You Know Who You Are

[Jordyboy9]

So I am easily annoyed,I should grow a pair,don't read it
What am I on about?
The bastardisation of the queens English.
I could understand if it was children but to see grown adults talk about pooters,lappys,pressies,makes me wonder,
Are they trying to capture their youth?

^ Rings a bell.

[Mamyalynne]

You are aren't you.

[ladybirder]

There weren't any pooters or lappies in my youth Jordy:-( What about you?

[pastafreak]

It's only current slang Jordy. In my view, nothing too bothersome.
What does bother me are text abbreviations such as 'ur ' for your or you're.

[Spicerack]

Nor Lols.

[1ozzy]

Oh dear.
Upset again, or still?

One would have thought a 6'4" Jeff Chandler lookalike ex marine who holidays in "exotic" places could rise above such trivial issues

[douglas9401]

Do you get repeat fees for this stuff?

[jackthehat]

Jordy - this is the umpteenth time you have had this particular dig at that particular ABer.

Surely you must have better things to post about?

[anneasquith]

Jordy s work on ab is completely voluntary. :’)

[Spicerack]

Ah. Is it aimed at one person?
I thought it was just a general gripe.

[Mamyalynne]

Not involuntary, like a tic?

[wolf63]

You usually only post to moan about something jordy, one day you will have a real problem that you need help with or a genuine reason to moan - and nobody will take you seriously.

The bastardisation of the queens English.
I'm not English but should it not be 'The bastardisation of the Queen's English?'

[Baldric]

These posts are getting more and more tedious, guess it's his age ;o)

//Do you get repeat fees for this stuff?//

AB gets advertising payments for every "hit".

Jordyboy could possibly be a revenue raiser, just like the bloke at the fairground that sticks his head out through the hole in the board for the soggy sponge toss ;-)

[Rockrose]

Jordy rise above it mate it , it’s only done to get a reaction, as most of the posts are x

[pastafreak]

Ps jordy...the Queen's English is constantly changing. Has been for a good few centuries.

[anneasquith]

Well is any thread better than no thread on AB ?

[1ozzy]

Probably right there Anne.

Anything to keep AB afloat?

[Old_Geezer]

Are perpetually falling standards, and a dumbing down of the human race's intellect, a trivial issue ?

[naomi24]

I dislike those silly terms too - lappie, hubby, pressie, etc.
