Thread Name: BS: Language Pet Peeves
Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
Hmm. A person in another thread (Rain Dog shall remain nameless), in what was ostensibly an attempt to take the mickey out of me, typed this: "D..... did post a couple of jokes, albeit you might not have found them funny..."

Well if you insist on using the nonsensical word "albeit" (it's a free country and you have every right), then at least use it correctly. The construction quoted above is completely ungrammatical. There's nothing more delicious in life that wannabe pretentious types misusing their pretentious words...
