I have noticed that there is an inconsistency in the targets selected for apostrophic ridicule re-education. One of the reasons I didn't post this (admittedly horrendous) set of crimes was that DRT was shamed only recently. The wheel must surely turn; or else every crime must be punished alike, whoever commits it.DRT wrote:I feel so ashamed.jdaw1 wrote:Thrice?[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=63071#p63071]Here[/url] DRT wrote:I don't think AW77s example is !

Irony?In a PM discussing apostrophes djewesbury wrote:Derek has inserted it somewhere its not meant to be.
An easy excuse to make after the fact.djewesbury wrote:Too clever by half my son. You didnt get my joke.
No, I didn't. Rule 42b says that intentional apostrophe crimes in the apostrophe crimes thread go uncommented upon and are treated with the contempt they deserve.djewesbury wrote:Ha you missed that one. Which proves my point.

Because it's not an apostrophe crime, it's an abuse of the English language - literally. I think JDAW needs a new thread, called 'JDAW's syntax and grammar watch'. Or something.PhilW wrote:Not seeing the crime...?jdaw1 wrote:And the ‟seemingly” was so good.vinousmedia.com wrote:the 2010 literally explodes from the glass with seemingly endless layers of fruit
I think this thread serves well enough for all language abuses; we don't need "oxymoron crimes", "spelling crimes" etc...djewesbury wrote:I think JDAW needs a new thread, called 'JDAW's syntax and grammar watch'. Or something.
Sometimes I wonder if.. No. Nothing.jdaw1 wrote:Literally, or metaphorically?
Hmm. Perhaps not a crime exactly, but I'm reprimanding myself for comma over-enthusiasm. Indeed now I think about it, I absolve myself and blame JDAW for giving me a dose of the commas (and also for the fact that I'm thinking about circles, squares and octagons when I should be doing company accounts!).PhilW wrote:At auction last year a pair of bottles of 1900 Constantino Colheita went for £420 hammer, of which the seller would have received about £350, so about £175/bottle. I believe these were in very good condition with good fill levels and no capsule damage, if I remember correctly. Depending on condition and storage of your bottles, I would suggest that you might therefore expect to get up to around £160/bottle in a private sale, which is fairly close to Glenn's estimate also.
