What are you referring to?

Aha! Proof! It's *not* always me that lowers the tone. Usually, but not always.

Why isn't 'manifold' a euphemism for foreskin? I've wondered that for at least fifteen years.

Seems to me that if someone comes here and writes something and makes a mistake in spelling or punctuation then most of you totally ignore them. What are you trying to do ?make an elite class? if so then fine go make your own coffee cup beer glass or house even cause most people need help[ when doing something new.

Sorry Roy not aimed at you

Ok let's put it another way Let's suppose you want a new garden gate with a few twists in the uprights and some S scrolls and C scrolls or even a heart shape in the middle can you make it or do you need help in making the hinge even .

I could make the gate. And the hinges.

Now, are we talking wrought iron with smithy welds or pansy mig welding on cold rolled steel?

Got the fire and an anvil don't got a mig welder though can do cold or hot Rolls and enjoy doing it .

Sorry got to ask did you build your own house ?

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, but I doubt they'd be much use.

Hey SWL read a lot of what you have to say in Roys posts so If I go away tonight its cause its 2'45 am but would enjoy talking more.is that ok? butat the mo still here

It's not so much less than perfect grammar and punctuation that annoys me (that'd make me a hypocrite ), but it's that people just don't seem to even try anymore. And as for spelling, I actually saw someone put an R in thought the other day instead of the H..that really wound me up, but then I'm getting old and grouchy.

It is the responsibility of parents as well as teachers to make sure kids at least know the basics. I started teaching my Josh to read and write in fun ways before he started primary school, now he corrects my spelling!

Trought? That's an odd one.

My folks started me reading when I was very young, and I think I learned punctuation by default. Not sure though, 'twas a long, long time ago.

Got me another drink cause this just got interesting so SWL what mediums do you work in ?

My gran very embarassingly still has the note I wrote her on my first day of school Dear Nanny now that I am at school just thought Id write you a little note from Sandra.

God I was such a nerd!

Was? Need I remind you that you're currently conversing on the internet? We're *all* nerds 'round these parts!

No no , I'm a geek now
