  • Only if you're the kind of cunt who thinks there should be a letter "a" in definitely.
    In which case, you don't deserve to have access to any manner of technology that provides autocorrect.
    Or oxygen.

    To put it bluntly...

    Also, why do companies advertise things as "NEW AND IMPROVED"....surely it can only be one or the other?

  • No, defiantly isn't a typo of definitely - they're not anywhere close to being the same word!

    tpyo is a typo!

    No, they're nothing like being the same word..
    defiantly
    definitely

    A typo can be a substitution too or leaving out a character. Not just fat fingers on a typewriter.

    Definately agree with this!

  • People/sites that think Northern Ireland is in Ireland when you need to select a country.

    No it's in Northern Ireland, Ireland is an island, not a country/state. Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland take your pick. Not Ireland.

    Surely Ireland means the republic as Northern Ireland is UK so would come under that rather than being listed seperately.

    Yeah that's exactly the point. But the darn site said "You have entered a NI postcode (note in UK...!) but not selected Ireland as a country".

    Dafuq.

    @Charco Of course I'm a loyalist, I'm from King Billy country. Part of the new invasion force but fuckit they can have it.

  • Pacific / Specific - might be more of a Norfolk thing, but really gets my goat!

  • That's not location pecific, it applies across the Specific.

  • e'zackly!

  • four the pedants on the forem, and there are meny.

    you have nothin on this men

  • tho it is very pacific in its criteria

  • shouldn't it be " Pedants Corner. " ( full stop )

  • Pedant's Corner.

  • Pedants is fine since it is a corner for many pedants to gather, rather than a corner occupied as the personal territory of a singular pedant.

  • 'Pedantry corner' would be the most appropriate, considering that it is a 'place' in which to practise pedantry as opposed to anyone really 'gathering here'.

  • On second thoughts, pedant's corner is fine. Hello Oliver.

  • Pedants' Corner

    As in 'possessed by ALL the pedants.

    Pedantry corner would be unacceptable.

    It may well be a corner owned by pedants but that does not mean that they always have to be pedantic.

  • On second thoughts

    So how many thoughts are there? Only one can be the second thought, then you have the third thought, then the fourth thought ... (continued on page 94)

    :)

  • All right, then, that does it.

    THREAD START WAR!!!

    We need all the titles.

    hippy can't merge them yet. :)

  • actually this was all done on page 2

  • Actually, this was all done on page two!

    You mightmaycancouldshallshould have to define your use of the word 'this' in that context.

  • Oh no, it wasn't.

  • now i know how Dr CB Frankenstein felt...

  • This is an incredible burn
