    Default Humour is dead

    I would have thought it bleeding obvious that my picking on someone's spelling was an attempt - feeble maybe - at humour.

    I fully realise the main purpose of this forum is sharing information about a subject close to us all. Apparently, humour has no part in that. Sorry, I won't do it again.

    "If the d**ck heads who invented english had been to school they wouldn't have constructed one of the most difficult languages in the world."

    Difficult for you maybe. I had it mastered before I went to school. But there again, I haven't got a university degree.

    Bugger! There I go, I've done it again!

    G'day Eddie. Put it behind you mate. It's considered bad form to point out spelling mistakes and other typos, as various of your predecessors have discovered in the past. Much as it grates, the best thing is to leave it alone.

    Nyuck nyuck nyuck....

    The Three Stooges. Now that was humour...

    Not that it matters to me, but your reply on that spelling issue didn't come across as a 'funny' or 'humerous' type post. If you want it to be viewed as such, put a smilie on it.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Eddie, Forget about it mate. Like Silent said its best to leave it alone.

    You are welcome to correct my spelling and grammar any day. (in a good way of course).

    Cheers

    Thats not humour mate. I HAVE got a university degree and it irks me endlessly the way people downgrade the value of a "piece of paper"

    I, for one am a bit of a closet spelling nazi so I sypmathise with you and I'll take it as a lack of tact. (I've even got a copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves". Read it, its a hoot!)

    So regruntle yourself and get on board!
    Cheers,

    Adam

    No a hypoenotist hypenates you, he puts this little - in the middle of your guts.

    hOW MUCH ENERGY IS EXPENDED ON WORRYING ABOUT spelling mistakes, get a grip, or conversly, let go.

    purile fascists! :mad: if neil gave a rats he'd install a spelling daemon, who died and made you the spelkling god ? eh ? pull your head in and contribute as you see fit or shut up! we all knwo we spel bad but the point of communitcioant is to transfer an idea not to provide the mechanism of goosteps...

    do you enjoy goosetepping around in front of your computer saying "DUMPKOPF!!!! Ich bin the Fuhrer ov spellink, Ich bist vatching you und vill Ich throw du inst die oven!!! Eins zwie, drei fier!"" <step> <step>!!
