P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes). You should always sign talk pages (also called "discussion" pages), but not articles.
[edit] Comment
See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style for my comment there.
Digressingly I wonder how you can claim to be a grammar nazi, when you said of yourself:
not being sufficiently expert in grammar
- My claim to being a "grammar nazi" is one of attitude, not one of expertise. It would be foolish of me to claim that I know everything about grammar there is to know, and this does not interfere with my conviction that where a rule of grammar exists, it should be followed. I'm not so proud that I can't admit when I'm ignorant — how else would I learn? Direvus 16:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
