy them at TJ Max. They look a little nicer than the World Market ones and cost less too.
