How ignoble. Does anyone have the heart to tell him that "grammar" is not supposed to be capitalized?

"Yes we are in the hot topics list. But notice it is lead by a bunch of English teachers that [sic: who!!] sit and pet their cats while correcting Grammar errors on SI. Takes all kinds."

Funny. I don't think any of us is an English teacher in real life. He must just be jealous 'cuz we're hotter than they are.

"..But notice it is LEAD by a bunch of English teachers."

Hmm. Does this mean that this thread is a metallic element produced by a bunch of English teachers? No, can't be. I've got it: it is ammunition produced by a bunch of English teachers! Again, probably not. More likely, it is just dull (i.e., leaden) stuff produced by a bunch of English teachers.

Or maybe that should read "LED" rather than "LEAD"? Hmmm....
