Using Gransnet - crossings out

Well that didn't work! And I did exactly as suggested; hyphen, then used cursor to insert another hyphen in front of the initial one, no spaces, word, then hyphen and further hyphen inserted before it! 🤔

As I learned from FGT first do the hyphen - then go to the left of it and do it again so have you got this -- ?

Then write your word, then do your hyphen and again go to the left to do your last hyphen so you should then have this it’s a real long winded process though

Blimey hope I ve got it right

Just type -- then the word then -- ie - then another without a space then the word without a space then another two -
Quick and easy peasy

Ignore FGT2's instructions 😂

I don’t like them, either say what you are going to say or don’t say it.

Say what you mean and mean what you say 😁

I don't mind a crossing out deletion at all, sometimes they're very amusing.

One person here often does it to be really unpleasant- saying they would't dream of correcting a spelling or typo, but then doing so by crossing out. Just very rude and 2 faced.

You can't cross out someone else's typos or mistakes, surely?

Or am I just being thick confused here?

It worked!

confused

yay but very fiddly on my phone

Maybe another day

nope didn’t work for me either

Is it like Morse? ..-..?

It’s going to the left of the hyphen that makes the difference

It’s not easy on an iPad.

It’s hard to get it in after the word, no space if you don’t have a cursor.

I’ve never understood the lines, always thought he poster had made a mistake but it read fine to me. but then I am I bit thick. I want know if there is a delete button on here as I am always posting too soon before reading 🙄

Just ‘preview’ your message before posting.

If you have made a mistake, you can correct it.

No need to delete or edit.

The tricky bit is getting in front of the hyphen after the word in order to insert another hyphen. I don’t have a cursor, just a clumsy finger.

Definitely! Well done us eh? ✔️

I like it.
But then I've only ever seen it used humorously!

So no space doesn’t work and leaving a space doesn’t work. 🤷‍♀️

Each to their own!

No-one is being forced to use this technique.😉
