Good Morning Sunday 14th December 2025

I think it’s because MD used the word ‘asterisk’ which is a *

I used asterisk to describe how to show words in bold.

In my world ^ is called a circumflex.

I am duly chastised and chastened, but cannot work out what my error is. A lot of fuss about nothing.

P.S Wildswan understood my instructions, she bosted in bold.

Good morning everyone from rainy Lancashire.

Despite the heavy rain MrB and I have been for our usual walk around the dock. Lovely to see all the smiling faces on the Santa train. I can’t resist waving.

Still no prescription, I’m resigned to a delay as it isn’t a common drug so probably wasn’t in stock. I had a better night anyway.

I’m thinking of our poorly grans and those with troubles, as always.

Wishing you all a good day, whatever you’re doing 🦩🦩🦩

Are lessons over for the morning? Always good to learn something new without having to ask a grandchild! Have been to church this morning but am keeping well away from people (no communion or after service coffee) as I am still snivelling and coughing and don’t want to give it to the village as a Christmas gift. Am also cancelling various nice things at least until Thursday though in fact I don’t really have the energy for much. An afternoon with the television beckons ………

Caret is the name for a ^ sign. I’ve just looked it up.
Not carrot 🥕

not

WhiteSwan originally asked how to do our names in boldot italics.

Sorry Christmas pedantry here! I’ve too much time on my hands…

And being a pedant the word is italic.
One L.

Well they say everyday is a school day and I’ve learned a lot this morning about text on here. I was also going to ask about the line through the sentence which always makes me smile when I read Marydoll’s posts. Of course I could have googled but why would I when there are such delightful teachers on here. I am fairly new to GN.
Thankyou everyone 💐

-- before and after word or sentence. No spaces

Every day is a school day!

Bluesapphire that is a gorgeous reindeer

I am going to jump in here Marydoll and ask how you manage to put a line through some words? It always amuses me. 🤭

I'm going to post everything in itallics today.

FGT May I respectfully ask you to look again at MD's advice regarding italics? You will see, on closer inspection the tiny ^ sign. Just saying.

Aldom Thank you!. 🥰

fgt, ^ before and after words, gives itallics.
I'm not sure what you think my error is. #puzzled of Glasgow.

Good morning all.

Morning all.
For once I have something to talk about!!
Yesterday it was DD1 ‘s birthday, so today our small family,
Dd1 and ds-out-law, dd2, dsil and our only grandchild, (a delightful 11 going on 21 young lady), are going for Sunday lunch at our local pub/restaurant.
Maryd you are an inspiration. Hope things progress quickly Jax. Wishing all with health and family worries some relief.

That doesn’t give italics Marydoll - the asterisks give bold.
The little inverted ‘v’ sign (it’ll have a name but I don’t know it) is the one before and after a word, or sentence that gives italics.

Good luck WhiteSwan practice makes perfect. 😊

Marydoll you have described exactly how I felt when I got the phone call from the dr🙈😩feeling slightly more positive today!

I too thought it was Grammaretto’s house🤦🏼‍♀️what a pair we are Marydoll🤪

Good morning from a bright and sunny W Kent. But of a dash this morning as I am doing lunch for seven, not so quick at it all now. Both DGD’s are able to come, I love watching them chat together.
Very best wishes all round

Grammaretto, I wasn't quite paying attention and thought that was your home.🤣

No you are not!
Never too late to learn.
