    Pedants must have 6 legs to stand on ? More chances of putting a foot in their mouth.
    They always soldier on however.

    Is that deliberate? I assume it is.

    The possessive of it (its) is an unfair trick really. Why shouldn't the word have an apostrophe? I can understand why people get that one wrong. Also if you correctly leave out the apostrophe a spell checker often puts it back in.

    Why are they called "non-league" teams, when they are in a league?

    <laugh> It was a tongue in cheek question, but the so called non-league teams are part of the same league pyramid as the Prem.

    The right answer is 'cos they are. <ok>

    Why is someone who owns or runs a restaurant called a restaurater and not a restauranter?
