Bless dear Hildegarde.  She was a migraine sufferer (like me).   That is stated in every biography and they think that this was the cause of her visions etc.  I've never seen any celestial visions I should hasten to add.   

Yes I thought it must be tongue-in-cheek.  Ascetics probably weren't fed enough to be anything other than very under-weight.  She lived a very long time considering the harsh regime under which she existed.  All that and the headache from hell too!   

Here a mighty symphonist to omit whom it would not do:

Maybe it's my living in Germany that makes that sentence seem to me something quite normal...

Still, that it would not to do omit Krzysztof Penderecki from consideration is surely reasonably clearly at what Member Grew is getting? Although considering his efforts on the Schostakowitsch front perhaps one should be grateful that he didn't attempt to spell Krzysztof...

I think Baziron may have omitted the heading:

Today's Spot the (missing) comma competition

Indeed - a comma would make it quite regular no?! But then we have noted before Mr Grew's curious stubborn and we might even say characterful abstinence from the comma have we not.

I think it should be "don't leave 'im aht"

Two children of a close friend of mine had money willed to them (quite a lot!), but they lost exactly one-third of the amount expected because the person who drafted the will inserted a single comma!!!!!

The situation was as follows: "I hereby bequeath X-thousands pound to be shared between the children of A, and B".

Now because at the time of draughting only son/daughter A had children, and also at the time of the person's death son/daughter B still did not have any children, the silly presence of this damned comma allowed son/daughter B to challenge the will in a court of law, and actually WIN for himself/herself a third of the money that was intended only to be left to the children of this generation. The consequence was that each "legitimate" child inheritor received only one-third of the amount, while the remaining third was awarded to their uncle/aunt (just because of a damned comma in the will).
