The Pedants' Society

The Pedants' Society

Custodians, since 1847, of the apostrophe; the semicolon; the subjunctive; and of certain other small matters not adequately attended to by the world at large.

The Society maintains a Register of Fellows, conducts an irregular correspondence with the press, and admits new Fellows by application. It does not, as a rule, explain itself.

The Register

The complete Roll of Fellows is maintained publicly. The Society also maintains a separate page for those struck off, on the principle that the cautionary value of the Register is bound up with the visibility of its consequences.
