Here we go again folks, well I managed half the week on this no carb diet, so the scales will show tomorrow.

Good luck smile

Learn - learnt
Burn - burnt
Earn - earned?
English is such a strange language, I feel sorry for those that don't have English as a first language

Going wildly off thread for a moment (sorry everyone but it's jeni's fault for asking about paid/payed) I had a discussion a few days ago about the spelling of the past tense of "earn" - for example: your earn you salary but what is the past tense - is it "earnt" or "earned"

Jeni You're among lots of wrinkly friends here grin

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 21:01:01

Wasn't the spell check. Both are valid! It 'twas me 'Father I cannot tell a lie! Lye? Lye?

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 20:58:10

Well! Skin(wrinkly)bound?grin

Anagram Sat 11-Aug-12 20:49:04

jeni - get that spellcheck working properly! It 'corrects' things that don't need it, and doesn't correct things that do...!

And I certainly don't think you're hidebound, at all.

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 20:46:54

Thanksgrin

Paid! smile

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 20:42:59

smile I'm not bothered! I'll just go to bed soon. I've still got two days tribunals to read for next week.
If I work 4 days it takes me at least a whole day to prepare! I only get payed for the 4 days and that at a rate a consultant would charge for an hours consultation!
NOT WELL PAYED!

I know I'm better paid than a lot of people pro rata! BUT!

Pedants! Help!

Payed or paid?confused

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 20:12:50
