*Language sergeant Laura back at it*

Actually Jim...
-no comma after nothing
-'You've' is spelt with a lower-case letter, even if there'd be a comma
-and it's not 'you've', it's 'you haven't', a short form of 'you have not' which I'm sure you are aware of.

So correctly:
Nothing you haven't already told her twice. NOT *Nothing, you've already told her twice. (asterisk '*' is used in front of a grammatically incorrect sentence to indicate the grammatical incorrectness)

And I used the writing u since it's an informal board, and none of us need to use formal language.

So in this case you didn't know. But it's quite fine, you're a native speaker, the advantage of being a native speaker is that you always speak and write 'real English' even if it wouldn't be grammatically correct. Whereas us poor non-natives have to study all this and then pick on them at every chance we get! Nothing personal, I'd be happy to do this to anyone (and have done/will do)

Nothing u haven't already told her twice.

And the joke is very poor
So now we have 3 people on the language police? We have chief officer Tom, deputy Ice, and now we have Seargant Laura... LMAO

Ryan
*cough for attention*

I was the first and original language police, not Tom or Ice - they're just trying to follow in my footsteps, and correct what's left to correct. And keep my English clean too Which both of them are quite happy to do

Can't say I've heard of this word before - I'd consult a dictionary if I were you.

My incorrectness has been corrected

One should never act as a language police in a hurry or at work!
