Just to SOGGY {No thesaurus results. Personal?} appetite: {Sentence fragment.}

My DREARY got CAPITULATE (SIC. Tense. ..ED) when a RED wave hit us while getting under HEFT, just as I was removing the SPOUSAL from the COACHED anchor AVENUE. At the same time the main INDICATION {No thesaurus results. St. Nick?} tore out so I decided to FLING FURTHER.

I wait with ENTICEMENT SIGH for the {REDUNDANT WORD the} first person to correctly identify the number of errors in this post.

....................
Noted error count: 20. Does that earn a beer?

BTW: My wife is out of area and I've got WAY too much time on my hands!

"Just to whet your appetites:

My dinghy got loose when a rogue wave hit us while getting under way, just as I was removing the bridle from the taut anchor rode. At the same time, the main clew cringle tore out, so I decided to heave to.

I wait with bated breath for the first person to identify correctly the numbers of errors in this post."

I make it spelling: 12; grammar: 6 for a total of 18.

So okay, you count them. I'm no good with numbers.

This thread is becoming way more fun than the regular programming

.

So I get the double spacing after a full stop/period is a regional/cultural thing but what is the rationale of mixing the number of line spacings between different paragraphs?

12. ..

**Adelie** · 23-09-2018, 15:55

Nope, 13 spelling errors plus misc punctuation errors, some arguable so I’m not counting those.

Let's start a Grammer Nutsy thread for the funny strange, leave this one for funny ha ha

**JPA Cate** · 23-09-2018, 16:03

Anchors a-weigh, boys!

Stu was naughty, he mixed types of errors, and did not say which types he wanted caught, so we had to look for all of them. Not only punctuation, but a split infinitive! My grammar teacher would have had a heart attack. At my school, just regular teachers taught spelling. We must weigh the errors and decide whether the prize is a bridal gown we could walk down the road in, or even sail a dingy dinghy in.

Sorry, guys, back to the regular programming.

What have I done?

**JPA Cate** · 23-09-2018, 16:59

Need you ask? You released the grammar nutsy's (thanks, john), and those people who have puns before breakfast, and buns at supper time (and others we can't mention here). 'Twas a terrible thing you did.
