I always...Something to talk about at work perhaps?<br /><br />I always imagined it being at the top of the list of the Cornerhouse commandments given to new staff on joining (careful use there as the "the" is referring to the commandments and not Cornerhouse). Big bold letters:<br /><br />1. It shall be called Cornerhouse.<br />2. Cornerhouse does not take the definite article.<br />3. Official warnings will be given to staff using a "the".<br />4. Repeated use of the "the" may result in dismissal.<br />5. You shall make every effort to spread the word that the "the" is not to be used when referring to Cornerhouse.<br />...<br /><br />and so on.<br /><br />It wasn't like that then?Sapeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618541311233501974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-87943393330551532762010-09-09T05:51:51.307-07:002010-09-09T05:51:51.307-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Adrian Slatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946068316432524571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-74575131202130915652010-09-09T05:51:44.345-07:002010-09-09T05:51:44.345-07:00Ha ha.

You'll no doubt be getting a bit of ...Adrian, <br /><br />You'll no doubt be getting a bit of traffic now that Sam quoted you in his posts, so this might be a good place to spread the word about Cornerhouse. Not just that it is a good place to hang out, watch films, read, eat and take in some art, but also that Cornerhouse is just that: without the "the". If you check Cornerhouse's website you won't find a "the" prefixing the name anywhere. There are people who get themselves quite bent out of shape about this. I lean that way, but don't lose sleep over it.<br /><br />Looking forward to following the discussion.Sapeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618541311233501974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-30349364982406366282010-09-09T05:32:30.470-07:002010-09-09T05:32:30.470-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sapeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618541311233501974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-59979472646133414502010-09-09T02:06:15.169-07:002010-09-09T02:06:15.169-07:00And well done for at last getting through this sta...And well done for at last getting through this stage, to the book reading...Adrian Slatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946068316432524571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-19368287323781675292010-09-09T01:32:41.116-07:002010-09-09T01:32:41.116-07:00Thanks for this.
