WeAreElgin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 People that feel the need to put a space before an exclamation mark or question mark. Why is this necessary ? Especially when using multiple exclamation marks !!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It annoys me how the main entrance to Pittodrie isn't symmetrically located midway along the main stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 People that feel the need to put a space before an exclamation mark or question mark. Why is this necessary ? Especially when using multiple exclamation marks !!!!!! I've noticed that the proper practice of adding two spaces at the end of sentences causes formatting issues on some web pages. One example is when new lines begin with a space, creating an apparent indent in what should be nicely aligned text. Having to remove a space to sort the issue is indeed a fair annoyance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Liver and heart are a disgrace. Both require a bit of work, but are delicious when done right. Liver in particular is like nothing else, but can give you the boak easily Wonder how many folk who turn green at the thought of offal will happily eat them in burgers and sausage, along with balls, rectum, and other bits swept up from the slaughterhouse floor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two spaces after a period went out with the introduction of proportional fonts. Took me a while to get used to that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been proper practice for a very long time. It's damn well improper practice now tbh. Actually, having to Find-Replace double-spaces in documents written by dinosaurs still in typewriterland is my PTTGOYN of the Day.

Ah if it's a sham marriage to get your citizenship you are after then I could come to an arrangement.

BFTD Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I keep reading your posts and picturing a little old Chinese man when I read them. He is Chinese, you massive lacist. (possibly; I dunno) Speaking of which, I recently learned that 'Mao' means 'Cat' in Mandarin, which is fairly obvious if you think about it. It does, however, mean that Mao Tse Tung was actually Chairman Cat, or possibly Top Cat, which I find fucking hilarious for some reason. No wonder Officer Dibble was always after him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Out of curiosity, what did they ask you in the assessment? It wasn't me, it was her. She's got a hairdressing sponsor so the assessment was 3 hours of questioning on hairdressing techniques and scenarios. Nerves got the better of her by the sounds of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 They're short on hairdressers down under? Immigration rules never fail to amaze. I remember being advised that the easiest way to get residency in the US was to form your own religion, spend a couple of years spreading (and documenting) your gospel, then apply for a visa as a religious worker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
