Are we going to list all the words we don't like?

Can I tell you my favourite word?

It is 'oblong'.

Now it looks like "oblong" makes me sick. bah.

umlaut

I bet someone will come along and say the word 'oblong' does make them sick.

I see your umlaut, and raise you a circumflex.

I can't believe I missed a Withnail reference there. Tsk. Although that was a bit oblique, Pen. Some of us are trying to work, you know.

Oblong makes me feel like I have marbles in my mouth. It is a word you can chew.

(Though I wouldn't chew marbles I suppose.)

I was toying with constructing a pedant's "joke" involving calling someone an oxymoron, following their display of umlaut-ish behaviour, but I discover I can't be arsed.

I had a friend at university who had a circumflex in her name. Or on it, rather.

Right now, I am so not rocking the word 'Underbelly' because of that tw**ing advert.

Ooooh - and one for the pedants: anyone notice that the ad for that Travian (sp?) game says, "War is comming!" - I mean, WTF!

circonflex, chere 'Abbbibu

It must be the sherry, SixSpot.

Is it some Germanic reference, Penthesileia?

ist commen?

Grand Theft Auto in Old Norse - now that would be good.

Grand Theft Cart.

Grand Theft Horse.

Hadn't thought of that, onebat. Hmmmm - sophisticated - like the Gothic wars or summink? Still, should be with a 'k', nein?

lol Habbibu!

pimp my ride

at Grand Theft Cart.

On my screen that Travian ad very clearly says 'war is coming'

Shit. I forgot about the ships... Who knew Vikings could sail, eh?

Aufwiedersehn!

Blame the hordes of rampaging pedants for your unclean kitchen.

OK - well then, they've corrected themselves. It definitely once said 'comming'... Back me up, someone .
