So,~ "How many Pedants does it take to change a light bulb?"... "Well actually that would be replace a light bulb."
Last night I saw one of my friends who (no doubt) assiduously reads Paula's Place every night, and he had a complaint! I had made a slip! My tag line above did not have a capital G for Gardener! I have now corrected that. But it makes me think.......
I get infuriated when I see, all too often, "your" instead of "you're"; or There, Their and They're used interchangeably, and of course there are many, many others.
I suspect that this is just a symptom of a more general intolerance, something Paul has a much greater stock of than Paula
