to think that you can't actually pre-prepare anythign?

[GretaGip]

[grr]

Eh? I can prepare loads

Have you been sabotaged op?

Otherwise yabu as I agree with Groovee.

Well no you're right

That's like preparing to prepare something in preparation

{hmm]

Nothing short of an unanimous YANBU would please me tonight.

Dyahear?

If you fail to pre-prepare, are you pre-prepared to fail?

Well I suppose it's easier to say than 'prepare in advance', or is that a no-no also?

Language does evolve you know. The rules we learned at school don't automatically apply nowadays.

And there's always Pedants' Corner for these matters .

I am nto allowed in Pedants' Corner.

I'm only shouty because bloody Ds1 left the caps lock on as I was selecting my nn .

You sound like someone I'd get on with Op

Go into MyMumsnet and change it to ShoutyChutney and I'll be your bset friend foreva.

YANBU.

And I give you 'pre-book'. Nooooooooo people, not 'prebook', just 'book' - perfectly good word.

Totally down with you Greta

Ahem, I think you meant 4eva.

ShoutyChutney doesn't sit easily with me I'm afraid.

And you're not the boss of me either, so there.

But my dad's bigga than your dad.

Well my dad's a policeman, and he could arrest your dad and throw him in jail for being too big, so there,

You are now pre-warned.

Hahaa...God, all point and laugh at the spanner that didn't fully get it!
I saw jumbled 'anything' and also had my filter switched off as the internet would cause my head to explode if I actually paid attention to grammar.

Apologies OP...may my overuse of elipsies give you reason to overlook my YABU in rage!

May I offer an Irregardless?

YABU

Take shepherds pie as an example.

You prepare mashed potatoes to go on top of the meat.

You can pre-prepare the potato that will be cooked to form the mashed potatoes.

So....pre-preparation.

Shit, I didn't even mean grammar.

NicNoc - I love your use of spanner.

My df uses it loads - never herad anyone else use it.

Oh.

Are you my RLBF?

Do you lurve JO and say beayewtiful loads?

[gulp]

Or you could prepare in advance the potatoes Lougle.

I've just split an infinity - does anyone care anymore?

I care.

But I was busy hiding your hockey sokcs so I missed the moment.
