Why when writing on here can't you just say the whole word instead of dd mil ect it's really annoying and lazy

New to MN?

Hilarious thread OP! Mumsnet approved abbreviations are fine. Grammatical errors on the other hand..... thanks for the chuckle.

Don't let the stable door hit you on the way out 👋 🐎

Just a bit of horseplay!

No

Yes, sorry. We’ll try and rein it in a bit.

🤣🤣🤣
The one that rips my knitting is "cuppa tea". Have seen this written in records at work; "offered her a cuppa tea"! 😠

I hate it when people are too lazy to use proper punctuation.

I never make fun of anyone's use of the English language unless they post criticising other people's use of it. Then I will.

I once saw someone posting about her DC who liked to play outside in the 'colder sack'! 🤭

At times like this I love the quaint old Scottish expression - ‘Get tae fuck!’

Please use hyphens: off-putting, cult-like.

Yup, me too. Or occasionally I might do.it if they are just being offensive or unpleasant.

I usually really dislike people picking on SPAG on MN. But the OP was being a twat, so the gloves were off.

Read 'em all.

Thank you, dear MNters, for a good laugh! I'm sitting in bed, with a comatose cat, feeling full of cold and not very warm, due to not wanting to push up the electricity bill. The thread made me LOL+++,

Ect 😂😂😂

It's 'etc' not 'ect', btw (by the way). That is, 'etcetera', meaning 'and so on ...'. Please get your abbreviations correct if you're going to criticise people for using abbreviations at all.

Hey, hey guys? Has anyone explained to OP yet that it's etc not ect? Anyone?

Was going to try but suspected OP had been at the 🍷
