A woman after your own heart, Bossarky.

Dear Grammar Wench,

Would it be correct to always begin cover letters to potential editors with the phrase "I'M A DOUBLE GOLDEN HEART FINALIST!!!!" in red letters?

Dear Two,

Probably not, but if you insert the phrase as a pale grey watermark in the background of your letter, I think the fact would act on them more subtly.

Signed,
GW

He, he, he.

Done. Despite the error in updating user profile someone else is on about here.

Easily the funniest thread i've ever seen on here.. Don't really know where to put commas either, but it's good fun reading some of the pi55 ripping on here..

I came across a poster for a movie today which gave me pause:

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD PRINCESS

I was of course confused, what is a "real world princess", and why were we being welcomed to it? Then a realised it lacked a comma, and should have been "Welcome to the real world, Princess".

So my question is. Bossarky, are you making movie posters now?

Maybe, she, is, a, realworld, princess?

That's not something one can be welcomed to though. Indeed, that's how my brain first parsed it, but it made no sense.

Oman

I'd like to take this moment to say why does it say Welcome, Oman. is there really a need for the comma, i mean boards is just filled with commas, its not right

Esel

Yeah, it should say "All hail Oman!".

No more like ''All Hail The Unbievably Outrageously Brilliant Oman!''
