A thread which avoids the use of...

I am fairly sure that we could well have met our match with the verbose dextrosity of the good doctor. He must have swallowed a thesaurus, deliberately.

The doctor probably has limited regard for time participles which trip people up the most, coming from the future....

<Rhythm Thief>You missed out several apostrophes</Rhythm Thief>

So you really are out now!!!!!

Cheers Dave. Saves me a job.

Cheers Dave. Saves me a job.

You're very welcome. Always happy to try to spread the burden and help out where I can.

Apostrophes? Give me a break here! Have you the slightest idea how hard it was to phrase the above post?

I am aware that the use of apostrophes to show plurals ( such as the phrase Apple's £1/kilo) shows a lack of correctitude, but I am possessed of a lack of wisdom with regard to the possessive apostrophe. So I usually try to avoid it, except where I am forced to by lack of a letter that I would use in other times.

*that showed a lack of ease too. I doubt 'correctitude' is actually a word*

Oy! Doctor!!!

hehehehehehe... the over zelous rookie

Oy! Doctor!!!

Rephrased.
I shall at this time leave the thread. I am clearly short of the required clarity of thought & phraseology.

verbose dexterity - Gratitude! I do my best

It's the small details which have been my problem here
I shall at this time give up.

I arrive at work, filled with delight by the glorious weather today, to discover a thread, a diabolical thread, that will tax both my thoughts as well as my lexigraphical skills thoughout the few hours that I will stay at work.

It is possible to form whole paragraphs without the use of the specific letter, but it surely stretches a chap's skills with both the keyboard (remove the key ?) plus his ability to read a proof.

The perpetrator of this devious delight of a thread must be applauded.

(I will refuse to add the usual autograph because the epithet my Mother gave to me would void my post)

I have arrived at this thread a little late, but I am aware that it is quite a task which is set for us. I have had to drop my usual tag as well.

I am thirsty. I shall go to the device that purveys beverages, for a cup of hot chocolate, before I say more.

I seem to remember that that is the fate of most threads.

Should be stopped for you now pal!

I have just realised that I left my tag attached to my last post. May I be excused?

Have you observed, if you quote, the said letter is used at the top of the quote. All quotees are out I believe!
