Anybody got any emotions?

anyione can make the odd typo - cannot of course!

I canno believe you think I deliberately spelled your nickname wrong did you? I am very sorry, but heavens above! I still make no apology for my opinions on grammar and correct vocabulary. Maybe time to give it all a rest.

annodomini thanks i am staying

Don't you dare to leave us, london! Your input is as valuable as anyone else's. OK?

cheelu your not the only one pulled up for grammer and it did make me think about leaving but hi ho who cares not me now x

Xd posts, anno!

Cheelu, I do hope you don't mean you're leaving Gransnet completely.
I'm sure gracesmum didn't mean to be deliberately unkind, but it may have come across that way. You don't need an English degree (or any other!) to be a valuable member of Gransnet.

Cheelu, I'm as pedantic as they come and was the kind of kid who actually enjoyed grammar and spelling. It won't come as a surprise to you that I ended up as an English teacher. However, I also know that other people have different talents and I know that you have made some very profound and valuable comments on other threads and that you are just as much part of G'net as any of us pedants.

Dear gracemum you pull me up on my Grammer then spell my username wrong!!!! I dont like were these conversations are heading because its looking alot like a playground to me, so I will gracefully pull out.. and I think we should agree to dis agree..

Personally...I`d go for lust Grana

To go back to your comment CEELU, No, I don't think correct grammar, vocabulary or spelling make anybody a better person, but like any other skill, whether driving or cooking, I see nothing wrong with trying to get it right. Accurate communication can also depend on the use of the right word or (sharp intake of breath)even the correct use of comma. One real-life and tragic example of the former was the victimisation a few years ago of a paediatrician in her home, because some people did not know the difference between paediatrician and paedophile. While at a more frivolous level we all know the "joke" about "Let's eat grandma" and "Let's eat, Grandma".

Oops I think that misfired. Sorry CEELU wasn't meaning to be rude. just seemed so funny in the context So now I will take myself off to pedants' corner
(Was the comment to gracenanactually meant for me, or am I replying to somebody else's question?)

I believe that actual comments are far more important than if someone has used the correct Grammer or not...... I don't think being able to spell correctly makes you a better individual. My Father was the kindest nicest person you could ever wish to meet and he was illiterate, what nonsense to think that Grammer maketh the Man or Women.

Er, yes, I realised that, Jess. Mine was supposed to be, too.

Joke ana as in

Hmm, should have previewed that post. One too many 'actuallys' I think!

People don't actually get sent there. They actually choose to go there...

In another recent post. I had to resort to looking up the word embarrassed to check which were double consonants. I so don't get; (go for me on that expression, pedants!) double consonants.

I would not want the shame of having my name mentioned on a pedants corner thread.

Best place for some of them too!!

Wey thenk you may dear.

Well done JessM correct use of apostrophe!

It's somewhere to send them cheelu when they start picking holes in other people's typing

Basically yes. A profound knowledge of Fowlers English usage is a necessary adjunct to joining

Thanks jeni, to do with Grammar then?

Sometimes excessively so!
