    Pedant's corner: comments can't be slanderous and libellous, it's one or the other.
    If posted online they're libellous (allegedly).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I tend to use both.

    Slander is a false or malicious claim that may harm someone's reputation, and;

    Libel is a method of defamation expressed by print, writing, pictures, signs, effigies, or any communication embodied in physical form that is injurious to a person's reputation, exposes a person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, or injures a person in his/her business or profession.

    In simple terms: libel is a written falsehood and slander is a spoken falsehood. SLander latter being more difficult to prove.

    I am aware of what they mean, I just like to use both as I point of expression.

    And macman: de minimis!
  • I have called RM, they don't have a separate signature to saying it was delivered. What are my next steps, and pendragon_arther, saying "get a life" is making fun of my situation, why is that appropriate?

    And:



    Can't till tomorrow... GRRRRR!

    You make it sound like an expression you use daily.
