I have to write here, otherwise I'm going to correct my fil on a group whatsapp. I have real itchy fingers to do it anyway!
He is talking about the weather and has written that in the shade it is autominal!!!!

I'd just find a reason to use the word 'autumnal' several times over the course of your next few messages, assuming that's what 'autominal' means?!

I heard an automated message on the GP's phone line this morning urging me to "see the pharmacist for minor alignments".

Assuming they mean ailments.

It's like Trump and his "anomynous"

OP, you're a better woman than I am. My FIL just sent an email, Facebook post and FB message to just about everyone he knows asking them to help him with an event for prostrate cancer. Confused

I do my best to ignore these things but I couldn't do it here, I had to send a message pointing out the error but hey, at least it was a private message rather than a comment on a public post. I don't think he appreciated it though.

Why not just reply back with something like "yes, it really looks like the end of summa" - treats it with humour, and if anyone questions it, you can say " started it!" Grin

Haha @DadDadDad I should have done that!!
