The pedant returns

People really must stop mixing singular and plural or I will EXPLODE!

Mother (mom, mum, mam) Ally is in my sights with:

"What's your plans for Christmas...."

It should be

What is your plan for Christmas....

or

What are your plans for Christmas....

If I see any more of this nonsense from anybody you will be reported to the grandma pleece and be dealt with accordingly.

You has been warnded.

On a lighter note, Jo keeps posting blank messages. She just posts the grinning idiot demented arm waving smilie which is corrupted and Opera will not recognise it. It is one of the few delights of Christmas - a smilie free blank post. Keep it up kid. ;) :) :)

Opps! :oops:

Ally knows the rules perfectly well, she teaches them :)
As do I, and used to teach them :)
Sometimes, some of us like to not give a stuff for rules :Hi:

It's a shame about the big smiley, but sometimes I see it on the right, and sometimes I don't, so didn't know if it posting or not :)

As for you... :evil: :evil: :evil:

If I had to go through all the posts and point out misuse of apostrophes (yours included WM) I'd be there for quite some time. 8-)

But a) I have a life and b) I don't give a monkey's wotsit. :evil:

I haven't got the ROFL smiley this year..there's just a gap. :shock:

I have gaps... usually when I am about to do something vitally important and suddenly it's What! then I go off and do something else. :roll:

I am not alone. :oops: :oops: :oops:

This song annoys me every time I hear it and I just have. :o

The Jackson 5. I’ll be there.....

If you should ever meet someone new, I know he better be good to you, cos if he doesn’t.......

DOESN’T???? Surely that’s wrong?
