writing things crossing them out

[tiggerpigger]

What's that all about? Some people seem obsessed by it... either say it or don't say it surely?

Oh lighten up, it can be funny!

I like it. It's like a theatrical aside or speaking straight to camera in a drama.

And indecisive is quite right; often it is very amusing.

I can see sometimes it is over-done but often it is amusing enough.

I find it humerous annoying at times

you are waiting for that admit it

I think it's funny when it's light hearted banter.

It bugs me though when a serious OP is full of crossed out sentences.

It does make me laugh though when someone crosses out an insult...and when they get picked up on it they claim it's ok because they crossed it out

ODFO

some people dont use it correctly and that looks stupid.

Either crossing out the right word at the wrong time, crossing out when they actually should have used brackets, or crossing out 6 times in one paragraph.

All looks daft.

When done right. It can be funny.

unless done too much

Or some people just use Tippex instead. What did I write up there? You will never know!

I love it when people do it wrong OHforDUCKScake

There was a batshit poster here recently who wrote half her posts struck out in an attempt to be funny but it was just odd and a bit scary. Like a pissed off butlins red coat

Oh yeah, I remember that poster, really difficult to read and a bit odd so I gave up in the end...

I love it! It's really funny, I'd love it to be part of everyday communication - text messages, glorious Facebook, emails etc.

You can be honest with idiots people without being too direct.

It makes me laugh.

you miserable sod

"Like a pissed off butlins red coat"

I agree, in the right context it can be very funny!

I love a good strikeout.

And StealmySunshine, you can strikeout on FB

Just because I can
