I swear to Og, if I see one more deliberate spelling, punctuation, or grammar error, I’m going to turn into a gibbering idiot. I’m cringing like . . . er. . . someone who cringes a lot. (WHO, not ‘that’! Fricking WHO!!!)

Sorry, that just gets on my nerves. You may now return to your regularly scheduled Pitting (such as it is, anyway).
