Minor Rant Thread part 4

[Alison]

People calling bROad beand bORed beans, sorry not much winds me up but that really does, doesn't matter on this thread but would b*gger up searches on one of the proper gardening threads and it's one of those annoying "in" jokes (again!)

[Jeanied]

Sour grapes

Tena pads........never to hand when you need one

[SarzWix]

From a search point of view, Alison's right. 'Bored beans' wouldn't come up if someone was searching for broad beans. It does my head in too, along with potato's tomato's raspberry's strawberry's and all the other things I have to go changing in thread titles to make them searchable... Spelling mistakes are easy to make, but the 'bored beans' thing is a choice innit?

[SarzWix]

Oh, and while we're at it, thread titles with excessive amounts of punctuation also quietly do my bonce in. Do we really need half a screen's worth of question marks, exclamation marks and/or full stops after a three word title? Wouldn't one or two do...........................................???????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people who say, 'I'm very weary of her/it/them'
You aren't weary, you're WARY, they don't make you tired, they make you worried, otherwise, every time you saw them, you'd develop narcolepsy.
And then I could stop trying to strangle people in work...everyone wins

[singleseeder]

... people who use the word less when they mean fewer. If you can count them, its fewer

Less sugar but fewer sugar lumps.

Even news readers on the beeb get it wrong.

due for or to what? [sorry, i couldn't help it after the last rant....]

and...working 12 hour shifts is doing my niceness quotient no good at all. I'm getting less and less tolerant, and one day, it'll be 'I don't like mondays' and physical violence but probably with an extra dense courgette and a few prickly pears...i leave where I'll be putting them to your imagination....

Bloody daughter who used ALL my Ibuprofen tablets and left the empty packet in the cupboard, so that when I had neuralgia at 11.30 last night the only painkiller I could find in the house was the baby's Calpol

A friend of mine says 'Swearing and Bad Language!' when she needs to rant. Lovely lady but when she says this you know she's mega-cross!
