Dear sometimesuk

Please can you correct the typo in the 'letter' then I may sign it. Yes, I'm that pedantic!

Yes, the 'Magna Carter' and 'Magma Carta' got absolutely nowhere and the 'Dill of Rights' got everyone in a right pickle.

Laugh all you want but 'lables' was preventing me from signing. So that's two of us. Who knows how many more. (I have abandoned all hope of ever getting people to realise that CD's is NOT the plural of CD) banging head against wall

Is that supposed to be a question?

No, a statement - as evidenced by the lack of question mark. I could have posed it as a question, but as it is obviously rhetorical, chose not to.

"This is a duck."

That's a statement. "Who knows how many more" is clearly a question, with or without the question mark.

RE: Petition for High Definition Music Downloads.

Yes, that is a statement. Who knows how many more becomes a question when written with a question mark. Any question without a question mark is not yet a question. Just as This is a duck? has now become a question. If you are happier with it being a question, consider it a question. I would still prefer to sign a petition where labels was written correctly. When it is, I will happily sign it.

A quack look every now and again does no harm...as long as he doesn't bill you for it.

Guys your humour puts this grumpy old git to shame. Sometimes I can't help myself as language matters to me. Not so much a question of ducks, more that I enjoy a good grouse. (Especially the kind that comes in a bottle)

Agreed, sign the petition and worry about the details later.

Jeepers, let me sign, let me sign. I dont want to read what Im signing and you can change it all later, but I will sign anyway. The contract is about the detail, ask for what you want and a little more as a bargaining chip.

Who reads the small print anyway, Doh!

 

it's just the principle that matters here, if we ask for 24/192 we might get 24/96.
