Just curious.
Okay, I hadn't used that phrase before I saw it maybe here, but I cannot swear to that. If it wasn't here,
then it was at the other site which I shouldn't need to name at present because not so long ago,
there were quite a few who were saying that they didn't really want to see that name here.
I can't recall who it was now, but 'grammr nazi' was and maybe still is, part of their signature.
Anyhow, there are others either here or there, who are more into mentioning slips in grammar than I am
and they have previously mentioned errors, not only to other members, but also to the boss here as well.
At one time in the past, I used to do some proof reading at a place of employment, so I guess that old habits die hard as they say.
My intent was just to point out what looked to me like an error that's all and it wasn't intended in a bitchy manner or anywhere near anything like that.
It was more a case of thinking what any guests or new members may have thought if they saw that, was what prompted me to mention it.
