Right, I can't take it anymore tard.gif

Call me a pedant, but can everyone note that the correct spelling of this word is LICENCE!!

It's not license, licensce, lisence, liscence or lisense.

Licence is the noun form, and license is the verb, so a when a licencee has a licence, they are licensed by a Licensing Authority.

I'm just blowing off some steam here so don't anyone take it personally! icon_wink.gif

Does being a 'moderator' give you license to post this?

Yes, very good!

Any subsequent transgressions will be taken in a very dim light.... tongue.gif

Can I add disinterested and uninterested into the rant please.

It's uninterested if you mean that someone wasn't interested in something.

It's disinterested if you mean that someone is impartial!

So, a judge is a disinterested party; whereas most of the people reading this thread will be uninterested in such grammatical anal retentiveness.

Pedantry ends.

Fastshow,

Since when are judges impartial?

Could a Licensing Authority be called a Licencer? Or would they be a Licencor?

Nice Idea icon_wink.gif , however you'd better ask MR.C the webmaster, as FF is not yet an 'administrator' tongue.gif


I'd also like to point out, that 'picking' on people who cannot spell is probably covered under the governments 'discrimination' laws.

Don't pick on them, it's not their fault that the government cannae lern em oot. icon_eek.gif tongue.gif

And as my last point, as the site is hosted in the states, shouldn't the correct spelling be license laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif icon_axe.gif (sorry FF)

Look u lot, I know I cant spell, I know my punctuation is crap. I know my mind wanders and once sentence runs into another..

but I have other qualities.. which I will do my best to bring to the party. Plse dont ask what they are, my wife is still looking for them as well ! Any qualities would keep her happy.


so many apologies for all my past mistakes, and more importantly all of my future ones..
