Grammer vs Grammar?

Ok, I'll bite. By heading your list of English pedantry userboxes with the incorrectly spelled "Grammer", are you making a deliberate attempt at irony? Or what? It is bugging me. LWG ^talk 01:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. ScottSteiner ✍ 01:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

[1]. You have a long list of grammatical errors you abhor, but you start it off by misspelling "grammar". -- LWG ^talk 02:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I still don't follow. ScottSteiner ✍ 02:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I guess I will just take that as a yes. -- LWG ^talk 02:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

BTTF - Repairing the connection

I thought this guy had found an error in the plot but you reverted his change saying that both Doc and Marty worked on repairing the disconnected cable. I don't see how this is possible since Marty was busy getting the time machine up to speed during that moment. -- Lyverbe (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
