OK, I know it's a really easy mistake to make. It's just that every time I read this - more and more frequently - my mind conjures something like this. Enjoy!

Blessed be the cheesecake makers

This hot weather is going on along time

It’s along time… unless you’re travelling near light speed, in which case it’s bearly a tick.

Indeed

Did you mean barley not bearly?

There’s a current thread in AIBU where a poster is asking if it’s the first time someone has behaved like a “pre-Madonna”

Cattery · 02/07/2025 16:04

Pre-Madonna? Like, sort of around 1984?

Frescoes at Pompeii. Like 1st century CE.

I think Madonna had her first hit in 1983.

Anyway I think she dogged a bullet.

Another cracker from the BBC News site today

"The team also recently found a wooden hair comb on the site.

"It looks like a modern day knit comb," said Ms Frame."

Pedant5corner · 03/07/2025 10:44

On a local site today:
"Why people are not using their private parking space and create more difficulties for pediatricians or other residents."

My reply was 'Do many paediatricians live in [neighbourhood]?

Cattery · 03/07/2025 10:46

@Pedant5corner Love it 🤣

Pedant5corner · 03/07/2025 10:54

The same website had a suitably smartarse pedantic reply to a post about a cat wondering in a supermarket car park.

There was a post from a man hoping to meet a woman on there.
My reply was something like 'Poor spelling and grammar is such a turn off.'

@GarlicStyle read this yesterday! many people use the incorrect word here! This really annoys me/ He genuinely does believe in open boarders I have just asked OP if they meant BORDERS!

Or maybe they meant broad minded lodgers?

If anyone combed my knitting they’d be in big trouble!

Sometimes I think, wouldn’t it be nice to have a walk-in waldrobe

Chersfrozenface · 03/07/2025 16:20

Would a walledrobe be a sort of fortified prom dress?

Loving the crenellations, darling!

Pedant5corner · 03/07/2025 16:20

I have a walk-in floordrobe. I don't have a chester draws
