my useage of certain words...

[bigwull]

It has been brought to my attention...that i  used what was reported as a vulgar,and derogatory  word against G,acre,...had the person who reported this,read the preamble beforehand..they would, or should have realised that my useage of this word was not meant as a vulgar remark...i,ve just googled ..this word..and yes..i saw its inital meaning...and..can honestly say...my first reaction was .."shit"..now i know what they are on about...but ...where i am ..its useage is common when fronted by silly, t**t....and if you google silly t**t...it brings up an entirely different meaning...and this is what i meant..I never for one millisecond thought that i was being vulgar...and for those on here who really know me..will have realised that i meant no harm...as for the others...well they saw what they saw...and put 2+2 together...and in this instance got 5....

I knew !!

I didn't see the original post but the word is derogatory however it's used, either in friendly banter or not.


However, it's the use of punctuation that annoys me   

If i had a dollar for every !! or ..... i saw on here,i'd buy Edward Hopper's New York Movie.

I do believe if some of us laid off those 'extra' keys no one would believe it was really us posting. I find it puts a bit more personality and life into the words being read. Not to mention it's a lifelong habit that to stop would have me forever deleting and losing track of what I was saying.

Not having seen the original posts, only catching up along the way, I must add that I actually had to google to find where the offence was taken. Quite honestly, I grew up with a proper, Victorian mother and a rather reserved father………yet 'that' word and others that some may find off-putting……did not raise the same response that they would in other areas of the continent. Were I a Newf or a Caper, rather than a Bluenoser,  I'm sure my vocabulary would be even more colourful……..and quite likely, highly censored or completely misunderstood.

ok I missed it what was the word?

I guess I annoy you Ipcress with all my punctuation marks!!!  LOL

I didn't see the post in question either!!!!!!!!!!  (Sorry Ipcress...couldn't resist!) But totally agree WE ALL have to be mindful because this is a great site full of great people! (Wow, that killed me not putting a bunch of exclamation marks.)

I was raised with punctuation marks to emphasize (old school) and was further ingrained with that by texting to/from my kids and all their friends, etc.

I will work on it! (see, one exclamation mark and no pondering/trailing off dots.)

Me too Sapphire !! Evidently that word never made it to Texas !!  Of course they have invented a lot of new ones recently !! Don`t know those either !! Just know the ones from my generation !!

I was raised with punctuation marks to emphasize (old school)   Yup, same here

and was further ingrained with that by texting to/from my kids and all their friends, etc. This elicited a knowing chuckle    You did WHAT __________<<<<<(insert appropriate/autoresponse/favourite symbol/s here)

[icedgold10]

I was raised with very proper use of punctuation. I have to admit when I saw all the !!!! on here I was baffled by it. I thought people were yelling at me at first.  lol  To each his own. haha

Given this is an Antique Questions Forum it only seems sensible that one should be using vintage and antique verbiage (pre-1980).

If someone starts pushing that damnable PC crapolla then we will hafta start talking in hieroglyphics or sign language so that poor little Johnnie or Jennie's feelings won't be hurt causing them to be non-achieving handicapped individuals for the rest of their lives living off of their monthly government assistant checks.
