Reading what you think is there!

Love it, sodapop! I was thinking of the headline which said that an elderly man had been hit by a car crossing the road with a walking aid....

It reminds me of the joke I read in a very old joke book when I was a child - 'For Sale: piano by elderly lady with Queen Anne legs"

tinafl, It's annoying when that happens. I know I've corrected the predictive text and yet my correction gets overridden. Sometimes I've made a correction more than once but no the the computer seems to think it's correct and I'm not.

Typos and spelling mistakes don't bother me. Not everyone can spell every word and typos are an easy slip of a finger. I read on. It's the sense of a post that matters I think, whether it's comprehensible or not.

I do tend to notice typos but they don’t bother me at all, as long as the post makes sense. I used to correct my own posts if I noticed an error afterwards, but don’t do it these days. We all make mistakes and we’re not writing exam pieces here.

Correcting other people’s posts is very rude. As for pm-ing you about it, Charleygirl, words fail me!

I read what I thought was there in a post yesterday and missed the subtle and clever real meaning entirely.
As soon as I woke up this morning I got it and thought Duh!
My brain must have worked it out in my sleep.

There’s currently a thread, ‘Cabinet Infighting’. I keep reading it as Cabin Infighting and I have glorious visions of airline pilots in a pistols-at-dawn situation in the aisle of the First Class cabin.

I won’t read the thread in case it shatters my dreams.

I was a Saturday girl in the Co-op in my teens - working on hosiery. Can’t remember how many times I was asked for 2 pairs of black man’s socks!

My Mum used to write us a letter every week when we first married, bless her, it was one long sentence, no punctuation at all!
I saw Pointless last night and read orgasm instead of organism in one definition!!

Juliet27,

That was a very interesting post vegansrock It can be read at the same speed as normal too!
I was convinced I would stumble over some words but somehow it all made sense.
Fascinating.
