Work & Education you pick one's spelling and grammar thread

[allrighty]

Here's a little pic for you to hang onto, allrighty- bring it out whenever you feel it's necessary

Than I could use then than then - right?

We need another button, one that automatically fixes up the errors in the posts of other people as the posts hit the Board, even if it only shows on your computer, so you are happy without giving offence.
But you should have the option of giving offence if you want to.

Gold gold gold Fred .

Lol
Allrighty! You sure could!

Allright.........................ee.

I must confess I confused myself typing that line and had to head straight for the wine bottle, and then crookedly back to the couch.

Actually it should be "then then than".

 

[allrighty]

This is like that sign that mucked up the spacing on the Pig and Whistle Pub. That being the spacings between Pig and and and and and Whistle.

I actually thought you had one too many "then"s, than, but if you've got a drink in your hand and a couple in your belly, that'd probably explain things

Allrighty than. I will finish this one and stagger off to bed. Good night.

I'd be interested in a poll (anonymous of course) on the chilhood influences of religion on grammar police.
I'm tipping a few knuckles strafed by Nun's.
Or maybe it's just a GRAMMAR school education.
Although Sam Newman would be an exception.

*puts up hand
Guilty!!

(Though I'm far too young to have had my knuckles strafed by the nuns for poor grammar. They'd stopped whacking most of the kids when I went to school- though my elder siblings can't say the same thing)

Btw, PiS, "Nuns" in your post should not have an apostrophe. In fact I'd question the use of apostrophes associated with that word- ever .... Nuns are not meant to own anything, are they?

 

[allrighty]

Well ...

Very observant, TC, obviously taught by Nuns.
Actually I was planning on writing Nun's big sticks.
Somehow that picture didn't gel, and I left it at Nun's.
Hence the error. They did own sticks in my day.

Yes, my sisters told stories about getting rapped on the knuckles by the nun who taught them, if they got their piano scales wrong

This is an extract from The Age report of the HSU Union issues at the current Royal Commission from 30/08:

"Dr XXXX said she thought the $250,000 was a fair estimate of the union's costs and future expenses. Other then board members, however, say they knew nothing of the payment."

What bloody hope do we have?

They all go to the same bloody journo school!!

here's another that I see quite often on boards (oh, and the confusion on quiet/quite, I just can't understand!):
COMPLIMENT vs COMPLEMENT

 

[Teriyakicat]

Maybe we can just put this little pic in, next time

 

[allrighty]

I was on then alert this morning. Yes I saw one on the main thread.

Than again I was distracted with other discussions I was having, so there may have been more.

 

[allrighty]

Notice everyone else has left this thread?

Ah, that's OK- they're just not up to it

I'm still watching youse.

Just as a matter of interest, what is actually wrong with The Age one, apart from an (optional) missing hyphen, ie "then-Board"?

Yes Fred, I re-read it and saw that but had already posted so too late! Well spotted. Aside - I know the person in the article well, who is being mercilessly and wrongly hammered over this by the Age.

Other than a fully intact hymen, no.
