For Newsnight: should we end universal benefits for better off pensioners?

Not regular Gransnetters, jeni - I was thinking more of the occasional provocative poster!

I don't think any of us do that !

Yes indeed, Bags!

Thanks, jeni - I had in fact Googled the wrong word, but at least I can't be accused of Knowitallism!

Let it never be said that we can't 'do weird'!

What a weird thread!

anathere is indeed both words. Mine is usually used in the context of advertising but there are other nuances of meaning.

Think I'll leave you to it.

I bow to your intentions, Humpty Dumpty!

Is there such a word as 'contextural'?

...deem to post?

It can mean having regard to the total contents a bit tautological perhaps but in the present context!

The word meant what I meant it to my dear Alice

jeni do you mean 'contextural'. !

Should we transfer this thread to Pedants' Corner?

I don't know what I am for pointing out that it should have been 'eats shoots', not 'eats grass'...

Actually they do have a mild entertainment value! Considering the paucity of contextual content!

Oh, I've just realised that I might also be a 'grammar nazi'. I take that to be a compliment.

I don't care. After the abuse I get at tribunals I'm asbestos suited

I did wonder about computer generated!!

Whatever, I find the posts entertaining.

I noticed that too but I'm already accused of being a 'spelling flamer', so thought I had better shut up.

Maybe DES. meant Textual ? got spelling wrong !!!

Surely textural is relating to texture, as in fibres rather than sending texts?

Every post by deserving has reminded me of one of those martians in the instant mashed potato commercial- Smash - I think it was called.

You were hoping for a bite then? Thought so. Once bitten the taste puts me off, so you won't be troubled by me again. It takes two to make a quarrel.

Bye.

At last, a bite from a "Spelling Flamer",and no surprise regarding shoots, makes it difficult to pretend their, there, are no "grammar nazis' on line, and no "textural bullying" (or something similar,) being attempted. Wish I was asked to review literary pieces of writing, sounds lucrative, but with dyslexia i might not be suitable, and you can't rely on American spellcheckers.(unless you are American)
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."Any need to attribute? Possibly there is, the quality of mercy seems a little strained, being Sunday, and all, innit.
Come back Whitewave it isn't always like this,Oh! Sorry, it is,but I agree with you. Hope that hasn't marked you down if you deem to post again, probably not, for that to happen you would have to agree with me.
Is "pariah" time sensitive I wonder?

Jeni you must have read enough text by enough different writers to compare styles.
