Well, we have been known to drag offenders before the tribunal and jbe has a penchant for ordering lashings.... On the other hand, I'm there to act as your defense. Now, there's a positive thought!

Don't believe a word that Edwarda says, Antoine. We do NOT drag ANYONE before any tribunal. We are NOT self-appointed grammar cops! From the outset, the Lab's motto has been: It Is Not Nice To Correct People In Public. The Lab was created specifically in order to save Purists from that temptation, by giving them a place to vent in without hurting anyone's feelings. Is that positive enough for everyone? Thus, the only people who get subjected to "tongue-lashings" (from zealots like Edwarda) are people who actually post in the Grammar & Spelling Lab. If they make errors there, all gloves are off, as it were. <gg> jbe
