Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Grammar pedants - help please.

Certainly, what? Even if it's a declaration inviting agreement, eh? A leading question's still a question, ye ken?

In the tidy world of a 1950s primary schools a question mark ended a sentence.

Solution: "Rive Erme crossing is a huge disappointment on account of its tameness, isn't it?

Or "Rive Erme crossing is a huge disappointment, isn't it? It's very tame".

On account of its tameness, River Erme crossing is a huge disappointment, isn't it?

It should be possible to punctuate anything that sounds ok when spoken.

OTOH when you look at the mess musical notation can get into while committing music to paper, maybe I shouldn't be so sure.

Got something to say?
