    Being Catty doesn't become you Poppy. So cut the !!!!!!. ;)

    OMG - and adding a winking smiley to your post does not stop it from sounding very rude and nasty. A pm would maybe resolve any bad feeling/confusion ?
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    As I answered you before Vanoonoo it had nothing to do with the quote you presented I said NO and I meant NO.

    Who is SHE you refer to ???

    I have seen this book quoted many times on this site. ::)

    As for the Grammar sticklers on this site they are going to have to lump it.

    Again its only a chat forum, were not sitting for our GCE's.

    You'll get over it. ;)
    i knowyou had answered me pat, which is why i was talking to Q and making reference to some of hte things that you along with others had posted. the sha was probably that cats mother. or you. or jay jay or cran or someone else. by my reckoning my posts should be perfectly legible no matter what level of grammar or first or second person referencing I use. yes? no? maybe? prehaps?

    Yes there should but that is being precise.  You must not criticise grammar.  Pat does not like it :-[.  I think it is ok to point out incorrect word usage as it goes to the very heart of the meaning of the post.  As has been said many a time, the meaning of the post is what is important not the spelling or punctuation.

    Grammar definition:  the abstract system of rules in terms of which a person's mastery of his native language can be explained.
    Lighten up Poppy9.....it weren't meant to be serious ::)

    No, I didn't get a big wooden spoon at Chrstmas.

    I was just voicing my opinion and I apologise if you didn't like it. Sometimes your posts seem a bit 'agressive' and maybe you dont mean them to. :-/

    or maybe you do!! Would you like one of my daughters chill pills.

    I respect you have your own opinion pat but I find it difficult when you cant seem to accept other peoples opinions with the same grace.
