The stirs on me...well I will call them digs as we know there is zilch camaraderie there. If one of my mates popped on and poked fun, I would know where it was coming from. Would prefer if you lost the :angel: and the :D etc and just say you got owned..or had a crack at me...much more honest. Funnily enough, it is also only a one way path, but such is life,

P.S. I did however learn about "your" and "you're" :) ( and that be a genuine smile)
Actually, most of AULRO is pretty good. Lately I have been spending a bit of time on the Whirlpool forums - and have been somewhat taken aback by the number of posts where I have to spend some time trying to work out exactly what the poster was trying to say. (And they even have a thread entitled "English", currently on Pt.8 - they start a new thread part when a thread exceeds 50 pages.)Quote:

Most of the time, that means using standard English!

BTW, there's no apostrophe in "forum's" or "typo's"Quote:

The only thing worse than someone making a mistake when they criticise someone else's spelling or grammar is someone who makes a mistake when they are criticising someone who is criticising someone who made a mistake.

It would be even worse to make a mistake when pointing out that someone has made a mistake pointing out that someone has made a mistake.:p:p:p
I bet you wish you could have attached one these :p or one of these :D to that "Thanks". :):D:p
I found an error :p....and that is with perception. I wasn't being critical...sometimes things are just having a bit of a stir....unfortunately on the net things can take on a life of their own. Hence, why I have learnt my lesson again....and that is not to get involved with anything on here that can be misinterpreted/ or misrepresented or just plain taken out of context. Back to Camping and Disco section I go :),Quote:
