Well I'm not meaning to cause arguments and spoil your thread or be petty and I'm very sorry if I've come across that way.

I can see what you mean but surely if a person was referring to male pet shop employees then they wouldn't use capital letters, they would say 'the pet shop boys' and not the/The Pet Shop Boys?

Just saying!

I too am sorry my thread isn't popular but that's because it's in this forum and not many people come here.
Gleeky never used capital letters?

I am not even going to entertain this anymore Retro

Plenty of posters still use this thread so chatter can't be that off putting

KK!



Well it wouldn't have made much sense to me, you knew what Gleek meant and it's not like she capitalised 'the' and therefore was using it as part of a sentence, not the name the duo. I knew who they were but did I get into a hissy fit over it? No.

Like Lea says I think you're being childish and it's unnecessary. I noticed you posted in your chill thread the other day as well and was still having a little dig.



Good post. It's obvious that it was picked up on to cause an argument.
Look I'm not meaning to come across as petty and childish I was just pointing something out!

As for having a dig at people in my thread I was just meaning that it was a shame that no one would join in and it would have been nice if people did but as a rule no one does.

I would love it if they'd explored Milton being Mrs Fanshaw's long lost father. Could've been the perfect return storyline for Mrs Fanshaw.

I think Mrs Fanshaw fan club had a secret meaning and you were all after Sylvia in a Granville type way 😀

The thing is, it did come off in a nasty way to me, hence why I reacted the way I did. I used 'the' because there are more than one of them, 'boys' plural. You may wonder why I am continuing to argue this with you even though I know it doesn't matter, and the reason is that I can be just as pedantic as you are.
Well I'm sorry if I came across as nasty!

John Green is an author of young-adult books, ones you might have heard of (because they were made into films) are The Fault In Our Stars (which I was quoting) and Paper Towns. They can be summed up by: girl meets boy, they contemplate some philosophical sh*t, girl dies/boy dies/they both die, the end, we are emotional wrecks for a week. Now in 3-D!

I go away for one afternoon and the thread turns into a warzone!

Just to clear stuff up, because the duo is Pet Shop Boys, it would have a 'the' if you were quoting them. If the duo was called 'Pet Shop', it'd simply be "in the words of Pet Shop".

This is what we've come to, a whole discussion made out of an offhand comment referencing a Pet Shop Boys song (and it doesn't need a 'the' with this sentence structure )

Ahh I see, thought it might have been a singer

Aw that's okay It does sound like a singer name. Sorry if I spoiled the ending, it just tends to be the format for his books

and yet we always come back for more
