AIBU to think MNHQ is technically wrong?

If the word is Mumsnet, and then surely the place should be MHQ and the proles should actually be Mers or Metters?

I know it doesn't flow as well, but, hey, accuracy is improtant isn't it?

What does 'improtant' mean.... You were talking about accuracy?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 11:30

Sigh.

Your accuracy is impotent, do you say? Best head over to Health for that...

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 11:34

And what's with all the commas in that last sentence?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 11:37

Are the commas wrong then?

OP posts:
LilacWaltz · 24/02/2012 11:39

And why is an 'AIBU' placed in 'site stuff'?

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 11:42

You've one too many. You don't need a comma before the word 'but' or before 'and'.
So a red circle goes around those two and you get marks deducted I'm afraid.
Also, the first sentence does not make sense with the 'and then' in there. You need to take 'and' out altogether. Another deduction.
Plus another deduction for the mis-spelling.

I'm afraid you're really not doing very well Grin

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 11:44

Because it's better suited in here.

There's laws about nonAIBUs being put in AIBU, and there's nothing the other way around.

Ok?

OP posts:
Trills · 24/02/2012 11:45

Because this is stuff about the site.

She's a serial comma don't you know Wink

BoysAreLikeDogs · 24/02/2012 11:48

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 11:48

Right!

Rhubarb.

I have had a new keyboardy thing on my notsofarking smartphone.

It erroneously keeps adding "and" after commas and "I" after fullsops. Sometimes it throws in a "cottonwanking" just to naff me off as well.

Sorry and all that. :)

I blame Trills.

OP posts:
TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 11:51

fullsops?

You need to turn off your serial comma app. It's only put there for Americans.

Bloody auto cucumber eh? Wink

I've sent you a message Chaos.

Trills · 24/02/2012 11:56

I like the oxford comma.

Thumbwitch · 24/02/2012 11:57

Chaos, give it up, there's a love Grin
Twatphones do you no favours on threads like this.

TheOneWithTheHair · 24/02/2012 12:01

Grin Poor Chaos. I am actually crying with laughter now.

I enjoy answering just titles and not threads too.

TheRhubarb · 24/02/2012 13:08

When I do that the thread is around 15 pages long and has moved onto bumsex or something, then I come on with a mini rant about the title and promptly experience one of those "I'll get me coat" moments.

Trills · 24/02/2012 13:12

You're probably answering just the OP though - I like to answer just the title, not even the OP. It's very refreshing.
