Eye'll tack that job

Everyone's a pedant

OMG [pedantic scream]

Thanks for pointing that out. Have amended it.

Exactly how does one do a pedantic scream?

Disappointed- I actually thought I had found my dream job being advertised then.

I sent an email to my DS's Head Teacher the other day and he replied saying, "I'll proberly do that, thanks".

I put it down to the fact it was a Sunday afternoon and he was 'proberly' pissed

Exactly how does one do a pedantic scream?

Very very carefully and precisely. With lots of checking first. Obvs.

well.............
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Cheers speckledpig

That poem is brilliant!

but its the bad spelling that makes stuff so much fun !
I was reading a thread today ............which all of a sudden went so pedantic due to a spelling mistake
and I nearly lost the will to live
but this has just given me a great idea for a new thread tomorrow
