I see it.

Hi Jennifer, I see you 2! The question now is can you reply to this post?

M-C

I hope so.

I can see your post Jennifer :) Sometimes people use HTML code in there post. I also get a text box that tells me if I reply in that format, others may not be able to read it. Don't know if this is the same kind of thing, but HTH.

Actually my DH thought that was the problem too but it wasn't. For some reason, just trying to reply to Marilyn's post yesterday, it kept popping up the message something about the post filter and the news server. I finally decided to do the "test post" and it went through. I still haven't tried to reply to another post yet though. I guess that is what I am doing now though. Hope it works.

It worked okay :o) Marilyn

Marilyn, I was trying to reply to your post yesterday by asking if you were from England?

Not England but close....Scotland!!!! LOL

Marilyn

Oh! I just noticed you had "Mum" in one of your folders of LO's and I have a friend in England that pronounces it that way also.

Jennifer

Yes...we have always used Mum here in the UK. I always find it very strange seeing Mom in posts...LOL Not sure why the difference since both countries use English, although there are differences between the English spelling we use and the American equivalents.

Marilyn

Oh Jennifer...did that come across as snippy!!!! Sorry if it did...was not my intention :o) That will teach me to answer posts, watch card-making on qvcuk.com and play in Photoshop all at the same time.

Marilyn

No, it didn't seem snippy at all!

Jennifer

C u Cu

Great...hate to offend anyone...email can sometimes be so impersonal :o)

Marilyn

tee hee Marilyn...I noticed that we Americans put our "o's" and "U's in different places than y'all. MOM - MUM HUMOUR - HUMOR color-colour I do love it!! But isn't it amazing that we can all understand each other just fine. LOL

a good friend is a life long treasure

I don't mind how words are spelt Sabrina but it can be a pain when using the computer. You often have to download a UK English dictionary for the spellchecker because the American English baulks at the correct spelling......LOL I believe that in the US they use a more relaxed phonetic approach to the English language, hence the dropping of "u's" in many words, and where we say socks, I believe in the US it is spelt "sox". They tried phonetics here for a while but have gone back to the old methods. My view...doesn't matter a jot as long as we all understand one another and embrace the differences that make us all who we are. :o)

Marilyn

We say/spell socks socks. lol

I must have been mislead on this or perhaps it was in Canada. Perhaps Barb can clarify on this one or I'll be up all night...LOL

Marilyn

Thanks Cecelia...perhaps that is where I got the notion from. I also lived in Australia where there has been a good dash of American influence.....particularly in television programmes. Maybe that is where I picked it up....geez......I am beginning to feel old!!!! LOL
