To want to claw my eyes out at this?

"It's a viscous circle"

Really? It's a circle with a thick, sticky consistency?

It's a vicious cycle, for fuck's sake.

Yes, I'm an unbearable pendant. I don't actually think it's that unreasonable.

Globule!!!!! 🤢

@Lalliella

Yeah *@pigsDOfly* is right, it’s a vicious circle not a vicious cycle. Hoist by your own pet toad OP.

Hoist by your own pet toad!!!!! Dying

Pendants unite in you're viscious circle, we won't loose you of we stand together. We could of ignored this but we must unite or we'll loose this.

Might want to name change after this one, OP. You could probably do with some restbite

To be fare you can get a viscous circle, I sometimes get one when I put a bottle of cooking oil on the Kitchener Worksop.

1. Isn't there a pedants corner for this
2. Maybe they mean an oily circle and you're not following the conversation

1. I need to get a life. Maybe you do too. Tricky during covid though...

Oh. Ha.

OP spelt vicious wrong.

Tasty 🤣🤣🤣

Muphry’s Law is strong in this thread.

Oh ho, ho, ho, 'tis the law of MN that a pedant should trip up on their own post! I do sympathise though - I have a necklace that is getting unbearable too. The chain is too short and it rubs on my jumpers. Nightmare.

I don't think arse hatch pyjamas and viscous circles should be mentioned in the same thread.

Can someone post a link to the arse hatch onesie please so we can see what on earth you are on about????

Surely you mean hoards of boarders Greenland :)

I can't find the original thread but the I the link is buried somewhere in this one;

Well, on an earlier thread about a Wasp, someone had their post pulled as they got into a bate about ''Could of''

They shouted '' Could have, have ,have !

I replied '' You could of made that clearer '' and we both had posts deleted.

Clearly even joking about grammar is clearly a MN offence.

I think it depends on what kind of English tutor one had..If they were strict on the basics of grammar or not.

You know exactly why the thread was pulled and it was because all of you staged a pile-in on the OP.

Joking about grammar is one thing.

Post after post from people like you taking the piss out of an OP (allergic to wasp stings, for those who weren't on the thread) for making a grammar error is another.

@GreenlandTheMovie

Its the land boarders that are really getting to me. All sorts of boarders are in the news currently, that means there are hordes of boarders being talked about...

Your posts were deleted as well for mocking people's English, weren't they?

Jesus, I can't fucking stand a pedant. You knew what it meant so what is the issue?! I often wonder what drives someone to be so bothered about shit like this. Yabu.

Because I hate having to work out what it is they mean and then pretend to feign understanding. If you’re going to refuse to read a sentence in your life then at least get comfortable with being corrected. I don’t owe anyone my time or tolerance.

Intrigued by the boak sounding back flap endowed onesie? A link from anyone or a clue where to look.
Pedants will pedant, the world does not end and frankly you can buy really cheap stuff from the likes of Ebay or Facebook selling places because people cannot spell chest of drawers and similar items.

Wow what a lovely attitude. Hope it serves you well.

Dint instead of didn't is another one that's becoming popular, I just saw it on another thread.

'Because I hate having to work out what it is they mean and then pretend to feign understanding'

We all know what people mean though, context is of far more importance. So pedants, if you struggle then read the sentence as a whole to understand! My spag is shite. So much just doesn't actually matter though imo. Practice/practise stationery/stationery, so fucking what. I understand commas alter the meaning of a sentence. I accept commas

Stationary* 🙄

I'm not getting the ad now, but it was a smorgasbord of Christmassy ones like this (I have added a male version for fairness)

Those onesies are horrific!

And referring to oneself as a 'pendant' is an in-joke for pedantic people.
