hhhmmm, do you mean "FOUNDER members are".... ;)

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

hhhmmm, do you mean "FOUNDER members are".... ;)

Which is the very reason you were. :p

[Excalibur]

Sadly, I don't think I qualify.

:cry:

The censor won't let me type which forum you qualify for. :p :p :D :D


Now this is probably akin to sticking your head in the lion's mouth, but has anyone else noticed how Darren's happy pills seem to be working really well lately? :confused: :D

PS As a founder member, I have to point out it's Excalibur

[Mission]

Sadly, I don't think I qualify.

:cry:

Me neither, I had to look up what the word meant first.:D

So I would be too thick to join the forum :rolleyes:

And Rules are Rules. If we didn't have them, where would we be :D :beer1:

[Corabar Steve]

Yes I would definitely say founder members too

[rob1963]

The censor won't let me type which forum you qualify for. :p :p :D :D

That's weird...

...it lets ME type the word "professional" without any problems.

Must be a problem your end!

:D

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

And Rules are Rules. If we didn't have them, where would we be :D :beer1:

France...:D

And if we had two many rules where would we be?

Germany.. :D

[robbiedj]

France...:D

And if we had two many rules where would we be?

Germany.. :D

With just two, Darren?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

With just two, Darren?

Alright, you can join Robbie. :rolleyes: :D

Edit - Or should that be Carol? :sj:

[robbiedj]

Alright, you can join Robbie. :rolleyes: :D

You know I can't spell. She types for me.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I remember you telling me, hence the comment.;) :cool:

[rob1963]

Since when did not being able to spell stop anyone from posting on this forum?

:rolleyes:

I'm just funny that way. :whistle:

:rolleyes:Or poor grammar

[theoloyla]

Lets face it I'm a "grumpy old man"; so I guess I should qualify.

[Corabar Steve]

Welcome aboard Theo

Welcome aboard Theo

Hang on, don't jump the gun - is he suitably qualified?

[BeerFunk]

I'd rather people were pedantic than stupid, lazy or ignorant! Accuracy and professionalism have gone a long way to make the UK what it is now.

The trend of horrendous spelling, grammar, and just poor communication in general seems to be getting worse and worse, and it is worrying.

If health consultants typed or spoke in such a manner, people would die. If the military communicated on this level, we would all be either dead or speaking in another language.

Anyway, rant over - leave the pedants be! :D

A lifetime of effective criticism and correction of people and their affectations puts me in there. Or could have if they're to be believed from the incoherent scrawlings on their stationery made whilst they are stationary in their cars.

I'm appalled that I was left off this list, and further appalled that all members (including the named member) failed to pick up on the above.

[Marc J]

Isn't there an MDD Pedants Anonymous (http://www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=103980&postcount=48) group already? :D

[BeerFunk]

I'm appalled that I was left off this list, and further appalled that all members (including the named member) failed to pick up on the above.The highlighted name is not a member (the closest match would be 'Excalibur'), so which 'named member' is it that you refer to? :D

[Excalibur]

The highlighted name is not a member (the closest match would be 'Excalibur'), so which 'named member' is it that you refer to? :D

I think he would be referring to me, and I apologise for not highlighting his exclusion. :( :( In all honesty I felt that his inclusion would be a matter of course, and we would be able to welcome his arrival with suitable pomp an circumstance. :D :D

Guess I'll have to buy him two pints now, if his compass gets him to this little corner of God's County. Sorry I don't know any pubs which sell Fosters, though.:o :o :( :(

[PropellerHeadCase]

Just as well, can't abide Fosters... Old Speckled Hen'll do nicely :D

[Corabar Steve]

You'd be surprised how hard it is to actually get OSH in a pub. Supermarkets on the other hand........

[Excalibur]

It all depends where you drink. Since I don't like it at all, I rarely seek it out.;) :D

You come to the pedants forum with the blatantly misspelled 'pendant', and you think no-one will notice? It's like turning up at a mod convention in flares! :)

D@mn, thought I'd get away with it! :D

No-one said that this was the pedants forum, this is a thread created to recruit members for the pedants forum ;)

(I'd say you're in though... :p )

[Vectis]

So here.

Am I in?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Yep. :D

[Corabar Steve]

Oh, I don't know about thathttp://starling.rinet.ru/music/sleeves/zap_sfaces.jpg

[sleah]

Lets face it I'm a "grumpy old man"; so I guess I should qualify.

Ha! You may well be a "grumpy old man", but you're not THE "grumpy old man":ner:

So, if this is a thread to invite members to the pedant forum, where is the pedant forum?
Can I try before I buy? No good if it's not pedantic enough. I'm not interested if it's going to be full of missing apostraphes and incorrect use of they're and their and there:D

[Corabar Steve]

I believe this thread is only to sound out if there is enough interest in such a forum

[sleah]

Thank you for your opinion on the reason behind this thread, and on reflection believe you to be correct Sir.
I would be interested in such a forum. It would be a useful resource where fellow pedants could indulge themselves and have a bloody good moan about everyone else:p

:Naughty:

[Sapphire Disco]

When I looked at this thread yesterday I am sure it said pendants forum :confused:
Now not wanting to be a long dangling thing I didn't join but what ever it is I don't qualify anyway, I'm neither a pendant or pedant :D

[PropellerHeadCase]

Well, now that there's no necklace involved, you've become de-pendant ;)
