Not to appear too anal but in the context of hanged and hung, it's grammar.

That may be so, but the original context was spelling. As for hanged and hung, it's usage rather than pure grammar. But you are correct, nonetheless, and I do know better. Mea Culpa.

"Mea culpa". The "c" is small because "culpa" does not need capitalisation. It is not a proper noun or the first word after a full stop, etc.

Happy to help.

So am I.

Doing the Dalveen and Mennock passes on Saturday, staying with friends in Auchterarder that night, then heading north on Sunday via the A93/A939.
It is possible that our paths might cross later on. What will you be driving?

I'll be driving up to Inveraray on Monday and I shall be in the TVR for the trip.



What will you be driving? I'll keep an eye out for it.

While all very droll
Your antics are distracting
It's all semantics

Full stops at the end of each complete sentence please.

Over and out.

Haikus allow punctuation to be at the author's discretion so it was technically correct. The best kind of correct!

However I had forgotten to capitalise TVR in the post above.

Knocked up a video of our trip.

It's out, not over and out. Over is inviting a reply so "Over and out" is a contradiction......

All I see is perfect spelling and grammar. Quality of content is secondary.

I wouldn't start expecting factually correct posts on PH. That would set an unrealistic precedent.

In an attempt to stop the grammar conversation, here's a Highland road... or two.

And just to keep the peace ........
