What is Gaudere's Law

I hear people accused of it from time to time (myself included). What exactly is it?

Gaudere’s Law:

I don’t know where the original thread is, but I understand it means if you post to criticise someone else’s grammar/spelling/punctuation, you will inadvertantly include a similar grammar/spelling/punctuation error in your own post.

Dude, I’m hot!

Or did you mean Godwin’s Law?

Nope it was Gaudere all right, thanks for the answer. But just out of curiosity what is Godwin’s law?

Godwin’s Law

FIXED URL - UB
Okay, so I didn’t fix the URL. I’m stumped, too.

Hey, what happened to my URL? I didn’t do anything wrong. Or was it the apostrophe that screwed it up?

haha, I think I’ve been accused of that as well.

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/Godwin’s-Law.html

Yeah, it’s the apostrophe that’s keeping it from making a link.

Copy and Paste it from the Address window, I guess.

When a character creates a problem for link parsing, replace the offending character with a % sign followed by its ASCII value. e.g. replace a single quote with %27.

Which came first? Gaudere the mod, or Gaudere the Law?

Gaudere’s Law – she was a member of hoi posterloi when she observed it, being promoted to Moderator and then Administrator somewhat later.

Next week on this thread: proof that the egg preceded the chicken! :slight_smile:

You can also take the url and paste it into the form at www.tinyurl.com and post the resultant tiny url. In this case, the new url becomes:

http://tinyurl.com/38eu

And the week after that, the end to the Orange the color vs. Orange the fruit debate!

Okay, so it’ll be solved today:

What came first, orange or oranges?
