Woah, J, it's alright.
There's no need to be overly anti-really cool member. "Die asshole" is a little harsh. I seem to remember getting annoyed with a lot of newbies (including but not limited to Dupin and Pester) who turned out to be really cool people. Please... I know this Beatrice thread is a terrible cliché, and the spelling isn't brilliant, but he never insulted you personally, and you ARE being a little harsh.

Yes, grammar is good. A little advice, PolterGoose:
1. To make typos is human. To fix them is divine or at least helpful.
2. Put some effort into good grammar. If your post would give Aunt Josephine fits(without mentioning realtors) revise it a little.
3. I get the impression that Lemony wants his fans to post like smart people, and sound intelligent. He does try to educate us.

...If I recall correctly, the name of the theater the play is performed in is an anagram of "Red Herring." So, it's possible that Lemony put it there just to make us think that Beatrice is the Baudelaire's mom, but it's really a fake clue.

People keep making the same mistakes... Swans has always pointed this out... A red herring IS NOT A FAKE CLUE... A RED HERRING IS INFORMATION TO DISTRACT THE READER FROM A MORE IMPORTANT DETAIL OR ISSUE.

...The point being, what people think is the main clue, isn't. Either way, it means the detail pointed out isn't necessarily what it seems.
...sheesh, I make one mistake, and people spaz out at me... sorry... *angst* ...and for the record, I personally have never seen this corrected by Swans (not that I don't believe it's happened, just that I haven't been able to have my thinking/wording corrected before)... *goes back to angsting*

I just pointed it out for everyone to know, I'm sorry if it seemed a bit rude.
