Lesson over.
I meant proper noun (my bad)
I looked up the whole used as a title part and I stand corrected the author of the thread was correct. Turns out I have been doing that wrong for years and spell check does not catch that.
Just goes to show that we could all use some refreshers on the English language from time to time, Or is it Thyme W?
