to ask the MNers who say "methinks" to desist?

[MardyBra]

It makes you sound prattish. Just saying.

And please don't offer me any grips either.

I agree.

Phew. One person agrees with me.

But if others want to flame me, go ahead. I know I have the moral high ground.

Although sometimes it can be used in a funny way and also I'm not going to go on about other people's writing (as my English is bad enough!)

Methinks you need to get a grip

And LadyBeagleEyes has it

Is prattish a proper word? Methinks not.

Methinks you are being unreasonable.

Someone had to say it...

s

for all of you.

"sometimes it can be used in a funny way"

Sorry, haven't seen any examples of that. Certainly not on this thread.

Forsooth, YABU.

I agree.
Very annoying.

Methinks yourself needs to get a grip. People having an opinion make me stabby and my teeth itch.

It's a bit Alan Partridge.

Methinks posters who type desist, protest too much

Only cream faced loons say methinks.

Don't get me started on the estate agent/call centre/Apprentice candidates' use of "myself" NotIn.

"Who was responsible for this mess?"
"It was myself, Lord Sugar".

No. No. No. "It was ME, Lord Sugar".

Well not actually me.

(You know I love you really).

I get a pain in my rectum from people stating certain words or phrases are irritating.

The pain is far worse than the one I get from people using irritating words or phrases.

The vocabulary police are all fascists. Or tools of a totalitarian dictatorship.

Not as annoying as all those antenatal threads titled "brooking no argument.." It may have been witty the first time, just.

Methinks starting a thread with ' So,' is also pretty annoying.

You can all keep your "stabby"s and itchy teeth too.

I've never even seen me thinks but me thinks i will use it now!
