Ever spent too much time formulating a post?

AskMyChocolate

Just tried to start a thread. Spent a while, as if you're starting a thread, you check your spelling/conscience a little bit more. Posted it and it didn't show up. What a waste of grammar/education/will.

FYP.

Sorry everyone. Bit ****faced. Me thread did post. It's just that everything else shows up in bold type, so I missed it. Btw apologies for claiming that my original thread was interesting.

I fail.

I spent about 5 minutes trying to creating a post which went like this:

[About 30 or 40 enters for huge empty space part in my post]

Then post: Yes.

After doing that, my post was automatically shortened, then I decided to whip out the [*COLOR=white] which worked first time. After I made about 20 lines of that, I messed up on a bracket, so I deleted the post.

How is that FYP? It makes no sense that way. The original was fine, if you read it with the correct punctuation.

Should mean something more like this:
"as if you're starting a thread, you pay more attention."

I must be missing something.

Then please point out the humour, as I'm afraid I've missed it..

I edited a post on grammar. Fact is, either way makes sense. Now stop embarrassing yourself.

Debatable humour so.

Heh mate. Thanks for the back-up. I've been thanking posts indiscriminately, as I assumed I was wrong. Good to talk again. I used to be InAllFairness 'til I lost my password. Can you invite me as a friend? I don't know how to do it and I look silly with no friends and no visitor messages:o.
Otherwise I'll have to hassle young Tom.

Eh?
What?

Gone in to chat mode in 2.4 seconds :eek:

I type away, and big mistakes I'll go back and edit later. Mini mistakes get fixed sometimes.
My posts are rarely perfect.

When i am pissed, 10 seconds might be too long spent on some of my posts:o

I have no idea what this thread is about!
But as for the grammar, liah is right, the "correction" makes no sense whatsoever!

BigDuffman

Nothing worse than coming up with a witty, grammatically correct retort, spending a few minutes perfecting it then posting to find some fiend has beat you to it That makes me a sad panda.

Jebus!! :eek: Fair play, I wouldn't have the patience to do that! How long did it take?

Probably an hour or two, after 3 cups of coffee and I couldnt get the SNES hooked up to my mother's insanely old television when I was down for New Years
