I think we have all done stuff like that Boonie. We do occasionally end up posting after a few and our brains are probably not at their best.

I remember I once subbed the word 'lager' for 'ale'. Made the post very confusing

Been there....Unfortunately that post was rushed, not beer induced.

.....Well Chris what happens is we have a few beers and then...oh hang on, is that a rhetorical question ....geez I hope the grammar nazi's think that the reply is correct

the plural of "nazi" does not need an apostrophe

...thanks KEG......bastard

Put it in word doc and hit f7 for both nazi's and nazis and it tells me both are correct.

Funny my dictionary tells me they are both wrong...

Though both CAN be right...

I am not, and never have been, a grammar Nazi.
However, I like my spelling to be correct, and am a fully certified and signed up member of the Beer Spelling Gestapo.
Look out mannen, we haf vays of makink you spel correklty. Spelling Uber Alles. Sieg Spell !!!!

Kev and Boonie, it all comes down to context

Well actually, I believe it must be spelt with a capital 'N' to be correct in either context, but now I am just being picky!

that's only if you have respect for them

Both nazi's and nazis can be correct [lower case version intentional] but the first of course would be used to denote something that belonged to a nazi, while the second is more than one nazi

That's how my teacher taught me and I still managed to get it wrong.

Goes hand in hand really.......

Are you REALLY a bank manager?
It`s just that there`s so many things about your persona that to me don`t meld with the image of a man saddled with so much responsibilty
No offence, just something I`ve wondered about in the idle hours

Yes I am. I have been a BM for 2 banks........

I am not the old decrepid cranky ass BM who sits in an office reading the paper. We are the new younger breed who actually have a pulse.
I was a BM by age 30, after 14 years in banking.

How about this? I know of a Financial Planner, who is extremely well respected, who also is a Home Brewer. Next is a senior writer for a major paper who also is a Home Brewer. I worked with the Planner for a couple of years and neither of us ever mentioned it whilst at work.

Not until I left the bank that it became apparent that we shared the same interest....go figure. I just would never have picked him for a Home Brewer. Basically what I am trying to say is that you would be surprised who brews....we come from all walks of life.

My persona....mmmm...in what way ryan? Would you like me to be a blunt and to the point like my old bosses?

Cheers

Boonie

No.

So seeing we`re old mates, I`d be right for 2 or 3 grand just to see me through till the weather breaks?
