Yep, well I’m not big on grammer either [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Which is a shame since my father is an ex-english teacher. He once sent me to a psychiatrist because he thought I was dislexic. I wasn’t…. I’m just lazy I guess. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

And therein lies the whole point (and my excuse [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] ) to the SG Guide. It is written from the point of view of a sci fi SadGeezer (not an English Expert – or a writer, simply someonme very keen on spouting off about their fave show). This can be irritating for some people with a better command of the English language, I’m not over concerned about the poor grammar. The spelling mistakes are bad, but if the spell checker doesn’t pick them up then they will get left.
There is only so much error correction that time will allow.
My critisism of her otherwise accurate email is that she completely missed the point of the site. It’s the SadGeezers Guide! ‘Trekkie Sad’ is an exaggeration sure, but hello! I AM Sad!
– and proud of it!

Devine/Divine;Anyone ever hear the famous story about the Italian, Polish, and British men who talked about what language God speaks? If so point Jen in that direction.
What story is that?
