    I think all of us pedants can learn a thing or two from this; including me. Sforzato in particular should appreciate it. Enjoy.

    That was brilliant. Stephen Fry has quite the extensive general knowledge of things, culture-wise.

    I think this will teach us a thing or two before going all "Grammar Nazi" on someone's ass.

    I've always thought I was a necklace. Interesting video nonetheless.

    Oh, I remember this. It was in the English part of my entrance exam. Stephen Fry is so awesome.

    I admit, this changes the ways I view things a bit with words now, and methinks it's high time to pursue a better love of words.

    I enjoyed this.

    The BBC dot always produce tons of ****. Some are right lovely.

    I've been told I look and talk like him. I find that offensive, I'm no 50 year old bookworm. I am a Neanderthal!
