If the word is Mumsnet, and then surely the place should be MHQ and the proles should actually be Mers or Metters?

I know it doesn't flow as well, but, hey, accuracy is improtant isn't it?

I'm very tired and very drunk. So all I'll say is:

Neener Neener re: Americans and the serial, comma, okay?

And it should be People of Mumsnet. ::gavel::

If it's Mumsnet you can't call Rebecca Mom - it must be Mum

But those are diminutives.

Working from the big long word, there's only one word, one capital.

So therefore...

But they write MNHQ and MN Towers as well

I did ponder that debka, but when MNHQ themselves write they use one capital. So, ner.

Em, Trills, howabout Thumby, Rhubs, LilacWalts, and now debka?

Actually chaos, if you look at the big logo, it's mumsnet not Mumsnet, so should we be mers?

Trills · 24/02/2012 20:53

Tell who off?

Noep.

No-one is talking about pedanticism, just picking on me.

Tell them off, mom.

hi there
Shall we move this thread to Pedants' Corner?
Thanks
M Towers

Trills · 24/02/2012 13:22

Haha

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 13:21

Really? Oh shit! Blush

Trills · 24/02/2012 13:20

:o

Best to keep it to "lighthearted" sections... it's not a game to play in the Pregnancy section.

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 13:19

Hmm, will try that.
Could be fun, especially if it requires a mere yes or no answer.
If I get lynched because the OP has revealed a tragic backstory then I shall merely blame you or claim that RebeccaMumsnet has hacked my account and posting as me. Actually, that could work! Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 24/02/2012 13:18

Loving Chaos's expert views on grammar.

Trills · 24/02/2012 13:12

You're probably answering just the OP though - I like to answer just the title, not even the OP. It's very refreshing.

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 13:08

When I do that the thread is around 15 pages long and has moved onto bumsex or something, then I come on with a mini rant about the title and promptly experience one of those "I'll get me coat" moments.

Trills · 24/02/2012 13:06

I enjoy answering just titles and not threads too.
