The Chase.....

Q: What South American Country has 4 letters in it's name?

A: The Peoples Democratic Republic of the Congo!

PMSL!

[rockyracoon]

Lol. Pub quiz last night we had to name the top ten most known 4 lettered countries. It is wasn't wasy. We got 9.

[rockyracoon]

It must be hard  under the pressure,though.

Haven't you just been on a thread slating the grandma of others?

[ToraToraTora]

21:15, err what?

[douglas9401]

Grandma, gramma, grammar

[newmodarmy]

I think royfromaus is referring to your misuse of apostrophes twice and an errant capital letterin your question, ToraToraTora. It's not worth mentioning in my opinion but some may see it as relevant and topical in the sense that you and others have posted on a thread commenting on grammar.  It will all seem petty in the morning.

[douglas9401]

But he don't have to live like a refugee

[ToraToraTora]

21:15 Ah I see missing apostrophe! Probably the most moronic point ever made on AB and that's up against some pretty stiff competition. The post you refer to is about people who say the wrong things out of ignorance. We all make omissions and errors when bashing out a post that does not mean we believe they are correct when they are pointed out. Gawd you must be so hard up me old china.

[ToraToraTora]

21:33 Perlease!

Very good, douglas9401- Tom Petty.

Please don't shoot the messenger, ToraToraTora. (I'll wait for Douglas9401 to mention Ali Cambell and others.)

[ToraToraTora]

I'm point out the lack of any parallel here. I am not claiming my error is not an error. I just bashed out the question didn't check it back, that's all. The post refered to is not that. I'm not shooting the messanger, there is no message just an irrelevant incorrect "parallel". Surprised you cannot see that MrMod.

[douglas9401]

When in high dudgeon about checking back on answers one should really check back on THAT one. 🤣

[newmodarmy]

I'll leave you to it ToraToraTora as you seem to have hold of the wrong end of the stick.  I was trying to be helpful by explaining royfromaus's comment which you had queried. That's all. Have a good evening.

Note to self- maybe just stick to Crosswords which is why I came here. (Although in Quizzes the Scottish anagrams quiz caused some friction today!)  

[Hazlinny]

Well, you have got around in just one day!!

[ToraToraTora]

"I was trying to be helpful by explaining royfromaus's comment which you had queried. " - but you were not being helpful you were conflating an irrelevant parallel. As I have said above I know my errors. The people in the post mentioned at 21:15 think they are correct, I do not. There is no parallel. All my errors I know and acknowledge, just because I say "It's" when I mean "its" does not mean I believe I am correct, it's a typo born out of bashing a post out. If the section was grammatically dependent then I'd take more time to be accurate. It's an error, pure and simple.

newmodarmy: "It's not worth mentioning in my opinion but some may see it as relevant and topical in the sense that you and others have posted on a thread commenting on grammar." - the thread was not about grammar, it was about using the wrong words in speech.

[newmodarmy]

You really need to ask royfromaus, not me, ToraToraTora. 

 

[ToraToraTora]

Well you were taking on his case, asking me not to shoot the messenger etc. Perhaps crosswords IS a better habitat for you.
