BBC in trouble Again
 

It seems that comments I made about what I'd like to do to Lindsay Lohan :norty: on a program about the most annoying people, has upset the pc brigade :D

:lol1: I watched some of that and did see Ron commenting on somebody but I cant for the life of me remember who or what he said. Any links?

Ron, if that's who you're pretending to be, couldn't you at least have spelled your name correctly? :wonder:

And hers, come to mention it. :wonder:

what were the comments???????? :D

It doesn't elaborate on what sort of bad taste it would leave... :Suspiciou

And viewer's should be viewers' :mad:

No, it could be that there was just one viewer with more than one mouth ;)

Shut up :D

:rolleyes:

Have you got nothing better to do than picking up on grammatical errors on a car enthusiast’s forum? :D

Enthusiasts', Chris, for the same reasons. :razz:


Put me on ignore, problem sorted. :)

hes not never had nothing worser too do :thumb:

It's repeated this evening on BBC 3

Was waiting for it. :thumb:

Hmmm, shouldn't it just be car enthusiasts, as in the plural of a car enthusiast? ;)

As in a forum for car enthusiasts, we don't own it.......

Geezer

Talk about going off topic. :mad:

Thanks to Telboy! :D

You'd have to write it as a forum for car enthusiasts, then. :lol1:

Note even a bite wwsd :lol1:

No, not given that i've known WWSD for many years and we know when a joke's a joke :lol1:


:rolleyes:

Guys, can we please not turn this into a bun fight over standards of English, .

I've said it before: the T&Cs do not require that everyone articulate every post they make perfectly, just that they make an effort. An incorrect use of an apostrophe here and there is no cause for anyone to get their knickers in a twist!

If folks start using text speak, or abuse punctuation in a manner that renders their posts unreadable, then we will act.

In the meantime, please disregard the odd error, if only for the sake of keeping the thread on topic! ;)

Cheers,

Thing is, NS04, my original post wasn't even directed at any post made by anyone on here, it was just escalated unnecessarily. :)

If my posts about grammar and spelling on here offend you, delete them. I shall continue where i think appropriate. Cheers. :)

But you are not mod, you just like to think you are. :thumb:
Leave the grammatical up keep to the officials.

I know, I know.... but I think a clarification of the rules was necessary so the SN position was clear.

I think this whole issue requires a bit of understanding and tolerance on both sides: you need to understand that not everyone will aspire to your high standards, furthermore, the T&Cs do not require that they do.

However, there is no need for people to get so uptight should you point an error out, especially if the comment wasn't aimed at them! :) Tolerance works both ways :)

I have a lot of time for you, Tel. You're a constructive member of SN, so i would just politely ask you and anyone else who appreciates the finer points of composition: feel free to give constructive pointers, BUT if you can see that being a bit pedantic about someone's English is winding them up, take the high ground and let it go rather than aggitate them.

No one benefits when threads go off topic and turn into bun fights! And a perfectly articulated bun fight is still a bun fight! :thumb:

All the best,

Ns04

PS. lets get this thread back on topic!

You reckon? :lol1: 5 years here and you know that little about me? Nice :D

NS04 i'm not reading all that :razz:

I have. :smug:

Ok, now i've seen his attempt at agitate :mad:

Like RJ really gives a monkeys what other people think of him.

Personally you can keep Ronson, shes clearly the bloke in the relationship. Why in a lesbian relationship does one quite often look like a bloke? Seems to defeat the object IMO.

Well, you wouldn't be happy unless I got something wrong! :razz:

Ron - What did you want to do to Lindsay Lohan?

I know what I'd like to do to her!! :norty:
