Thanks

Sleep deprived (and thereby grumpy) new dad of just north of Chesterfield

Don’t loose any sleep over it.

You need to losen up.

EDIT: Conrats 😉

(..and capitalise “Dad”)

Your worrying to much. Their is more important things to worry about.

It’s the loosers that come along to correct it in post number 2 that want to be having a word with themselves.

Can you be more pacific?

The gents’ loos are just along the corridor.

You gays

*guys

Shirley you can’t be serious about that bothering you

I am, and don’t call me Shirley

Is it too early to divert this into an affect/effect thread?

@OP
like off of bruneeps’ post ? Broils my piss. Literally.

I genuinely don’t know how to use affect/effect correctly…

Teach me

It’s not to early for me as I’m already effected by it

@scaredypants – yes 😀

@ Wiggles. The sound effect didn’t affect me.

Does that help?

I’m not a teecher.

Here here.

affect is a verb*

effect is a noun

(*unless your a psychiatrist)

like off of bruneeps’ post ? Broils my piss. Literally.

Been a long day………….

I thought effect could be used as a verb too?

EDIT: YES, YES IT CAN! Burn him!!

🙂

I thought effect could be used as a verb too?

hmmmm, effect a change ?
not sure – could it be an affectation ?
😳

OP

just post up a handy link

I like to use the verbal form to effect a state of confusion for those who struggle to tell the difference between effect and affect. Yes, it’s an affectation.

Hear here.

This is why I have never successfuly managed learn how to use them correctly.

DD – I think it’s possibly the first “podium/medal/otherbollocks” verbing offence

to ‘bear arms’ or ‘bare arms’
always confuses me

*whispers* I quite like some verbings of recent years. Especially the ones with a high litres of piss boiled per pedantry thread ratio.

OK

my bad

(now THAT must get your bladder bubbling ?!)

deadlydarcy – post of the week so far for me. i thank you.

If you were to bare your arms against me I might get the strangest boner. If you then were to bear arms against me, it would probably disappear quite quickly.

moved up there ^

a bear has bear arms, but not bare arms.
a shaved bear has both.
[how’s your stranger DD?]

I dunno. Keep posting. 😮

[resists googling ‘shaved bear’]

Stick a “ve” in the right spot and google away.

Salvation is here for you OP – and at last the chance of me to use something I learned at school – loose rhymes with goose, and everyone (according to my English teacher) knows that goose has two ‘o’s. Problem solved, your life saved, no need to thank me.
