to not have thanked someone for a present

[sparklebutt]

Hi mumsnetters will try and keep this simple, basicly i wished everyone a merry christmas on my fb status and thanked the family members that got my 2 dds christmas presents then today i recieved a call of my bil saying that my sil wasent very happy as shed seen my status and id not put her name in the message thanking her even though shed not botherd with her nieces, bil said to sil well did you get your nieces anythink? Sil says well no but its not fair i should of been thanked to. Have i missed somethink was aibu?

What bothers me is the ignorance that goes with grammatical mistakes eg could of, because people really think that it is correct. I don't think that cos is correct, because, if I was typing a letter, I would not use it. This is a much less formal setting though and on forums and text I will use it as a form of abbreviation, because it is, lazy or not.

I use 'cause instead of cos

This is al getin abit out ov hand. Go on, shoot me down

??

Glitz a post like that is going to cause some serious contusion

God sake, ma dayz OP, just call er on it n av a fite. Recken Yull win if u punch er in da chin lol.

Cos is a word.
It's a mathematical abbreviation for cosine, used on its own.

I'm surprised it's spelled somethink personally, as it's pronounced salmfink
(Around here it's sammink)

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with a bit of Umgangsprache on a forum.

Generally we write correctly, but a little bit of "cos" or other abbreviations (it is an abbreviation according to the oed) and the occasional missing capital letter is fine.

There's also nothing wrong with a dash - perfectly acceptable, if overused.
Usually, parentheses or a colon would suffice.

I don't object to cos in a regular post. I do think it is poor form to use it in a post complaining about how someone else's post is hard to read due to bad spelling and grammar.

Okay, yes, I agree with that

This thread has gone off on a serious tangent..

I'll get my coat

Whatevs ??
