This combines several of my interests: women in uniform, proper grammar, and correcting other peoples' grammar.

"when the grammar police inevitably gets corrupted?"
"Police" is normally a plural noun, but "gets" is third person singular. Hence - oh damn, I just outed myself, didn't I?

@Gogs All right, against the wall.
(later) Internal Affairs wants to speak to me about my use of fragments? Oh good, because I've been wanting to introduce them to a little thing called IDIOM.
