   Challenge:
   “Through the anechoic” was the original working title for David Frost’s “Through the Keyhole”.

    Is that a proper turn, Chris, or are you just making a smart-alec comment?
11. Bob O'Hara says:

    Well, whatever, Chris is wrong – it was “Through the archaic”, which was considered modern back then.
    I think this means Chris is in knip, but I can’t be bothered to work out who’s turn is it, so, anyone?

    Can’t be in knip unless we are using Lipman’s rules, so:

    Henry, it’s your fault for confusing us with these complicated long words. I vote that you miss the next two turns.
31. Henry Gee says:

    28 April 2008 at 21:29

    It’s an adverb. Get over it. To have followed it with a genitive pronoun was just weird.

    Yeah, Graham.

    Oh dear, I should have known this would happen with you lot. So let’s ignore the comma (most of us don’t care anyway) and continue with

    Yep, the comma is open to debate so did not put one in in the interests of “moving things along” (mistakenly, inevitably). In fact I thought the hyphen might cause a bit of a stir (wrongly, again). Lynn Truss is worth reading on proofreaders and the comma (in Eats, Shoots, and Leaves) – and they are the professionals and can’t agree.

    AArgh – Brian’s “in” arrived while my “but” was in the works. Nonsensical result! What happens now?
