Maybe so (I also have the same degree as yourself although probably a few
less burns). The problem is, one can often see one's own mistakes in those
posts which can result in a reluctance to contribute, so as not to advertise
one's own fallibilities.
To be pedantic about the use of an apostrophe or two seems, to me, to
indicate a case of "get a life" more than "intellectuals only please". At
least I hope so.
Perhaps we should have an entrance examination before joining?
