Globalization

I think you mean 'moot' saak. Otherwise your post makes no sense.

It would make even less sense then ana because how can a non -word be moot?

Oh dear, I stand corrected yet again...

It makes no sense because it is on the wrong thread. Someone on a different thread made a mute point - must be an American poster who pronounces mute as moot so thinks they are both the same word.

moot point definition

eat yourselves.

I do know the meaning of moot point, Elegran....(she said, faintly...)

YOU do, Ana but I've a feeling that whoever posted saying they were making one was a bit mixed up between mute and moot. Can't find it now.

That definition is about mute as well as moot. Nice definition of a mute one “When somebody in a group makes a good suggestion, but somehow nobody hears it.”

Mute means silent and moot means a non point.

SAAK 21.23?

Oh no! is that a passive aggressive hint that I shouldn't be here? really? just because i don't fall in with your ideas of posting. I am actually a person and not a troll

I used the term a moot point earlier today on some thread or other.

I used it as meaning 'a debatable question'.

I hope it wasn't me using it out of context

X'd posts? I was replying to Elegran 21.58

No, it was somewhere else, Maw and was something about a mute point, those two words were in it. Must have fallen off the end of a page and vanished.

You are right, SAAK, it is silent v doubtful. It must have been very silent because I have no idea what the point was.

Maybe it was you then, Jalima

Neither do I Elgran, i just know that the definition is of moot or mute

I also need to apologise to Elgran if I offended. It was not my intention to be rude to you.

Was this it?

A point of what? Im sure he will, he has healthy daughters to help him. The fact that women were used to make such a mute point is beyond comprehension. It would be interesting to know where this actually came from. Women? women that are secure as such? I think not

I did spell it correctly and use it in the correct context (I think!)

Isn't passive-aggressive a contradiction in terms? and out of fashion now?

All words are made up. The origin of language would make a wonderful thread title, but back to globalisation...

PS. I spell 'globalisation' with 's', but that's a moot point!

Well that has taken up nearly an hour getting mute and moot nicely defined, and I still haven't started my tax return, in spite of getting daily emails from HMRC asking whether I have done it. I'll leave you lot to sort out globalisation.

Tax return? Why is it that so many GNetters seem to have to do them? Surely they aren't all running businesses or have massive investments...?

While I was typing that, the source of the mute point has surfaced! Good sleuthing, Maw

Apology accepted and thank you, SAAK. I think we will have to observe Mr T closely in the next few years to see what he achieves and whose lives he improves, or whether he is all mouth and trousers.

Tax return - I made the mistake of filling one in for the first time in a while the year after I was widowed, as there were changes to my financial position that year. They have demanded one ever since.

Oh I see - I was the same when I was widowed, and had to fill in a few forms for the IR both that year and the next, but haven't had to submit a tax return. They work in mysterious ways...
