I like a boring AIBU

There are often some quite exciting, emotional, dramatic, controversial AIBU threads arent there.

I really like the boring ones though. Mundanity is hugely underrated.

I feel like Im doing my bit in this respect.

I actually think that pp are being far too kind to you about this.

Apostrophes are very important and it is the start of a slippery slope not to use them.

Contrary to what you may think, apostrophes, along with all other marks of punctuation are just as available today as they have ever been; (as is every other mark of punctuation.)

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE!!!!!

Not to use them is a reflection of the shoddy behaviour so often found in the world today.

And there's a whole industry of apostrophe makers relying on your consumption.

My favourite AIBU are the mundane questions that often descend into the funniest threads - usually via an innocent typo!

I'd settle for an AIBU where the OP genuinely thinks they may have been U.
Nearly all either want positive strokes or for someone they don't like to dissed to hell and back.

And I will never let them down.

I will continue to use apostrophes as part of a sensible, measured, reliable response to others' communications. Not too many and not too few.

Ooh, Happy Shopper onion rings? I bet they're delicious. I know exactly what you mean about the corn vs potato taste/feeling but I do love crunching the big Hula Hoops in my teeth. The small ones can be overpoweringly beefy at times!

Have you ever tried Bobby's salt & vinegar twists? They are fab if you get lucky with a strong packet. The Co op own bacon 'Frazzles' are another solid choice.

I want beef Monster Munch Now...

Hell, yes! All those sound fabulous! Also M&S version of Wotsits. Bright orange cheesy, salty, powdery fingertips...mmmm!
