Those Wee Forum Gremlins Are Stalking Me ....

[aussielass]

I could've sworn I speak & type the Queen's English in a passable fashion, at least in order that even someone not possessed of it as their mother tongue can still understand what I'm typing or, at the very least, enough to get the gist of it.
So, how come every time I type something, the Gremlins come out of the woodwork and change my words (not wicked words, just words)?
My thread titles have fallen victim to this a couple of times - at first I thought my new baccy must've been tainted with green stuff & I was simply imagining things in my paranoia but, alas, I am am not, they really are being changed. I am disturbed, perturbed and meloncholy at this butchery boyz.

Kevin is the man to see about that, just don't call him a turd. :rofl:

Aussielass - I haven't made edits to any of your posts. Lawrence and Bubba are the only other two that can possibly do so.
I don't know if they did or not. We'll see what they say when they see this thread.
The only time that we will change a post title is for capitalization as it is a pet peeve of mine when people use ALL CAPS or all small letters on a title. To me, a thread title should be like this - This is a Proper Way to Make a Thread Title. However, it is really a low priority for me with all the other things I have to do, so it is still a rare occasion that I do that.
We try to keep the moderation of the forums as light as possible.

Morning Di,

I enjoy reading your posts, but haven't made any changes to them.

I like reading your accent and colloquialisms/slang. :D
Only rarely do I "edit" a post, and I always send a PM to let the Member know about any changes.

Generally speaking, I don't fix spelling, punctuation, or grammar. (except on very rare occasions)

I will however; move a thread to another Forum category or fix the Capitals in a title.

But, that's about it.

I'm a sucker for an Aussie accent. Don't ever change

i'm a sucker for a girl who smokes a pipe n cigars...

 

[schmitzbitz]

And I'm just a sucker...
In all seriousness though, I have to say I love reading your posts; the colloquialisms are great! It really takes skill to convey a dialect across the impersonal internet without completely butchering the language; and you lass, have it. :clap:

Giggles at you all, you're such sweet boyz ... So, that would leave Bubba, git yer hairy little ass up here & confess laddie!
Nope, not a case of caps, I'm neither verbose, bombastic or quite obnoxious enough to be found guilty of that.
Incorrect spelling/grammar - the odd accidental typo perhaps, but never a misplaced comma or apostrophe, nor a misspelt word - my keyboard is possessed and occasionally does double letters randomly, but hardly cause to rush in & modify a post.
Those to which I refer are my threads, "My First Smell of Heaven" - now something like, "My First Smell My Tobacco" - makes me sound like a dog sniffing another's ass, and, "My Weird & Wondrous Collection" became "Question About My Collection", how terribly, terribly droll!!! I happen to think a Can-Can Boot & Garter pipe and a Negress pipe, both new but c.1900 from the maker who started Italy's first Pipe Museum is both weird & wondrous in the extreme, and felt compelled to say as much.
Any more of this, and I shall take to the Gremlin's scrawny little chicken legs with my Aussie 6' stockwhip that I use to move deadly fruit bat colonies along, and then I'll cut their fingers off so they have to use their toes to type and smoke! THEN, I'll set my African Grey Parrot on to ye, the worst punishment of all!
