Are you sure it wasn't from cod

Iklboo · 08/04/2008 14:12

Tell him they didn't have chocolate moose so you got him a cream elk instead

hana · 08/04/2008 14:20

why are you making fun of how your dh spells things?

Iklboo · 08/04/2008 14:21

Probably because she's his wife and she can?

hana · 08/04/2008 14:23

ah
just seems a bit childish sorry

jumpingbeans · 08/04/2008 14:24

At least he's got some good stuff on hi slist, the one and time I let Mr jumpingb go shopping by himself, he came back with a ball of edam cheese,a french stick,a crate of lager and two bags of sweets for the dc-he was meant to be shooping for the weekend

NomDePlume · 08/04/2008 14:24

My DH would be hurt if I posted this.

SmugColditz · 08/04/2008 14:25

Because it's funny, hana! Genuine Q, do you not speak English as a first language?

Iklboo · 08/04/2008 14:25

I'll bet he takes the mickey out of her to his mates too. Part of being married I fear. DH and I make fun of each other all the time. Having said that, it's never anything cruel or nasty

hana · 08/04/2008 14:30

Do I speak English as a first language?

Why yes, I do. Why do you ask?

It's not part of being married at all

girlfrommars · 08/04/2008 14:34

You do know that you're in Pedants' coner don't you hana?

girlfrommars · 08/04/2008 14:35

MrsBadger · 08/04/2008 14:37

oh that's nothing

mine is quite impressively dyslexic and tries manfully to spell words like fajitas and bolognese

usually I can tell what he means...

hana · 08/04/2008 14:43

oh geez! will slam close door quietly on my way out

EffiePerine · 08/04/2008 14:49

I am in awe that your DH can write a shopping list.

(and I had to read it twice to see the spelling mistakes )

DH once mocked my spelling of carrots on a list - I sulked for quite a long time

SmugColditz · 08/04/2008 14:50

Gawd I only ask because you seem to have a slightly UnEnglish sense of humour about this (ie you're not cruel). I was trying to ask delicately if you are a Furrener.

hana · 08/04/2008 14:57

maybe slight sense of humour failure

and nope, am not British

really going now, you guys are scary

Blimey didn't expect this to kick off!!

I posted it because of his crap spelling and yes I have told him his spelling is crap!

He wouldn't care that I had posted it to give some amusement to others

If dh didn't write a shopping list he wouldn't get anything he would eat!

As this is pedants' corner, I think you'll find that's actually a reindeer, UD.

SheikYerbouti · 08/04/2008 17:19

this is a moose

LadyOfWaffle · 08/04/2008 17:20

DH wote me a note this morning with

Love Yowu
at the bottom. Bless him, I think he was 1/2 asleep though!

SheikYerbouti · 08/04/2008 17:24

I work with DP, and I see the e-mails he sends to clients - they are appalling! He can spell and he knows the rules of grammar, he's just a lazy fecker.

I had an e-mail from a colleague last week apologising that he couldn't be more "persific about deetales"
