I'm semi-new to LBT but not new to forums in general.

What is really irritating is trying to read through one long run-on sentence, poor capitalization, poor spelling, and no paragraphs! :thumbs_up:

The no paragraphs are the worst as they are difficult to read.

We have spell check, use it for goodness sake.

Punctuation is good.

I've come across quite a few posts that are long with poor spelling, punctuation and no paragraphs. They've been very hard to read. I hope I'm not alone in my thinking here. I'd just like to know when a thought ends and another one begins!

Thank you for letting me rant, I'm done now.

Fanny I asked my daughter about your spelling and she said that it was correct if you were in England, which I'm sure is what you meant by the Queen's English. I am constantly bugging my daughter how to spell words and she'll first ask me if I'm in England or the US. She's a linguistics major and it really pisses me off!!!! Nancy of da north

Ooops. Please allow me to correct that. If I win the Opossum/donkey show....And was it really necessary to capitalize NEVER?? And, I'll touch your Queen any old time I want. If I ever get my passport back again that is. Don't ask, don't tell, my friend. Airport security was very curious about the contents of MY purse :smile2:...

TPG

There you go again. There are only two o's in oops; yes, it was entirely necessary to capitalise NEVER; you have started not one but TWO sentences with "And"; and you'll touch the Queen at your own risk!! Be warned, the penalty is quite severe - you could be subjected to a very stern letter to the The Times and, believe me, you wouldn't want to risk that!!

What an improper question! One should know that one never reveals the contents of one's Queen's purse! The very idea!! :smile2: Just for your information, one should also know that one NEVER lays hands upon one's Queen - a lesson that, sadly, TWO of our Prime Ministers failed to learn...sigh... Still, while we might also be rude and ignorant colonials like our American cousins, AT LEAST WE CAN SPELL!! :wub:

If one never lays hands upon one's Queen, then how does one get one's heirs...the princes, the princesses? Inquiring monkeys wonder just what lays what on what to effect that process.

Meaning, of course, no disrespect to Her Majesty.

And I am shaking in my boots. And will this cause my band to slip?

And, TPG

I'm in Australia, Nanook, and we still use the English spellings for most things. It's quite odd really - if you look in an Australian dictionary, half the time it will list both the US and UK spellings and say that either is acceptable. However, amongst the older generations (of which, sadly, I am a member) using US spellings is very much frowned upon. It's also always great for a laugh to tease Americans about their spelling . It's almost as much fun as calling a Southerner a "Yank" and then pretending ignorance of the difference *whistles innocently* :smile2:

And, does the Queen have a lap band? Ooooops, hope I'm wrong there. I do not care for newspapers. I watch TV for all my information. And I believe whatever I read. And Monkey agrees with me.

Hmph! If one must ask such a vulgar question, one should be advised that the process is qute refined. Her Majesty simply lies back and thinks of England and the deed is done!

ROFLMAO I left you so set up for that one!

Okay, wait. Plain's a queen and I know EXACTLY what he has in his purse. He has an autographed photo of Tim Curry from Rocky Horror (in full drag, of course, duh), a squirt gun, tickets to a roller derby from 1988, and a Barbie doll sans head but with some VERY peculiar markings and scratches in the pubic area.

Beth did, 'cause Beth gets stuff!

Yes, but I have an endless supply of antibiotics for... oh, wait. You were talking about...

Never mind. :smile2:
