Anybody got any emotions?

Xd posts, anno!

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

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

annodomini thanks i am staying

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.

anyione can make the odd typo - cannot of course!

Cheelu. Being a Pendant does not mean a person is more interesting or insightful, it just means they are better at spelling and grammar. Keep posting, you have lots of interesting things to say.

gracemum of coarse you did not do it deliberately and you are entitled to your opinion, please dont worry abt anything all is ok with me.......

Thank you Faye

I should learn to spell Pedant and I promise I will write it out a hundred times. Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant, Pedant......... I have to laugh though, doesn't matter how much any of us think we can spell, most of us make spelling mistakes at some time.

I did notice, Faye, but it was funny - you're right, it's so easy to do!

I am an idiot sometimes.

Faye

CHEELU I've always thought your user name was so apt as I tend to read it as CHEERU and your posts are full of good cheer. You're also kind and supportive to everyone and, I would imagine, a lovely person.

I've also had my spelling mistakes pointed out which amused me no end. I think the last time that happened was in Junior school

London you know I love you

And, yes, there are some who try and bully which brings out the worst in me to the point of arguing black is white. I read a thread about intimidation when I first joined GN - I had no clue who was who and often still don't but it's obvious some people do still feel intimidated and that's sad. Pedantic superiority is also sad. Hey ho.

I've not been on GN very long sel though I did 'lurk' for a couple of weeks before posting, but I think I can see a bit of a change for the better. There are more people willing to stand up to the 'strident voices' and more people willing to intervene when things start to get nasty.

Hope you're right Jodi (I did see a post a little while back complaining about people who lurk, so it's good you've confessed )

There's a lot that's quite surprisingly good about GN, the warmth and compassion and the friendship for those who, perhaps are a little isolated for whatever reason. It's a commercial enterprise though which depends on numbers - we are Grandsnet - whoooo!

I think we sometimes forget that the forums are only part of GN. There are 8 headings up there and many of those have drop down menus too.

Imagine a new GNetter dropping into the DM thread at the height of its rudeness robustness. They'd be totally freaked out and might never look again. Or if they called into the Grotto ( or worse even better Lil's Bar) that could be equally scary for the sober-minded or faint-hearted

I think many of us can spell better than we can type my brain doesn't always connect as far as my fingers! Perhaps that means people think I can't spell?

Cheelu when I see your name I am reminded of the Kipling novel Kim. When he becomes a chela = disciple to the llama!

The spell check works on my laptop, Movedalot. This may make me look like a better typist than I really am.

cant believe this is actually a thread about grammar and spelling mistakes!!

Surely the input is more valuable than how it is expressed?
lets not offend anyone because of such trivia!!

I'm with you there, celeb.

And so am I celeb! I was an English teacher for over 30 years, and although I spent my life correcting grammar, spelling and punctuation, this is not the place to do it. Here, what people say is the most important thing!

Of course, it's different in, say, the media, where a common ground is needed.

I do get irritated by poor spelling etc in any context, but I suppose it's bred in the bone now. And I find myself being judgemental about the writer too. But if, on a forum such as this, the errors don't impede understanding, then so what?

I shall just chunter away from time to time in perdants' corner....

I am a good speller and a good writer, but I make loads of mistakes on gransnet. So what? Gransnet is an informal medium. So long as comprehension is not affected, mistakes don,t amtter.

Ha! See what I mean?

Pedants' Corner is fun though

I agree bags about the infoamality of the medium.
I'll take your word for it about the fun.
