It's enough to make one want to involve the Pleece, or one's sekitry.

...or one's vunrability

Pit ponies aren't of the ass group.

One that's always puzzled me is "commentator"

Why, that would be one who commentates, of course.

A lemon entry, my dear Watson.

Since the late 18th century, commentate has been used transitively with the meaning “to annotate” and, since the mid 19th, intransitively with the meaning “to make explanatory or critical comments.” These uses are now rare. Recently, commentate has developed the additional transitive sense “to deliver a commentary on” and the intransitive sense “to serve as a commentator.” These uses are occasionally criticized as journalistic jargon.

Look, it's something I posted exactly one year ago today.

Of course, how obtuse of me. Not simply one who comments at all atall.

Funny thing is, his wife now says the same things! She didn't used to. Some people say "Alls you have to do." Alls! Come on!

Aaahh

If I'd got to him by age seven, I could have cured him with the patented "Cure your child's lisp in 30 minutes or your money back" Hitcher anti-lisping programme.

Step one in this programme is to exterminate the over-indulgent and self-absorbed parent who thinks that their wee dear is gifted and encourages such nonsense. Such folk simply do not get the difference between intelligence and precociousness.
