Reporting things

Elegran says it all (as ever)

So why did GNHQ delete them in the first place?

No idea Calendargirl that's why I queried it with GNHQ! But they were very nice about it, said they'd go back and check, did so and then confirmed the posts were absolutely fine and would be reinstated.

If they just delete posts willy nilly because one particular poster doesn’t approve of it, for whatever reason, then no wonder there are so many deleted posts. Good point!

others,and missing space between the comma and "and".

daresay daresay is not a word in general usage, correct usage is "dare say"

I think that Elegran doesn't pay enough attention to getting the spaces in the right place.

Not nice, is it?

Comment on the content of the posts, the questions, the ideas of the poster. Commenting on the spelling/punctuation and drawing assumptions about the poster's actions is bad form.

I agree, it's not nice to comment on people Grammar, I have done well in life but left school with only a couple of O levels, I accept posters on here are, ex teachers, and have been to Uni

I use the dots for a pregnant pause…

Sorry pressed too soon, I know they punctuate far better than me, but we are not all from the same back ground and I think people should factor that in before criticising.

Hear hear volver ?

Someone tell the Cambridge dictionary they are wrong.

Patronising. I wonder why the Cambridge dictionary doesn't feel the need to inform that correct usage is "dare say"

That’s strange and disconcerting. I had three posts deleted on one thread a while ago. Wish I’d asked why . I didn’t bother because it was one of those polarised, no compromise rather unpleasant threads with report buttons working over time
You’ve mAde me wonder if I and others were deleted without due process ?

Ohh, in the last 24 hours I've been called patronising and condescending. What shall I go for to get a third description?

I know.

Aggressive?

" others,and " Sorry about the typo that missed the comma.

Actually I have a couple of bugbears. Why do people use “can I” when they mean “may I” and “less” when they mean “fewer”? Also, who is going to mark our posts out of ten?

Can I just ask why you always use three full stops instead of just one?

It's not three full stops, it's an ellipsis, used for a breath-taking pause in speaking and reading.

Aggressive?

Fair enough. I prefer "assertive", but hey ho. ?

Of course, one doesn't need to take a breath-taking pause while reading but it's the same idea – a lesser break than a full stop.

I do all of that……(my bad)

Not bad. It's a casual discussion forum, not and essay-writing competition.

*an not and

Blossoming that was so quick!

It's a casual discussion forum, not and essay-writing competition. It is, and as long as we can understand what's being put across, it really doesn't matter if a post is spelt, or punctuated, to A Level standard does it?
