A "miss use"? An unmarried use?

Thank you very much indeed for that eloquent demonstration of the fact that none of us is perfect. 🙂

As for your abbreviated name: I thought "BOT" not inappropriate. That was deliberate, not a late evening slip! 🙂
OK Start Read

You keep telling yourself how good you are

Sadly, the evidence is all to the contrary

My predictive won't let proper typing of 'miss use', and, frankly, you aren't worth any effort to correct it

Good luck on upping your rating

PS you noticed that your foul mouthed pal r69 hasnt challenged me

You wonder why? Ever?

Absolutely not.

None is an abbreviation of not one.

Q.E.D.

Or are you in America? They have their own rules.

Do you ever wonder why your posts contain multiple grammatical errors?

So, you are arguing from another direction why your earlier post was incorrect?

Think we agree it is plural!!

No, BOT.

"Not one" is an expression requiring a singular verb.

"One" is, by definition, singular.

How very singular that you don't know that!



I think you must be overtired.


Not at all, Start Read.

You going to tackle the 'your' next??

Isn't he a bit daft not replying to me?

I see you didn't understand my wry acknowledgement of error when I thanked you for your eloquent demonstration of the fact that we all find that we, or our phone's predictive text system, have not only allowed errors to creep into our posts but have failed to proof-read before actually posting.

I had paid you the courtesy of assuming you'd acknowledge that your "miss use" instead of "misuse" somewhat cancelled out my "your". Instead, though, you responded with the lame excuse about your phone's predictive text.

I don't feel a need to make an excuse. Obviously the "your" was a mistake I'd let stand. I ought to have proof-read. It was late, I found the conversation with you mildly amusing, including the fact that I'd posted without checking.

Honours even, I think. And for me, lesson learned: always tick the proof-reading box!

Hey Bott,

Just a question for the monkey. Do you enjoy making a total ass of yourself? Do you have to work at it or does it just come naturally?

Don't know about a monkey, Rusty, but I'd say the guy fits very well into the slot of a troll, and as such he's already been treated with too much courtesy by us.

We know what the sign on the fence says: Don't Feed The Trolls!

Also, he reminds me of someone....any ideas, anyone?
