Does anyone know the series "The Thin Blue Line" starring Rowan Atkinson as police inspector Fowler??
In one episode he explains to his colleagues the meaning of their job: He talks about crime and says "It is our mission to seek it out..." upon which his rather imbecile colleague adds "To boldly go where no one has gone before!". Fowler tells him off "Don't split your infinitives..." but the other protests "Captain Kirk does!" Answer from Fowler "Captain Kirk regularly accepts people painted blue with plastic forehead extensions as beings from another planet. He should not be taken as any authority whatsoever."

Yes. "Definite" and "two", for starters.

Nice explaination cartman, aside from one thing... what is an infinitive?
Guessing from your post... things like to come, to go, to be, to look...??
In French usually end in er and sometimes ir and ur? And even more rarely 're'? Schools don't deal much with grammar anymore - I learnt more about the English language in French class!

Schools don't deal much with grammar anymore? You live in Australia, right?

True. Although I did briefly consider that it could have been deliberate. But then I looked at the appalling spelling mistakes that liter all of JASON'S other posts, and I came to the conclusion that he just isn't that subtle.

Awww...you read my posts? I'm touched, Liam. Really.
I did pay extra attention to spelling the mis-spelled words that way to ensure the joke's effect.
I thought it was obvious though.

The fact that I intentionally used all of the mis-spelled words MrNeutron was complaining about was really enough.

I had long ago forgotten that post. It was in the distant past, before the time of "I'm 26 next year". Scary.

Well, it was about time they started doing that, wasn't it?
