In this game, we will be nit picking the previous poster’s thread. As long as its friendly, you can nit pick ANYTHING about the previous poster’s thread - grammar, spelling, style, presentation, brevity - or length; its an open season for nit pickers!
Now I have left plenty of oportunities in this OP for nit picking… just to get things rolling…

Surely you meant “compose” although I could imply from your post that you also had “comprise” in mind as you wrote this.
I meant ‘comprise,’ and don’t call me Shirley.
Compose vs. comprise (the smaller parts compose the larger):
It is a a lighthearted, easygoing nitpicking thread.
You only needed one “a” before “lighthearted” in this sentence.
