The Pedants' Society

Fellow No. 00551

Mrs Philippa Colquhoun

Admitted October 2008 · Assoc.

Invented the Society's parlour game, "Sic", in which Fellows pass a newspaper and may speak only to quote it. Games have lasted entire evenings; one, in 2017, ended a friendship and began a marriage.

Struck Off, April 2020. Reason: persistent use of 'decimate' to mean 'to destroy most of'.
