So over the past six months or so, I've betad shinyopals's DW fic and blithely pointed out every time she had the Doctor say "There's [something plural]", on the theory that the Doctor would be correct, dammit! He's even canonically corrected someone else's spoken grammar!

Now she tells me that in New Earth, he said "There is ten million people".

You have failed me, Doctor! Now I have to curl into a ball somewhere and mourn.

BAD GRAMMAR IS FOREVER

JUST LIKE THE DOCTOR AND ROSE

LOOK MA NO PUNCTUATION

DO YOU REALLY WANT THE DOCTOR AND ROSE ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING THAT IS BAD?

PUNCTUATION MISSES YOU.

THE DOCTOR AND ROSE LOVE BAD GRAMMAR YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES

AND IF PUNCTUATION MISSED ME THAT MUCH IT WOULD BUY ME FLOWERS AND CAKE AND APOLOGISE FOR BEING ANNOYING

THE DOCTOR AND ROSE ARE SMILING AT AVOIDING THE BAD. THEY DO NOT WANT THE BAD.

YOU JUST DON'T APPRECIATE PUNCTUATION PROPERLY.

THE DOCTOR AND ROSE LOVE BAD GRAMMAR THEY LOVE IT SO VERY MUCH THEY BOTH USE IT ALL THE TIME AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

AND PUNCTUATION DOESNT APPRECIATE ME

MY WRITING IS ART

YOU ARE TRYING TO TORMENT ME. OH, MY POOR COMMAS AND APOSTOPHES AND FULL STOPS. DON'T WORRY. I CARE ABOUT MAKING SENSE.

THE DOCTOR AND ROSE ALSO CARE ABOUT MAKING SENSE. THEY DON'T WANT THEIR MEANING TO BE OBSCURED THROUGH BAD GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION.

PUNCTUATION MIGHT LIKE YOU BETTER IF YOU WERE NICER TO IT.
