Thread Name: BS: Grumpy about Spelling Errors
Subject: RE: BS: Grumpy about Spelling Errors
well.
excuse me.
i've lurked around MudCat for a long ole while now. I think most of my posts have been thoughtful and considerate. Now I seem to have time to go to the threads with the BS prefix, which I have rarely done since they became separable. Seems my lexical choices raised some hackles...but to this old Canuck, the BS forum is waaaaaaay [sic] more like sitting around in a bar, where one can express things freely. For those who found the mangled grammar and the f-bomb offensive, I apologize. For those who assumed that my ability to spell journalist AND use the f-bomb indicate laziness: OK
But i can still spot a typo at a hundred yards, and btw, in the context "fuck up" is PRECISELY equal to " the idea of 'making an error.' " Says so in the Canadian Oxford Dictionary. Threads with the prefix BS, I had assumed, apparently wrongly, have a somewhat less   formal atmosphere.

So, in closing, I'd just like to say to leeneia {These are the crutches once limited to dull people with no vocabulary.} and Steve
{People who write this bollocks really annoy me too} sorry I irritated and annoyed.
& Eliza, I have Red Pen Syndrome too. I send all my Member of Parliament's packages of propaganda back with spelling and grammar errors highlighted.

thanks for the thread DMcG
