Careful Ray
The title reads Insufferable. Don't meddle over your perseverance ability.

Suppose a few pints of John's warm ale will fix that

Well - You have warned me, Richard, but too late for the broadside it seems - I really must put my brain in gear before I open my mouth!
I used to represent my department on EMC problems every two months - one of the external members was an insufferable pedant - the first hour of any meeting was taken by him crossing t’s and dotting i’s from the minutes of the previous meeting. What made this performance even more insufferable was the fact that he was not even English, which made the other participants look a little bit - eeer - lacking in a grasp of our native language .
The banter and comments among the groans generated a few laughs.

Grammatical pedants make puns at a higher rate than average. Run that brain cell through another click.
I’ll run the brain cell again later - I‘ve used my click allocation for this week.
A friend of mine was embarking on a French language degree course - he was told that he must study and understand his own language first.
