OK "gifted" is shit.

Like "turned" applewood bowls.

PontyMython · 26/11/2011 21:26

Ooh, is it one of those new buzz phrases like comfort zone etc that make me feel stabby ? I haven't heard that one. But ick, YANBU.

I do like the way young children put 'ed' on the ends of words when they haven't worked out the right convention. My favourite of DD's is 'forgotted' - I was devastated when she first said forgotten properly Blush

"Gifted" is not a proper word.

A a "turned" apple wood bowl is fine, surely!

dazeykat · 26/11/2011 21:39

What is TMWMHJ? Just out of interest

WillieWaggledagger · 26/11/2011 21:39

yes, 'gift' used a s a verb. grr just say 'give as a present'

grovel · 26/11/2011 21:39

I was not arguing with the "turned". Concerned that the lovely Elderberry is a tad fixated.

'Project manage' is not a verb. You manage a project. Apprentice contestants please take note.

Sorry, just imagining you batting your lashes at Rupert Campbell-Black.
