[Mrs Frugal]

Oh please ! Not David Seaman again .

[Egluntyne]

Sorry...my fault.

 

I thought Chookie's hormones would have calmed her down.

 

How wrong can a person be?

[Geoid]

seems this has found its way onto the wiki

[Egluntyne]

Well I never!

 

Not guilty.

[Couperwife]

strange question....

 

but why is the first letter of every word a capital letter?

 

the angels I teach do this, and it drives me insane

 

oh, sorry, little rant over

Has it been changed or am I missing something?

Think I'm missing something too

[Couperwife]

no, its ok, its not you, it been changed.

 

The Sentence Looked A Little Bit Like This One Does And Is Very Annoying (Well To Me At Least)

 

and is actually very difficult to keep up

 

thank you, who ever changed it

I hate it when the kids do that too.

 

Year 10 - ask them to write a business letter - deliberately don't mention layout or anything as I know they will do that as per a written letter but I'll teach them about that as we go.

 

Back comes letter, layout all wrong, punctuation all wrong and not a capital letter in sight. Tell them it's a letter, you need to use proper English, sentances, paragraphs, capital letters.

 

Back Comes Letter With Capital Letters

 

Tell them only to put capital letters when appropriate, back comes letter with captals at the beginning of each sentance but none for names, I etc

 

Send kid away again

 

Finally the bits they SHOULD have learned in English are right, now I just have to teach them how the layout differs when they are typying a business letter.

 

This drives me totally bananas - anyone who thinks ICT must be easy to teach think on about how we also have to teach English and then when we get to spreadsheets - Maths!

[Couperwife]

glad its not just me..

 

anyway, back to the Omlet Dictionary..

 

 

has anyone put

 

Curtsey (probably spelt wrong) another word for the little crouch thing the girls do when they have started laying.

Curtsy has gone in .

[Tessa the Duchess]

'poo soup' Omleteers home made plant fertilizer

 

Tessa

[Ain't Nobody Here]

'poo soup' Omleteers home made plant fertilizer

 

Surely this belongs in the "what have you cooked today?" thread .

 

It shall be entered into the OED .

[Lesley]

I think SarahJo was the first to use that phrase?

[Mrs Frugal]

Yes definitely orig. SarahJo . An excellent term!

[craftyhunnypie]

dance & droolygooeyumptious - I feel quite honoured!!!

 

What a brilliant dictionary everyone.

 

One other of my favourite words is piffyfied = silly / daft, not as it should be.

 

Oh and twonk = a wally!!!

 

Squiffy is a good word too = when you feel ugh!

 

There's another one of my words...UGH means horrid / not nice / gross!

 

Good fun this!

[Sheilaz]

I'm fine remembering what I had for breakfast, or indeed what I did (or wore, or said) 40 years ago.

But, haven't a clue what I did yesterday or the day before.
