Using Gransnet - crossings out

Can anyone tell me why some people’s posts are partly crossed through? There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and it is puzzling me. Does Gransnet do it? I can’t see it being the poster as, surely, they could just delete the bit that shouldn’t be there.
I’d love to know!

This thread has been quite entertaining, I was needed a mood lift. wink

Ok, I'm being thick 😂
Can you cross out an emoji?

Just another one to check by jove I have finally managed it on my iPad.

It is rather fiddly though, and I have tiny nimble fingers!

It is fiddly on an iPad GG13!

Ah bingo! Just typed 2 hyphens, no going to the left after the 1st one, just typed them one after the other. 😊

But it is a faff on an iPad.

Think I will carry on doing without the crossings out, but feeling smug knowing how to do them if the need arises.

Well that's marvellous that so many have learnt a new technique but could I request that people just say what they mean instead of crossings out please..

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 10-Feb-25 21:52:23

I don’t think you understand pascal why it’s used. It’s an amusing poke at one’s own thoughts. Self deprecating. I think it’s gone over your head (and those of a few others).

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 10-Feb-25 21:53:11

Me too Calendargirl! Knowledge is Power girl. 😁

Yes, that's it.
Laughing at yourself.
Or should that be oneself?

It is a technique I like to use, when poking fun at myself and I shall continue to do. wink

I wonder why it doesn't work on some devices and only a straight line appears?

Flipping heck! What a exhausting thread.
What a lot of fuss over a line. The mind boggles.
Ohh, but do I need a line through the word line??? 🤔 _ __
