Clearly you haven't read Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. The correct tense is the Present Ultraconditional Subinverted Semi-active Past Subjunctive Deponent Aorist. So he willon on-have scrod it up.

HTH.

If you're going to have given people grammar advice, at least have done it correctly: you're using the the present ultraconditional subinverted sem-active past subjunctive deponent aorist, so that should have been "scrodding".

I may have missed something, but you grammar nazis are getting more and more difficult to understand.

Give him a break. He's obviously using the 2011 Revised Edition of Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formation, back-published in 2090. The rules for deponent verbs were changed in the 2010 Third Revisionist Edition, which had willn't have beent back-publishent until 2071.

I understand that the rules for declension will have beent back-revised in the 2010 1/2 Fourth Revisionist Edition (Twice Removed), due for publication in a year that I can't yet mention, as the Unicode character set legally required by the "Second Enhanced Pan-Euro Metrification of Year Descriptors" has not yet beent post-back-ratifiedent in the current timestream. I shall have been gotting back to you sometime last week on that issue, which should clear things up a treat.

This has got to be an all-time classic. I know I've quoted several comments here, but most of the comments after it are also very funny, including a whole new thread about a chick loving it so much she invited the nerd over for a backrub.
