I'd be useless in this party,I thought comma's were for thick poor grammer commoners like me .
Perish the thought that we'd try to use our language effectively.
From a post by soulsurfer3 at 20.34 last night;-
"I am pleased to learn this antiquity makes a regular cock of himself.
Very due to ongoing hopefully unacceptable equal too many "I"s yourself lot got speculate invest (in schools etc) no longer fit for purpose I am pleased to learn meet with ascertain disappointment I note/understand your concerns
According to the Guardian, the official transcript of parliamentary proceedings, Hansard, recorded more than 700 instances of Mr Rees-Mogg using one or other of the banned words or phrases."
He’s a very dangerous man. He’s as far right wing as you can get, he’s anti women’s rights and gay rights.
All in all a bloody freak. And, anyone who dresses his son the same as him is off their rocker, poor kid.

Out of interest do you have a title we should be using when talking to you on this board?
Something like Grand Wizard Of The Alt-Right Black Ops Division (Cardiff Chapter)?
Clearly as an admirer of Jacob Rees-Mogg you will be keen to avoid being the subject of accidental disrespect.
Bit over the top , bit of a Trump like outburst.
Do not think WB or RB are supporting the loon, in a
political sense.
The post is a about the use of correct grammar elucation.
Mad Mogg feels the English language has been downgraded over the years, hey he may have a point ,when listening to folk these days.
(Wasn't there a post about this recently, sharing irritating examples of modern speak ? )
It doesnt make one right wing to think about the correct use and appropriate gramner /elecution, surely it is associated to education .
Or is the use of correct grammar / elocution, or speaking correctly , now considered right wing by its nature use (Init ,gorra worry )
Wish I had the skill to deliver better communication and grammar , should have better used my educational opportunities as a child .
Most Ministers have their preferred written style guide when they come into office, though Rees-Mogg's is probably at the extreme end and probably gives an insight into his character. The only equivalent I can recall in my former life was Owen Patterson (spookily also a Brexit hardliner) who had the same hatred of the Oxford comma that Rees-Moss esq. seems to display. Still, the badgers did for Owen pretty quickly so one can only hope a similar fate awaits the Right Honourable Gentleman for the 19th Century Workhouse!
I wonder if he wants bellend hyphenated?
Rees-Mogg's future diktats could include:
Referring to footwear as spats
The use of brilliantine instead of modern hair products
Using dubbin on one's boots
Having a mid-morning spot of tiffin
Starching collars being brought back
The return of cardigans (and with the leather buttons that looked like old-fashioned footballs)
Whalebone corsets being obligatory
Socks with suspenders being de rigeur
Belts to be replaced with braces
Smoking jackets to be worn in Cabinet
Cigarettes only to be smoked in long holders
The new prime minister to be transported from No.10 to Westminster in a sedan chair
Velvet dressing gowns to be worn in late-night parliamentary session
Nanny to put one to bed each evening.

I think I am one of the biggest critics of the Guardian and its' campaign against Corbyn (using Brexit or anti-semitism as alternate weapons of choice). But I am happy to read it online every day (not uncritically of course) and to link to stories or pieces it carries. It is what it is, and sometimes it is interesting or informative.
