The music quiz is on at Aikmans, in the cellar bar on a Thurs. Starts at 8.30 ish i think...

There's a few quizzes on apostrophes lurking around the town on that night too, i think.

If you're going to try and be a fucking pedant, then at least realise it should be "There're".

So someone asked me "What is it you do?". I thought about it for a minute. Then I thought about it a little more. All the while I probably looked like I was staring in to space, struggling for an answer. And I was. There was only one response I could really give.

"I make sure the shit stays off the fan."

Now now, let's not get all het up about it.

This Thursday there'll be an inter-society pub quiz in the back room of the Whey Pat at 8.30pm, hosted by the good people of AltSoc, ComedySoc(k), DocSoc and PirateSoc, if that helps?

I don't have to try and be a pedant, your ignorance just happens to bring it out in me.

Plus, the distinction between the countable noun of mass 'a few' is fine to say the least, in popular English usage.

However, the greengrocers' apostrophe is a criminal offence, and grammarians should exact capital punishments.

Cunt.

Interesting that you suggest my ignorance brings out your pedanticism... I only recollect, and only see, my posting in response to you...

What are we letting into St Andrews nowadays?

It's 'pedantry', not 'pedanticism'.

[Gealle]

Indeed so.

I guess humour's disappeared from this thread as well?

One could argue Maria's "quiz's" was correct as an abbreviation.

Of course, that sentence should read "I don't have to try to be a pedant; your ignorance just happens to bring it out in me."
