Moleskin Replicas

[Pussinboots]

Are these notebooks any good? I saw some earlier in Sainsburys and they are much cheaper than Moleskine, they only have them in black and tan though and I'd like more colours.

My Spelling Chequer

 

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

OMG. I was afraid to click on the thread but I'm so glad I did.

 

I thought it was going to be about someone fondling Heros or Jinhaos.

I have an A5 lined black version which is pretty good, ditto the same from ASDAs executive range

Sorry, but I had to click this. Title was hilarious!! Reminds me of when I was using Google text to speech and said the word "them". Google typed in dam*. I erased it and said "them" enunciating. Again got "dam*". I got a little frustrated and said "them, THEM THEM!". Google typed "Dam* DAm* DAM*"!!

Eish, guilty for looking.

This delightfully reflects how words change meaning by public knowledge. This word was a euphemism for a crime that may not be mentioned, so the polite word for interfering with a person's normal progress was used. But then everyone got to know what they were talking about, and would giggle at the normal correct usage. It would at one time have been wholly correct to say "the Boer caravan was molest by British forces". Not now though. Try using that phrase in a modern history class, full of prurient boys.

Stop fondling your paper, you'll get cut.

Ah yes, the Boer War. Guess the Brits needed more firepower. Why stop at molesting the caravan when you could annihilate it?

[Flounder]

pussinboots, any GSM label on the sainsbury ones? I noticed ASDA have some new stuff in too, but nothing to indicate how good/naff the paper inside is.

Not "molested"?

 

So many words in English acquire a specific meaning or nuance over time; I have great sympathy for those who have to learn it from scratch and admiration for those who do it well.
