I agree this is arbitrary. None of these choices were ones that had popped into my mind when I saw the thread. I guess posting a lot = spirit or something. I was thinking more like GRM who is truly spirited for obvious reasons. E ticket because of the wonderful posts that clearly take a lot of time and effort which shows spirit to me.

The earliest citation given in the Oxford English Dictionary for any word used as a name for this element is alumium, which British chemist and inventor Humphry Davy employed in 1808 for the metal he was trying to isolate electrolytically from the mineral alumina. The citation is from his journal Philosophical Transactions: “Had I been so fortunate as..to have procured the metallic substances I was in search of, I should have proposed for them the names of silicium, alumium, zirconium, and glucium.”
By 1812, Davy had settled on aluminum. He wrote in the journal Chemical Philosophy: “As yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state.” But the same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, “for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound.”

It’s probably the case now, but until no long ago America had waaaay more immigrants than the UK, so it’s natural that American English changed more.

I don’t remember saying that, but I do agree with it.
However, most if not all American style-guides don’t like the question mark inside of a quote. They love commas and periods being in there. And probably semi-colons. I forget what they have to say about exclamation points.
It’s a messy “standard” but it does make the effort to correct for some of the more bewildering punctuation problems that inside-the-quotes punctuation creates.

There’s nothing British about my English, by the way. I do use the Present Perfect tense a lot, which is apparently considered Britishy, but that’s it. Oh, and the serial comma, because it’s good for you. My accent is definitely American.
My private teacher was actually from New Zealand, now that I think about it. Wait, maybe Australia. School teachers were mostly from Brooklyn, except for one awesome dude from South Africa.

What does this award mean?
I think it was oringally called “Spirit Award” as opposed to “Spirited” (“Spirited” sounds like it might mean the vigor with which one argues.)
In my mind, the winner should be the nominee who makes the biggest difference in making McC an awesome place to be. All of these nominees certainly are a big part of making McC awesome, but Natto goes above and beyond.
He’s kind of a dick, but I’m going to vote for him anyway.
