    Men are hung, too, sometimes well, sometimes less so.

    If I ever found out who coined 'Across the pond' for the Atlantic, I'd marmalize them. A pond is an enclosed body of water - which the Atlantic isn't! :roll:

    (I've been waiting a long time to rant about that. :evileye: )

    Yeah but a pond is a small body of water and if you compare the Atlantic with the Pacific :p

    If you've got the time to create a post, you've got the time to get it right.

    Non-English speakers get a pass.

    I cringe to see "their" used for "there" but I can't seem to stop doing it! Posting from phone can create cringe-worthy grammer. Thank goodness for the editing function.

    Being anal retentive about such things is a sure sign of an inferiority complex.

    Or sociopathy.

    Lighten up FFS. It's a ****ing discussion forum.
