How did I forget pre-book seats? The sense of entitlement staggers me Grin

Why are spelling and grammar threads smug and twatty? We are communicating in the written word on here and it's important to get it right!

Because SPaG threads are invariably started to take the piss.
I'm an English language teacher and I save my red pen for tests, not a mammy forum.
I also like to put myself in the poster's shoes who has just written a post littered with mistakes (and I'm not denying there are lots) who then sees you lot guffawing and ranting and "I've found my people-ing" Not nice, is it?
Although it's always amusing to see Muphry's Law come into play. I spotted it on the thread you were all having fun on earlier. If it's important to get it right, maybe I should pop over and correct all the mistakes you all made in your haste to explode with mirth over the use of mortified. (I always find it strange tbf as to why you'd bother starting a thread to point it out. I always find them a bit like those wrappers on peanuts that say "may contain nuts" and feel like commenting "yes, I know what it means, ta"

I love proof-reading other people's posts. Grin

Pretty much anything but I hit the back button straight away if I see the word hubby and also if there are no paragraphs.

So adults don't need to keep learning? The writer loses credibility if they make basic errors that are difficult for others to read. Learning throughout life is important. It really DOES matter. 'Taking the piss' is no one's intent, surely?

Any of the nosey ones (laundry/food/what are you up to? etc.)

@TheCanterburyWhales I have an image of you sat smirking with a large G&T waiting to see if anyone has spotted your (obvious) mistake.

Nostalgia, childhood (as in things you remember), family traditions.

I wish there were more of the above threads, instead of the predictable moans about first world problems!

settmenu · 04/05/2019 23:52

@TheCanterburyWhales @NottonightJosepheen Muphry's Law is an absolute new one on me. (Had to google) OH THE IRONY 😂

cantfindname · 05/05/2019 03:52

I read most posts tbh. I can't be bothered with the weekend rash of 'my partner/hubby/OH/DP/boyfriend etc, is late home. I CBA with the really stupid questions. Other than that I at least skim read and there is no real click-bait that gets me rushing to look.

Occasionally there is a title that is sheer genius and I know it's going to be a good thread.. thinking of those like 'Small Vietnamese (?) woman in my garden'.. who wouldn't open that gem!

There are threads that reduce me to tears.. one yesterday about the child bullied at school over a long period; and others that bring me to tears of laughter.

MN is a fairly good reflection of real life, there is good and there is bad but you can't always tell at one glance of the title.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 05/05/2019 08:45

I can't resist a "my partner hasn't come home" thread.

What is this?
Is this nice?
Klaxon!
Kitten

Other than that I'll open most threads but I backtrack with cartoonish pedalling feet if I see Hubby, PTA, if it's a wall of text, if I have to understand " person A/B/C" type convoluted ramblings, anything that involves hen parties or hedges.
