This one is bugging me.

Can you see it?

Am I wrong?

may be should be two separate words, but I had to read it twice to notice.

Well is it or isn't it?

Sorry - bedtime beckoned.

Yes I think it should be 'may be' not 'maybe'.

Need more votes for my rightfulness before I contact them with regards to their inept-idity.

may be

may be

Ok.

Have just e-mailed them - we'll see if they amend it.

I am Victor Meldrew.

yay I saw it before I scrolled to read the rest of the thread

I'm not totally thick after all

Trinity I have read many threads that you have posted on. Only started here last autumn but my heart goes out to you. I hope this little grammatical victory today can give you a smile.

My DD3 is similar to yours and seems to always hold and hold andho ld and I can see her clenching. Drives me insane (although I do it too). Read Lewisfan's (I think) suggestion for hitting hard with sticker chart and am starting that tomorrow.

Hope you sleep well and tomorrow exceeds your expectations.

Can you hi-jack your own threads?

lol I dont think you can hijack your own threads

I did smile a little at being right

today has been very productive all thanks to fairylightsforever

Great I'm glad it amused you.

I think I may have had a result from Halifax:

Will check it out to see if the power of Mumsnet has worked again.

Will now move to other thread regarding darn toilet habits!

"maybe made up of both"?

"made up of"?

Surely "consist" would be better?

Definitely 'may be', to paraphrase Noel and Liam.

sending hugs to Trinity

That's why you can't rely on spellcheckers.

Just checked - no change.

clearly a "may be"

An annoyance for me is "Thank You" when those words are joined, and even worse, when someone says them together as 'one' word.

I blame the {lack of} space on a cash till receipt printer, somewhere in the USA for that one (having first seen them as one word in a Taco food outlet in LA in the mid-90s, and subsequently noticed the verbal, and later, even here on MN, written, form)!
