Grammar Police
It is too bad that the Grammar Police have been banned from TubeNet. With the current crop of posts TubeNet has been harvesting, the Grammar Police would have a field day.

Re: Grammar Police
One popular phrase that has always bugged me is... "At this point in time".
"At this point" and "At this time" each mean the same thing. No need for both as it's redundant.
A lot of elected officials use the phrase wrong, but they're wrong most of the time anyway.
