...and the cacti is not for burning. (Anyone? *sigh*)

This is freshly dug...

There was a certain purpose to this thread, which was not only to encourage some effort toward accuracy, but also to bolster the collective will of those who cherish the correct use of language; those who do not see the internet as the beginning of the end for efficient and eloquent linguistics, but another medium to which certain standards are equally as applicable.

With all due respect to my chosen weaponry of the first post (and numerous other helpful suggestions since), the best remedy for a carelessly spelt, punctuated or (sp)-ed post may be a quiet word in the ear of the culprit. Just so long as the word is 'Duck, Rimbaud's approaching and that fish seems warm.'
