it's clique

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

not click-y ...

Thank you!

One of my pet peeve.

You are so right.

'Click' indeed!

No, it's cliquey not click-y. Clique and not click (or cleak).

I thought it was quiche? or quiche-y.

hey Boco-hijacking my own thread - there's a nice art thread in Culture Vultures at the mo...under Egon Schiele landscapes, if you have a minute...

Is it an art quiche? Will go and look, on my way to felting so will look later. (I hate felting)

uh, yes, it probably is a bit quiche-y

Oh spooky! I was just about to start exactly the same thread.

Except I probably would have used more capital letters and maybe some bold.

Want to start a clique of people who know it's not click?

I assumed it was a deliberate misspelling. Not sure why I thought that!

Pedants' clique = "Pique"

I'm meant to be working, which is why I'm spending my time being a pedant today...

I thought that too SPB

I love pique !!

Is it not clleeaaakk? Said through gritted teeth.

I always assumed that it was an MNism

I always spell it cleak on here, but of course I know it is clique.

oops

yes squonk an MNism, like fanjo, norks and fark - that must have been my assumption.
I've started a pique! Right, who wants to join my pique?

and we can repel non-pedants from the pique with a picket (or maybe picky) fence
LOL, now I know whassup MaryAnn. Displacement pedantry, eh?

Clique? Nah, it's not that bad once you get into the swing of it...

I'll be in your pique

Or should that be peak?

MaryAnn, you're in just because you said you loved it
marina, you're in for the picky fence idea, excellent.
Now, who else?

pique v good

Ahem.

quiche was mine [smug]

Excellent squonk, pique member no. 4

sorry WT, getting over excited as I have never been in a clique, click, pique or quiche!

I'm feeling a bit piquey. Must be that quiche.

I always thought it was an MNism as well!

I know perfectly well how to spell cleecque.

(Nobody noticed my fantastic witticism about the chicken thread being a chicke, btw)
