Fairly open topic: tell us what you think about marriage proposals.
How would you like to be proposed to? How have you proposed in the past? What are the worst ways to propose?
Ideal locations? In a crowd (strangers or friends/family) or in private? Four simple words or a love poem? On bended knee?
Should women propose to men? Should there always be a ring? Thoughts on seeking the father's permission first?
Well, what do you think?

One of my friends would probably have a field day in this thread - he is a notorious pedant and self-proclaimed 'Grammar Nazi'. I'll pick out two which I know really get up his nose:
When people refer to the flag of the UK as the Union 'Jack' when, in fact, it is simply called the Union Flag. Apparently, this is only correct when it is on the front of a naval ship or something like that. He never lets it slide.
General misuse and misunderstanding of the idiom 'to beg the question'. He often tries to catch us out with that one.
I have another of my own: 'alot' is not a word, it's two words.

"Orientated" (They mean oriented)
I'll give you the others, but not this. In Britain, the two are often used interchangeably. (I do agree, however, that it 'sounds' wrong and seems somewhat clumsy.)
I found a few sources, but here are two:

What about zero sum game. I hear news analists say it.
Isn't it zero sum gain?
No, I'm pretty sure it's zero sum game, which is a term in Game Theory. I've been wrong before...
Without having read through this entire thread, I'm going to add two that might have been said:
'All of the sudden' should be, obviously, 'All of a sudden'.
'should of', 'could of', etc. The word should be 'have'.

Neither. A woman on her period certainly doesn't 'turn me on' but nor does it repulse me. It's natural, not gross.
Now, if you're talking about having sex during a woman's time of the month (which is a thread already, I believe) then I can't comment, because I've never experienced it.

These are both things I'd be up for taking a stab at myself and posting in the writers resources section, if anyone would be interested.
I'd be interested. The more help and advice available to writers here, the better quality the writing will be (in theory). Both the topics you suggested (and your examples) are things I am increasingly conscious of as I am developing my writing.
I look forward to your posts, if you decide to do them.

Hmm... I'd have to take this opportunity to gather some of the mathematical minds I admire the most (assuming they could all speak English):
Leonhard Euler.
Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Euclid.
Augustin-Louis Cauchy.
Pierre de Fermat.
David Hilbert.
It would have to be coffee and cake and the discussion wouldn't have to be entirely mathematical, although it would probably lean that way.
I didn't use up the entire 7 spaces allocated, as I would also like to meet Nichiren Daishonin to chant with him. This would be at a separate time from the maths party, if that is permissible.

I love Fruit Pastilles, especially green ones. I could munch on them all day long. I'm eating a packet right now.
Peanuts are another indulgence of mine. Once I start eating them, I find it hard to stop.

Thanks Clum, I would find no need to learn a language that is rarely used anymore but I appreciate the advice.
I agree, to an extent. One of my friends studies Classics at university and we're always ripping on her for wasting her time on dead languages. I just meant that, from the point of view of learning new languages, a good grounding in Latin would probably stand you in good stead.
I wouldn't go out of my way to learn Latin now, but I sometimes wish it had been compulsory at school, as it was once upon a time.
