Fanny Adams 7 Posted August 11, 2009 Actually, I DON'T care about people's grammar, spelling, etc. At all. Not in the SLIGHTEST. It was a JOKE. JOKE That some people didn't "get". Beth did, 'cause Beth gets stuff! And as far as the "Queen's English", since when did Elton John get his OWN language? :wub: HH I think it was passed on to him after Freddie Mercury died. :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nanook 2 Posted August 11, 2009 Fanny I asked my daughter about your spelling and she said that it was correct if you were in England, which I'm sure is what you meant by the Queen's English. I am constantly bugging my daughter how to spell words and she'll first ask me if I'm in England or the US. She's a linguistics major and it really pisses me off!!!!

Fanny Adams 7 Posted August 11, 2009 Ooops. Please allow me to correct that. If I win the Opossum/donkey show....And was it really necessary to capitalize NEVER?? And, I'll touch your Queen any old time I want. If I ever get my passport back again that is. Don't ask, don't tell, my friend. Airport security was very curious about the contents of MY purse :smile2:... TPG There you go again. There are only two o's in oops; yes, it was entirely necessary to capitalise NEVER; you have started not one but TWO sentences with "And"; and you'll touch the Queen at your own risk!! Be warned, the penalty is quite severe - you could be subjected to a very stern letter to the The Times and, believe me, you wouldn't want to risk that!!

RestlessMonkey 7 Posted August 11, 2009 What an improper question! One should know that one never reveals the contents of one's Queen's purse! The very idea!! :smile2: Just for your information, one should also know that one NEVER lays hands upon one's Queen - a lesson that, sadly, TWO of our Prime Ministers failed to learn...sigh... Still, while we might also be rude and ignorant colonials like our American cousins, AT LEAST WE CAN SPELL!! :wub: If one never lays hands upon one's Queen, then how does one get one's heirs...the princes, the princesses? Inquiring monkeys wonder just what lays what on what to effect that process. Meaning, of course, no disrespect to Her Majesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nancy of da northI'm in Australia, Nanook, and we still use the English spellings for most things. It's quite odd really - if you look in an Australian dictionary, half the time it will list both the US and UK spellings and say that either is acceptable. However, amongst the older generations (of which, sadly, I am a member) using US spellings is very much frowned upon. It's also always great for a laugh to tease Americans about their spelling . It's almost as much fun as calling a Southerner a "Yank" and then pretending ignorance of the difference *whistles innocently* :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePoolGirl 1 Posted August 11, 2009 And, does the Queen have a lap band? Ooooops, hope I'm wrong there. I do not care for newspapers. I watch TV for all my information. And I believe whatever I read. And Monkey agrees with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
