Can someone clarify what is the minimum educational level required to post in this thread?

Hey, I've got an MA. With DISTINCTION. Am I overqualified? Or will I be allowed in if I try really hard to ignore it?

Aw, I thought I was precious. :(

Now I have to go off and question my preciousness.

Oh, but you are! Question not!

You're just precious with 0% of the implied sarcasm in my earlier post.

(Snottiness is such a delicate art when I don't use the quote function, and fail to sprinkle in the appropriate emoticons.)

You're the top half of the bell curve covering for those of us still working on our undergrad (in engineering, not english, but the first three letters are the same, so I'm counting it).

I think we'd have to apply a handicap, Old Hack. You have to type with one hand tied behind your back and must use the word "chagrin" at least once in every post.

I dunno; my official I.Q. is 42, so . . .

And honestly, if I were all that smart, why would I need so much schooling, hmm?

I don't have an English degree either. But I am English so I don't need one to be a grammar pedant :D

Much to my chagrin, I often have to type with just one hand because I'm too busy lifting my glass with the other.

[How was that?]

I'm going to sit and stare jealously for a moment. :tongue Going nuts waiting for my masters results to drop through the letterbox.

Well, it's better than other possible reasons to be typing one handed on the internets.

According to post #51, we must all be married, female English professors who eschew the use of caps. Everybody else, out of the pool!

Can we sit on the pool edge and dangle our toes in the water?

Sorry, I only have my AA in English. Course, I have just started my Master of English candidacy.

I'm guessing spending the last twelve years as a Technical Writer doesn't really stand out among this august crowd. I'll just sit in the corner over here and stare at my print on demand, self-published books.

^ But you neglected to finish the above sentence with the required punctuation.

A whap of the Official Evil Nun Ruler to your knuckles!
Hey! I punctuated with a smile. :D

That's a 9.5 from me!
