You are right Cashy...I didn't get out...too much cleaning to do...too many babies to look after.

I had never actually heard that word until one day I caught himself watching Jeremy Vile(Kyle).....hideous program.
So, yes I have led a sheltered life.

How about texes? As in, 'I keep getting texes from him/her' or 'I texed him last week'
Or Draklia as opposed to Dracula?

Re: Is it just me?

Time to revive an old chestnut: dilemma vs. dilemna. Some on here still insist that the latter is the correct spelling.

Re: Is it just me?

I am a member of an internet group where people post things they want, as well as things they have and don't want (A Freecycle type local group).

Somebody has just asked if anybody has any spare 'Bombfire' material.

BOMBfire?!?

Re: Is it just me?

My ex, is Irish, she always pronounced film as flim, when trying to correct herself she couldn't manage it, she would say filem.

Irony is...

She was a hard worker managed to get promoted to Manageress of a Cinema.
It was wonderful on the occasions someone rang up and she answered the 'phone for inquiries about what was showing.

"well the flim, sorry the filem", is such and such.

She was years ahead of the confusion we get when ringing up now.

Sorry G no insult intended.
