   Hope fades as 8pt Trebuchet demand from captors is mistaken by negotiators for new house rule and ignored until deadline has passed. Mutilation threat is carried out and three 'certain' FPs are posted as tickers.

   The situation worsens. The links have separated into three distinct factions: Writers' Room (the official wing, located in NewsBiscuit Home; Writer's Room (the enthusiastic but careless wing) situated in Forum; and Writers Room (the what who me wing) situated in Chat. We go back now to our reporter in the Forum: Rikkor, how does it look from where you're standing? Do you think there's an outside chance the aid workers might be able to move that apostrophe just one more space to the right before the end of the month?

   The inconsistencies go deeper than the mere positioning of the apostrophe. They may even be institutionalised. On a railway station, do we see the Waiters' Room? No. Is it the Wait Room? No. Suppose it is a restaurant, not a railway station: do those awaiting a table wait in the Waiters' Room? No. The sign on the door clearly says 'staff only'.

   Chatterers' Room? Chatting Room? But these are virtual rooms and 'chat' is done in writing. So, Writing Room won't do. Write Room?

   But it's not a room. We need some easy furniture, a decent sound system, a 50" OLED telly. And crisps.
