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.

Am on a Dell laptop.

I use words to strike out in texts to MNers, knowing they'll know what I mean!

ooh Euphemia I really don't have time, do I?

I have to press my function key and then 'insert' to make my number lock on, which is a bit of a faff.

Huh. Google say: Dell Inspiron 1545 = no Alt 7 bullet points

And how sad am I getting fixated on this ?

"My first " is the most overused LIE

YABU
It's usually my favourite part of a reply!

Oh and for anyone who wants to do it on twitter/Facebook etc another mumsnetter posted this link ages ago.

Type in what you want to strike out, then copy and paste and voila!

I have never actually used a biscuit for any other purpose that to occassionally make boobees

If you are going to do a sarky strikeout your sentence has to make sense or else we will think you are an idiot not really committed to the sarcasm.

Hmm, Function + Insert doesn't do it either. Will just have to resort to copying & pasting from Word in order to keep up with the new fashion on here!

op I would but this made me and and I was a little and . Im not or but a little bit of your boldness. at my tactics BUT yabu they are all overused iykwim. and I love them all.

Now have a even a and for the opportunity for me to act like a complete knob on mn.

= obviously if you know your stuff

I've seen a little 'TM' sign before.... does anyone know how to do that so it's all little and up in the air next to a word?

Like this ? ?

Here you go, chapesses :)

Warning: They don't all work on Mumsnet, even if they look right in preview! You have to be daring [teeth]

See?!

The little trademark one, that just works if you copy and paste it from Word - having used Insert Symbol.
