So, I am a teacher but  I used to be a soldier ( a sergeant no less), and I have certainly run across the F bomb used as a noun, verb, adjective, and, as punctuation. My recent interaction with Doug, at Abbeyard, took me back to the day, but my personal peeve is the use of your, when you really mean you're on the forum.

You're is a contraction of you are. Your is not. It ain't difficult (see how I used the apostrophe there?

No pressure but I may correct your work on the forum when it gives me the shits (which is plural for more than one shit).

You may of course, reserve the right to not give a shit (singular - but that is just one shit not more than one - which is the load I am carrying).

In my defence  I would like to say, 'I work for the government, I'm (short for I am) here to help.'

Far from it, well done on the use of the apostrophe to say, I have missed letters out here and I know I have. Not sure you needed a capital F though. That suggests 'F'ed' is a proper noun, that is a place, person or thing. Mmmh, this could be alluding to, and please correct me if i'm (short for I am) wrong, that you have been, capital F, thinged, in the past.

Most of us have.

Feck off with tha grammer natzis this is a bike club but perhaps you could take up the secretary position in the club soon Peter. You need to join the committtee 1st as a general member but Im sure your correct use of grammer would be appreciated their but leave the forum alone
It is only when a mosquito lands on your balls that you realise there is always a way to solve problems without using violence

After reading your ( not you're ) post Peter ( capital ) why did I find the need to sit up straight in my chair :up:
As for your suggestion Willbar ( capital , I'm getting good at this ) we don't need smart people on the committee , it will make the rest of us look even worse than we are . Regards scotty ( oops )
