We're out of tar, how about we just feather him?

Hi Barbie

You'll soon feel at home. This time last week, I'd never even heard of this fforum.

I usually watch a forum for at least a week before posting anything, but these lot were so obviously my kind of people, that I joined straight away.

Isn't it about time for PSD to drop in with a witty and scathing insult?

No no no PSD - you've misunderstood. I wasn't referring to your explanation when I said techie talk. I was referring to other threads on the Fforum.

Your explanation was very very easy to understand.

Oh... sorry AuntySassy, that'll have been me and my pathetic attempts at explaining things then. Sorry. Still, at least on the bright side it indirectly led to PSD writing all that stuff up for us I suppose.

Anyway, sorry. Didn't mean to confuse you :(

Ah, right, that makes alittle more sense. Still, anyone want to point out any incredibly annoying bits now so that I can fix them? Any tips, hints or questions?

on the "MY PROFILE" part, it's at the bottom of the thread, not the top...

other than that, the guide is very good indeed! <applause!>

There's one incredibly annoying bit on this thread. It's called PSD.

Hmm, thanks for that. Not terribly useful though.

Are you a greengrocer, by chance?

Okay, I'll bite.

No, I'm not a greengrover. Why do you ask?

Aberrant apostrophes...

I'm now opening myself up to all sorts of mockery by asking: Pardon? I don't get it.

Well, unless you were talking about the biblical bloke whose wife turned into a pillar of salt (btw, how the hell do I as an atheist know all this?), lots are lots, not lot's...

Greengrocers are notorious for adding apostrophes into words like tomato's, potato's and mushroom's. Keep 'em awy from Mycroft's bookworms, is all I can say.

(in fairness, this may be a UK phenomenon)

Okay, the lots/lot's thing I'll give you. Good point, actually. As for the greengrocers, no, that's not a problem we have here. Mostly because most greengrocers are either first generation Asian or Mediterranean and can't speak English too well, so they don't worry about any sort of punctuation, let alone whether they're putting it in the right place or not.

I may have posted this before, but for the amusement of newer members I shall just mention that I once saw a sign in a greengrocer's which read thus:

ALL NUTS, IS PRICED INDIVIDUALY.

Er, right...

It's up! And it looks great!

Just thought I'd mention the flippin' obvious; thanks though to PSD (and jasper too of course) for making it happen. Cool!
