There are certain posters on here
Whose spelling is decidedly queer
When questioned about it
They usually just exit
And pretend they can't spell disappear!

There once was a word called umbrage
Rarely seen on this particular page
Just as well really
Because spelling it clearly
Would cause certain posters dumb rage!

"Limericks are as the crane fleeing the hungry tiger. Trying and failing bad, no verse than not trying though." (limericks it is then!)

MB, redmist, moi? Never, chilled as always! However, call me even more cynical but I can't help wondering why I haven't had a response to my 7.58 post. I asked a couple of perfectly reasonable questions and (unusually for me!) phrased them politely. Our little furry friend has been given the perfect opportunity to explain his ongoing spelling issues and thus put me firmly in my place. All I hear is a roaring silence. (almost a haiku there!) Incidentally, I'm thinking of organising an occasional HofW competition. It would be a sort of tribute act version of WotD. Any thoughts?

Forgive my cynicism but i can't help wondering why someone who is genuinely dyslexic doesn't just use a dictionary? Ok, if you were writing long passages of hundreds of words, this might not be worth it but is it really too much trouble when posting occasional short messages of a few sentences? Alternatively, why not use one of the numerous online resources, apps etc. that are specifically designed to help people with dyslexia to spell correctly?

There, I've mentioned it, Happy now everyone?

God, I'm so sorry jacko. Must have got a bit (binary digit?) mixed up there. It's not easy you know, thicko, saddo, jacko, your posts all sound so similar! Like a sort of grotesque version of the Marx Brothers (apart from Harpo of course, he didn't actually have a lot to say) but without the talent. (wonder if should that be the Mar'x brothers?)

Oops, missed a full stop out. How about that for irony! : )

As you must be aware saddo, I have a long history of reporting posts including my own. After all, if we 're going to have standards, we may as well stick to them However mum and teach always seem forgive me. Must be my cheeky yet somehow endearing personality. You may have said bye but I doubt your posts will come to a full stop. (one for the grammarians there)

Well spotted thicko but that's not important right now. Were you aware that a binary digit = bit? You can say 24 bits with full meaning needing no apostrophe!! Woohoo!

Jesus jack, lighten up!. Who care's? : )

Just you wait saddo, Mum will hear of this! (as soon as they let her out)

By the way jack, do you think that pople who need pople are the luckiest pople in the world? : )

Crufts perhaps?

Then again, could've been the Haiku Appreciation Socety?

The Queen's English Society maybe saddog? Whilst on the subject, I would like to express my appreciation to admin for their unceasing efforts in removing from the board all those sarcastic, offensive and abusive posts. Except mine of course.
Thanks mum!

I did have a couple of hundred but sold 150 when the price dropped because I became utterly convinced that we were going broke. "Why hold onto the other 50 then?" I hear you ask. Dunno really, because I'm a moron?
By the way, NO! haiku Isn't the call of a pigeon on a tall building.

Right on cue, the belle of the ball.

Get with the programme thicko. Do you seriously think I'd have mentioned it again if it bothered me? Not exactly the smartest puppy in the litter are you? Good boy for keeping it clean this time though.

It is with great regret that we announce the sudden death of thicko's latest post. At least it didn't suffer too much, not like the rest of us who had to read it. RIP.
