Hello and welcome to Am I being Unreasonable.

This is your one stop shop for all your venting issues. If you've ever wondered if your overreacting then this is the place to post.

I judged. Read it and judge thee too.

Oh dear...

AIBU to think group admins should check their spelling on standard messages?

Bucharest · 01/02/2011 16:10

Rafi, you have broken the one, the immutable, the only, cardinal rule on Babycentre...the rule because of which I eventually flounced.

Thou shalt not correct illiterate spellings.
Thou shalt not try and use thine own language as it was meant to be used, but shalt try and be as kre8iv as possible.

If you like AIBU over there, you'll love Baby Names. It's hyphen heaven.

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 01/02/2011 16:24

i like kre8iv! Grin

AbsDuCroissant · 01/02/2011 16:34

I just had a look - I can't even find the babynames area. I have no idea what's going on there, though they seem to have sites all over the world, including Korea Shock
I wonder if they've spread to N Korea as well

"GR8 name! Kim Jung Il is the BEST!"

I love this one

How come we can't have polls on MN? It would revolutionise the experience

Rafi · 01/02/2011 16:54

at babynames section but rather proud of breaking cardinal rule Grin

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 01/02/2011 17:21

don't understand the hyphen thread - why call your child a hyphenated name if you're not going to use the whole name?

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 01/02/2011 17:24

Dorcas
that's my favourite biblical name.

noone suggested that.
(although they did use Tabitha which is the translation of Dorcas)

i fink she meant eggs, innit.

cumfy · 01/02/2011 18:03

I fink she meant she couldn't store cheese in her fridge because thats where she stores her brain.Wink

SmethwickBelle · 01/02/2011 18:50

That is a blatant rip off! Cheeky sods.

I love the age and stage info on BC and used to be glued to the BC birth club for DS1 but due to the harsh modding and also the insistence that we used the new social networking style of forum we ended up splitting off to a private forum where we can swear and slate as much as we like and know it isn't open to the public.

GloriaSmut · 01/02/2011 18:57

I have huge problems with "unique" baby names, expecially when they aren't actually unique in any other way than the spelling. For example, "Jaxon". Ffs!

Still, what's not to like about the joyously judgemental times that can be enjoyed there?

Bucharest · 02/02/2011 13:54

But the age and stage info is a bit schoolmarmish no?

Your baby is 9mths old!

Gee, thanks for telling me. I'd never have known otherwise.

I was on BC briefly before I found MN. I left for greener pastures because it was full of silly billys.

Portofino · 02/02/2011 14:21

JAXON! That is not a name for a child surely? Toilet Cleaner yes - baby no! Grin
