What do you call someone who's an expert in grammar?
A cunning linguist?

That seems reasonable although I also don't know. I think the usage you describe would be correct in the context of the OP though.
What do you call someone who's an expert in grammar? Is it a lexicographer or does that just relate to vocabulary? Either way, do we have any?
Nothing about how you look, it's the northern accent.s'funny, but I am always being offered spare change. I didn't realise it was that obvious.....
A thread derailer?
What were you doing in a Shoreditch bar with bare legs and a group of Japanese veritable strangers (they can't know much about you if they don't know you cycle) admiring your body?I was sat in the BrewDog in Shoteditch just now, and I was sat with some Japanese people. One of them noticed ( unprompted ) my calves and quads, and asked how far I’d cycled. I hadn’t, but I had to doff the proverbial to him.
I try my best but keeping this forum afloat is a full-time job. Luckily I can output the equivalent of 10 people (which is equivalent to 100 northerners.....or half of Liverpool......or Scotland).If ever a thread needed derailing, it's this one.

I've just noticed a very obvious grammatical error in this post, but I'll leave it in to see if anybody pulls me up on it.
I know. It’s like when I get asked which modelling agency I work with
I thought it was past perfect and past imperfect?I think that's the past progressive rather than simply the past tense as the action is ongoing isn't it?
Past tense: I sat in the chair.
Past progressive: I was sitting in the chair.
