    A single task (agendum) list is a rarity, hence agenda is most commonly used.
    The freeze-drying method is far more effective, but it's no laughing matter.

    Try reading it again. Or get someone to explain it to you.

    "List" is singular, innit?

    A rubber band works better, but Anusol is easier.

    I've read it again. It still says "A list of tasks is is bad English." Maybe you could edit it to save face. It's quite common practice on here.

    He wrote agenda is. Agenda is a plural. It means a list of tasks is. Is doesn't go with a plural. So,I was saying writhing "a list of tasks is"is bad English. Any six year olds around your way that you could get to explain this to you? Though I have used inverted commas to try and make it easier for you to fathom out.

    I know he's busy with his spelling and grammer but an answer would be nice

    Let him get on with his hobby.

    The Statler & Waldorf of Not606 appear a perfect match.

    Ah, you've learned how to use quotes? That's good.
    Here is/are a few more 'corrections' for you to deliberate over:
    Chazz's #162: "Also you have olms agenda which are to **** all over our club at every opportunity."
    Your #172: "I think I am I."
    My #217: "Collective SINGULAR". Gerrit?
    I have two lists: The first is a list of posters with good grammar; you're not on it. The second is a list of posters who think they have good grammar, but don't; you're on it.
    The end.

    If you two wish to continue the petty arguments over grammar and punctuation, please do so via PM, thanks.

    I think anyone trying to read it all now would run the risk of slipping into a comma, but don't quote me on that.
