Tortology

Guilty of what?

(and if you've been 'away', how did you manage to post on other threads but ignore this one!) Weird...

LuckyDucky what do you mean about tautology on this thread?We demand to know!

LSS... Language and Social Sciences?

We have tried asking and been ignored, just as I tried to ask luckyducky about her comments on the care home topic, but I was totally ignored.
AIBU to expect that a member might do one the courtesy of a reply?

There are some things there is just no answer to....I fear this thread is one of them.

LSS is not one of the acronyms I am familiar with What does it mean?

Having just read the 'Life on a Liner in the 50s' thread, I think it might be kinder to leave LuckyDucky to her own devices/reminiscences.

AIBU to be scratching my head over this one?

I haven't seen a Life on a Liner thread but I think perhaps we need to take a kinder approach for now

I don't think anybody is being unkind in asking OP to explain what she meant when we are frankly puzzled.
If members can put themselves out to ask or comment, why AIBU to hope they might not be ignored?

I rather like the spelling as 'tortology' - sounds like a study of things that are wrong (French) or the bad work of a tortfeasor.

I don;t have too much trouble with tautology, speaking for myself, personally like... (oops!)

Hello and thank you to:
ana, bella, nina luckyg ruby eleg alea.

Apologies to all who took time and patience to post something witty
or an explanation.

How do you remember all the subject you posted?
I don't know how to navigate back to the list of posters people once
I've previewed my reply. There isn't a face for feeling dumb - feel I've proved there should.

Here's an example, what is ON? Maybe I'm posting above my weight here

So it WAS the extra gin and tonics then? A moment of mad posting?

Nice to hear from you LuckyDucky

ON? Did you mean OP? (Original post(er) )
The emoticon you might be looking for is or I should know, I use it enough.
It can be useful to click on "I'm on" from the bar at the top of your screen if you want to look at threads you have posted on/started without trawling through all 50 Active Conversations
I think some of us are still curious as to what your first post was actually about?
Finally, please, please what does LSS stand for??

As this is pedants corner, dare Impoint out that some examples of tautology are actually pleonasms?

It could be 'long story short' - that was in the list of acronyms I looked at - forgot about it, TBH

Thank you Ana!
And Atqui I freely admit I had to look that one up and among examples I was amused by

"A malignant cancer could be described as a pleonasm for a neoplasm"

Hello girls, hope you're all OK with that term.

Thank you for all your posts. nona's response showed the trap I constantly drop in or is it into?

Come on, own up, is there one who knows she has to check her post for Tortology?

Lots going down in our moat-less duck house.

Loved all your posts and, thanks for taking time to answer

I'll be here one day and possibly absent for next for a few days.
I'm not deliberately ignoring anyone, so please don't take offense.

dltbbb tonight.

Well, that made no sense to me at all, and I don't know who nona is, but I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, LuckyDucky

Well call me unreasonable, but if I had started a thread, I might just be bothered to see what response I had got, clarify any confusion if my initial post made no sense whatsoever was less than clear, and answer any questions other posters wanted to ask me
#clearlynothowsomepeopleoperate

BellaNONA possibly ?

ditbbb ?

Apparently 'dlttbb' stands for 'don't let the bed bugs bite'...

Oh and BTW we're not all girls/females Lucky

Alea I think Lucky means the "I'm on" button but who knows
