"PN"?

It comes from the acronym of a Finnish phrase meaning to have carnal knowledge of punctuation, and by extension, meaning quibbling about details. You know how ET is.

We have had a Grand Vizier of PN for 2 years or more - but since the award is self-selecting, I am not sure who it is at the moment. Ted, probably. It also melded somehow into the Rite of the Caol Ila, or the Order of the Golden Peat. I've never attended a seance, but I understand a scale model of the Eiffel Tower plays a part in the ceremony, though I've no idea where they put it ;-)

Ah, thanks.  I'd seen "PN" tossed around here and there in the past, but I'd never bothered to find out the meaning.  Cheers.

But an obfuscatory response from one who is in fact (and always has been) the leader of the Ancient and Awesomely Precise Order of the PN, Grand Vizier Triloqvist himself.

One thing is clear: you are decidedly not left handed :-)

By definition, polls are skewed [particularly local ones], but perhaps all the more so when the polled are poor, neglected minorities <sniff>, who suffer from discriminatory right-hand scissor, vegetable peeler, oppressive public pen, policies, and other. And that's just a short list.

Ever watched a lefty trying to negotiate an underground turnstyle designed for right handers? It's even more fun when they're loaded with baggage or packages ;-)

Why not hang on and see what happens, before questioning the poll and its results.

Could turn out to be a fun party. I'll see what I can do.

Yes to all, but have you ever watched a left-handed fencer (foils) having extreme fun with an inexperienced righty?  The only thing funnier is watching two inexperienced lefties going at it.

Left-handedness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Left-handedness and intelligence

In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[36] Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centers of the brain.

McManus also says that the increase in the 20th century of people identifying as left-handed could produce a corresponding intellectual advance and a leap in the number of mathematical, sporting, or artistic geniuses.

In 2006, researchers at Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University in a study found that left-handed men are 15 percent richer than right-handed men for those who attended college, and 26 percent richer if they graduated. The wage difference is still unexplainable and does not appear to apply to women.[37]
