"PN"?

Re: The left/right Survey (4.00 / 11)

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 ;-)

Re: The left/right Survey (4.00 / 4)

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.

Re: The left/right Survey (4.00 / 2)

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.

'He of the sweeping statements' of whom it has been written that his imprecision with the brush exceeds that of Boy George on community service.
