Honestly, to all intensive purposes you will thank me for this one day

[MutePoint]

I'm in no position to join the grammar police but some MNetters might be grateful to learn that

all intensive purposes should actually be: all intents and purposes

per say should be: per se

mute point should be: moot point

'Putthatpombearback' - apropos of which, saw the word 'diarrhoea' written as 'dire rear' once . 😂 Which is certainly an accurate description of said problem!

My cousin posted this this on Fb she was so cross about the grammar

I always used to misspell diarrhoea wrongly until I learned the mnemonic - dash in a real rush hurry or else accident.

Great mnemonic, Hattie, I've not come across that before. But I feel obliged to mention (and I wouldn't usually, as it would make me an arse, but given the nature of the thread and all), that you're can't misspell something wrongly – you can misspell it or you can spell it wrongly

See, and I wrote 'you're can't'. It's Muphry's law in action.

Absolutely write. Soz. I literally died when I realized what I done their. Totes embrassed.

I'm sat in my chair, but I'm going to have to have a lay down now. Don't get me started on 'I was Like'.

Don't know what happened there, I certainly didn't intend to post 4 times

'Could of', instead of' Could have'. A-a-a-argh!

Your being unreasonable

Tow the line irritates me. Just saw it on another thread.

It is TOE the line.

and for heaven's sake, the letter 'h' is pronounced 'aitch' not 'haitch'. (Sigh - that sounds so thick).

Can't think of nuffink worse!

Like this?

Isn't that regional?

Fortunately as I live in the US I can spell it as diarrhea. So much easier.

This thread has been rediculously devine.

Back too the drawring bored op

Who'ed have thunk it?

Yes, amis, the aitch/haitch thing absolutely is regional. There's a whole wide world out there...
Haitch is a perfectly normal pronunciation in Ireland, for example.
Maybe it's a greater demonstration of thickness not to realise that and sneer anyway?

No, no, no. Haitch is not regional. It is wrong. Totally and completely wrong. Who on earth says N Haitch S?!

I say haitch. I am Northern
