You would think someone would know how to spell the name of the person they quote. Right?HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:49 am I think A.E. Houseman said it best long ago:

You eat your victuals fast enough;
There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear,
To see the rate you drink your beer.
But oh, good Lord, the verse you make,
It gives a chap the belly-ache.
The cow, the old cow, she is dead;
It sleeps well, the horned head:
We poor lads, 'tis our turn now
To hear such tunes as killed the cow.
Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time
Moping melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.'”
Thanks for the heads up. Auto correct strikes again.Grandma wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:10 amYou would think someone would know how to spell the name of the person they quote. Right?HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:49 am I think A.E. Houseman said it best long ago:

Speaking of Donald Trump - Why do you feel the need to lie? I may be an idiot but I'm smart enough to know that "Auto correct" had nothing to do with your mistake.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:24 amThanks for the heads up.

Does DJT still suck? Asking for a friend, since you made a post free of any reference to that effect.
Okay, dude. I was just joking around about DJT, but obviously your day is off to a bad start.Grandma wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:31 amSpeaking of Donald Trump - Why do you feel the need to lie?

As far as your "friend", tell your "friend" that yes - Trump still sucks.
Day got off to a great start but then I made my usual mistake and allowed our President to make me shake my head and roll my eyes - and feel the need to share what he tweeted that caused me to do as such.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:40 amOkay, dude.

Autocorrect do what Autocorrect do. I don’t pretend to understand it’s ways.
I do hope your day gets better.
OK. I'm not particularly worried about it. Since I don't have a time machine, I can't go back and tell you for sure. I know that, as a former English major, I am well-aware of how to spell Housman. It is also entirely possible that I was distracted while typing my post and added the extraneous "e". I assume it is auto-correct since I wouldn't normally make that mistake. However, it's not important enough to me to argue about. It's kind of like when Plano - a supposed former LEO - posted about "marshal" law the other day. He claimed it was an auto correct issue, and I didn't care enough to argue about it.Grandma wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:54 amDay got off to a great start but then I made my usual mistake and allowed our President to make me shake my head and roll my eyes - and feel the need to share what he tweeted that caused me to do as such.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:40 amOkay, dude.

As far as auto-correct, I'm not going to argue with you but I am confident you wouldn't swear on your child's life that it was auto-correct that was responsible for your mistake. I say that having a basic knowledge of how auto-correct works and that "Housman" is not a "word" that is auto-corrected.
But hey, maybe your auto-correct (on whatever device it was that you used to make the post) is different than everyone else's. I guess that's not impossible.
