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?

Surely, then, it should be Mums' Net as it's the network belonging to the Mums?

don't you doily me Chaos Truely Reigns , it is not my fault that i takes at least two members of HQ to sort you out every time you post an op.

Tee2072 · 24/02/2012 22:21

5 points to HoneyDragon. Would have been 10 but lost 5 for misspelling Chaos' full name.

She's probably had 2 glasses of wine.

SRE might be better...

Trills · 24/02/2012 22:27

I think you get extra point is you mistype Choas's name.

Honeydragon · 24/02/2012 22:33

I have been sober for 2 years and 9 months < insane proud>

Tee2072 · 24/02/2012 22:35

Good for you Honey! That's fab.

And Chaos was calling me a lush. It's actually mostly exhaustion.

Really, am going to bed. Swear I am...

Valpollicella · 24/02/2012 22:37

Nah you're not Tee....

Stay

I rather love "doily" as a mild insult! Grin

And did have a quiet at MNHQ being reduced to MH, which of course just happens to be the same shortening as for Mental Health.... Grin more.

Tee2072 · 24/02/2012 22:48

Well, I said I was going to bed...didn't say I would be on my phone while there. Don't mind if I do, Val...

debka · 24/02/2012 22:53

I'm finding myself agreeing with Chaos on this one.

If it's MN, therefore Mums Net, there is a glaringly missing apostrophe.

Whereas if it's just M, you can ignore the crap grammar.

Honeydragon · 24/02/2012 23:06

Chaos has caused me to use Tweedle in RL she is a bad influence

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 23:14

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 23:17

Debka, watch out for that Chaos. She'll get all pendantic on your ass whilst flounting the rules herself

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 23:21

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 24/02/2012 23:31

Maybe Net is meant to be a verb, Debka. It would explain the lack of apostrophe but the question then would be, Mums net what?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 24/02/2012 23:32

Fresh meat?
