to think that the strike out function is the most overused and misused thingmy on Mumsnet?

[bibbitybobbityhat]

(apart from non aibus in aibu, of course)

oh, and the biscuit.

can you strike out a whole sentence??

oh yes wow thanks :)

Ok, I know "RPG" as an acronym (although it does always make me think of the Princess Bride's giant rats), but what is "MIRC"?

I don't know what either of them mean.

"RPG" is 'role player game'.

Olivia was that back in the olden days when you were doing the sexing, instead of the birthing and rearing stuff? [innocent enquiring face]

I fucking love it, wish everywhere had it and that I could use it in speech

Oh, you're all getting beyond me now..

Gransnet get fucking cake icons? Is that because they are too old for bumsex?

Well, they get a cake icon, don't know what they use it for...

While we're on the pedantic theme, so many people don't know how to use ordinary brackets either. They usually leave too many words inside. Like, instead of "We went to MIL's yesterday (as we usually do on Thursdays) and she said something weird", it goes like this : "We went to MILs yesterday (as we usually do on Thursdays and she said something weird)".

I freely admit to over-using brackets shamelessly, but at least I know when to close 'em.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of emoticons, where is my little evil smiley? I so need one.

What does an 'evil' smiley look like? Could it look like a cake with a cherry on top?

[Not on a soap-box me, oh no]
