I second this. Hate shorthand and text speak. Auto delete messages with this.

I can look past spelling mistakes but this makes me cringe physically when I see it.

And its worse in Scottish.

As far as I know, 'French Knickers' are a style not a protected area item. French knickers can be made anywhere and be totally acceptable as French knickers or frenchies, unlike things like Champagne which must actually come from that region in France. You can eat cheddar cheese that comes from other areas than cheddar, so it's ok to be pedantic but get your pedant correct. Suppose that's me being pedantic

"I want to scream when someone uses draw instead of drawer."

I know this is a thread about pedantry, but I may be about to take it too far - anyway, my understanding is that the word 'drawer' actually comes from the verb draw, from its 'pull' meaning. The original idea of the word was that it was a container that was 'drawn' out of a cabinet, so it's possible that people who use it in that way are not wrong, they're simply cunning linguists!

I really couldn’t care less if I can hold a good conversation, if not I don’t chat to them. However if a pedant wants to get pedantic with me, then the gloves come off.

"I want to scream when someone uses draw instead of drawer.

I know this is a thread about pedantry, but I may be about to take it too far - anyway, my understanding is that the word 'drawer' actually comes from the verb draw, from its 'pull' meaning. The original idea of the word was that it was a container that was 'drawn' out of a cabinet, so it's possible that people who use it in that way are not wrong, they're simply cunning linguists!

'Nawty' is my current trigger. No adult should spell this word incorrectly. To be honest, no adult should use it in a sexual context.

I'm pretty certain that you're right, but I know that 'pull' can be used as a verb, to describe the act of pulling an object, but that you can also buy something called a door pull, which is essentially a handle, so it's just about possible that by the same logic, someone could refer to a drawer as a draw.

However, a thread on a swinging website is probably not the place to resolve this!

Whaaat? You mean us random, half naked, online people *don't* get to adjudicate on these important matters ? Bagsy not telling the politics and virus people!

"I just like things to be right and correct!

Milf, for gawds sake, you want to fcuk your mates mum, mum I'd like to fcuk, nothing else!

Now, tonight, a thread on French knickers and a couple of ladies claim they had pics of themselves in French knickers and they weren't at all!

What winds your pedantic self up?

Yup, if the label says Belgium, they are definitely not french knickers!"

They might be fries
