In great big font? Was there a need for that?

I'm Scottish. Am sure some people might think I pronounce some words differently.

If someone has a strong accent, the written and the spoken word could be very different if you typed what you heard.

I know you think it's funny. I just didn't see the need to do what you did.

I told you why it was in big font.

The greatest irony of this thread is that a lot of the posters got tight lipped, and judgemental, about what a nursery worker, they had never met, did in her spare time, and how 'appropriate' or not she might be, caring for other people's little darlings, and then half of them form a little gang, which many 5 year olds wouldn't lower themselves to do, and start on someone because of a malaprop (which we all do, at times!):T:T:rotfl:

Jeez......:whistle:

I don't know or care who calls themselves what, but why spend a Saturday night targeting faceless posters about trivia?

Maybe 'atom' is the version for those with a more scientific belief in the origin of our species than the religious one! :rotfl:

I think anything that you do as an employee can have repercussions in work. If it shows the employer in a bad light it could be classed as gross misconduct. As you say, that is even more likely if it has an aspect that is related to your type of work.

This is absolutely true. I know of somebody who was sacked for posting a pic on FB of her giving the finger to one of the company's vans.

That is quite a good take on it, and it does actually make sense if you look at it that way!!

But now people are picking up on other phrases she's saying? Give it a rest guys. I have heard a lot of people say that phrase, wether they are Irish or not. Up here where I am from in the North, a lot of people say Jesus Christ I've put it in white....just I case it offends anyone. :cool:

Agreed. I think phrases such as "jesus lord" are fairly commonly used. It's not foul language, not swearing. It might be a phrase some people wouldn't use but that doesn't mean others shouldn't use it if they wish. If anyone chooses to be offended by it, that's their problem.

However, there would be a problem if someone used the name of The Prophet as a swear word .

Not with me there wouldn't. Again, if folk choose to be offended by it that's their problem.

Exactly. It's disrespectful of other people's feelings - and I would not like my children or grandchildren to be hearing "Jesus Lord" in every day conversation at nursery, any more than I would like then to be hearing f88k, c88t, bars888d etc etc etc. I would expect teaching assistants or childcare workers to have an intelligence level such as to recognise that such expletives do not have a place in the workplace - nor in a forum such as this!

It's an indictment on society today that if the prophet's name were to be mentioned as an expletive then the thread would in all probability be pulled, but in what is still supposedly - and I use that word advisedly - a Christian country, that the name of God can be used so lightly as to be ignored.

It's blasphemy. A child couldn't get away with speaking like that in a nursery or school, even a non-faith school.
