X-13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Why the purple ones?! Purple is the best colour, so it makes the best snack? Das Edit: @witch... why did you edit mine and @GrumbleDook's posts? Edited February 5, 2013 by X-13
witch Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Because there is no apostrophe in "its" when using it in the possessive form (his, hers, its). It should have one, but it doesn't because the apostrophe is reserved for the shortening of "it is" Pedantic? Me? NEVER!!

I'm imagining you pulling a face like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]17032[/ATTACH] "Bad grammar... Bad grammar everywhere... must... edit..."
witch Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I know, I know. I do try very hard to ignore it but it is soooooooo hard. Besides, I'm not a brilliant techie so I have to be good at something - CVs and grammar (with a side serving of spelling) - that's what I do. Yes, I did see that one - it is obviously a typo but why on earth it wasn't picked up before they printed it out several feet tall is beyond me [
X-13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Did you see this beauty when you were at BETT? That's the legitist of legit spelling. Dosen't = dose not. It's their anti-drugs campaign.

Edu-IT Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Did you see this beauty when you were at BETT? [ATTACH=CONFIG]17033[/ATTACH] I think they did it on purpose to see how many people commented on it.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm surpriased Witch hasn't mentioned our stand yet - - - Updated - - - I clearly meant to spell surprised that way...
witch Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm surpriased Witch hasn't mentioned our stand yet - - - Updated - - - I clearly meant to spell surprised that way... As if I would - anyway, it wasn't me that mentioned a stand at all. Quite frankly, there were too many typos to mention which made me very sad

Quite frankly, there were too many typos to mention which made me very sad I'm sure a strongly worded, and grammatically correct, letter is in order. surpriased Supriased: The art of being both surprised and biased.

Is this the time to say you only found one of the two mistakes? #lovesgivingpedantswork
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Supriased: The art of being both surprised and biased. I love it! I shall now spend today trying to fit it into as many conversations as possible!
X-13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I love it! I shall now spend today trying to fit it into as many conversations as possible! Wait... have I just invented a word?
X-13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Awesome. I can't think of how to use it in a sentence though...
plexer Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Groupcall also had a typo in their stand artwork. One of the lines included "oft heir" Ben
witch Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Is this the time to say you only found one of the two mistakes? #lovesgivingpedantswork But I have to limit my pedantry otherwise it would take over my life - and it is the one that MOST ANNOYS me Edited February 5, 2013 by witch
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Awesome. I can't think of how to use it in a sentence though... Neither can I. You may have just invented the worlds coolest, most useless word! 1
X-13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) You may have just invented the worlds coolest, most useless word! Sounds about right. Das EDIT: Thinking about it, it sounds a bit sarcastic. Like if [company] came to look at the DIY touch table and were impressed [surprise] with it, but insisted that their version is still better [bias]. Or testing an iDevice, commenting on excellent build quality and responsiveness but then bemoaning lack of flash support and concluding the MS Surface is better...

Earthling Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 But I have to limit my pedantry otherwise it would take over my life - and it is the one that MOST ANNOYS me You SHOULD OF limited your pedantry years ago, then you WOULD OF been free of it and COULD OF had a normal life.

I find that a bit of constructive sarcasm here and there helps get things moving. Your word is no longer useless! *nods*
Ric_ Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) If you guys think missing letters out of words is bad... imagine missing something out of a whole picture? Edited February 5, 2013 by Ric_ 3
