It’s not just a typo. What it really is , is a failure to pay attention to detail which in turn indicates a lack of respect for the reader. Just call me a cranky old lady if you like, but I believe that proof reading shows respect for others.

Manadarin or manderine, please make up your mind. Personally I prefer mandarin.

I havea herb growing in my garden . It is not edible but it sure is good at deterring moths and bugs in the pantry and it’s name is Tansy.

This week I went to Woolies for an item that I regularly buy. It was advertised in their specials catalogue at $1.40. However in their store it displayed as on special for $1.50. To me that’s false advertising. I pointed this out to the person on the desk who told me that she would check it so...

Rob44 The reason that I would choose to choose to fund a scholarship for girls is that the gender imbalance is still there. The glass ceiling is still there. Funding for girls sport is way way below that for male sport. The way most of our society treat females is deplorable. Boys are favoured...

I have always said that should I win millions I would set up a scholarship fund for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds to help with their university education. This is to be judged on a handwritten essay with particular attention to neatness of handwriting and spelling. I was taught by my...

Cashless means the death of the Tooth Fairy! Say goodbye to helping children learn about money. No more grandparents giving some money to their grandchildren for a treat. No more money in a card for Christmas or a birthday. Sure there are gift cards but they are next to useless and attract fees...

My first thought upon hearing of this plan is why should I be penalised for living a frugal life and being careful with money only to have to pay more for aged care than those who spent their life splurging on drinking and smoking and gambling and living a more extravagant life. Those who have...

I wouldn’t recognise my favourite ice cream if they changed it. What happened to “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”? Oh , and as for those folk who want to drive around in their electric cars, they apparently overload the local systems where the charging stations are and they cause power outages...

Wouldn’t travel anywhere without it. Love it on toast , cheese and Vegemite sandwich, my favourite breakfast Vegemite and avocado with an egg on toast but best of all it is the best cure for painful leg cramps. At the onset of cramp I eat a spoonful of Vegemite and the cramp is gone within sixty...

I would want to ask…… what did the prepaid for funeral actually pay for?

The question was put to a group of six year olds. Put yourself into the mind of your average six year old. They don’t think in abstract terms much less be able to define it. There are admittedly several reasons why other answers could be valid but I say again …. Would a six year old think that way?

We both know that silver is also a noun but put yourself in the mind of a six year old and I think most Sixers think silver is a colour before thinking of it as a metal.

Having taught six year olds for many years I would say silver because to them the others are nouns and silver is a colour.
