I fear that the internet marks the death knell of English grammar. Luckily both my grammers died decades ago.

Actually the comma after computers is optional. The apostrophe before "m", on the other hand, is compulsary.I fear that the internet marks the death knell of English grammar. Luckily both my grammers died decades ago.

Yeah, slugthog, I know it is not strictly necessary, but you will find it in most newer books nowadays (at least the ones I read lol) and I always try to use it. As far as I can tell it is an up-and-coming grammar rule.
Another thing thoggy, nice job spelling apostrophe and pedagogue, but it does not impress me that you simultaneously misspelled (not "mispelled" which is how drew spelled it) "grammers" grammars and "compulsary" compulsory.
Here is a challenge for all of you: who WITHOUT CHECKING THE WEB knows what an octothorpe is?

Octothorpe -> #
Whereas star " * " among aged computeers (this may be the first instance of this particular construction, mark it on your calendar) is often called "splat". The Illuminati refer to it as a Nathan Hale as in, "My only regret is that I have but one life to give -e.g. 'ass to risk'- for my country"
If you look closely you will notice that I spelled grammar "grammar" when a grammatical reference and "grammer" when a geneological reference. Both correct, I believe, since "grammer" is colloquial and spelling rules are often relaxed in the case of colloquialisms.
As for "compulsory", my bad. If I can locate an unbroken Crayon (tm) I'll write it fifty times on the padded walls of my cell.
Regarding your penultimate paragraph, I also read upsidedown and backwards. At one time in my long life I was a proofer (colloq).
All in good jest and whimsy.
