Sorry coconut winners, I've been away all day so I have only just caught up with your winning posts. The coconuts are here awaiting your collection. Here is in the UK, postcode CT4.

Thanks for the punctuation lesson Filitsa. I did not know that American and British punctuation rules differed so much. I know the spelling of some words has been modified in the US, the one that irritates me most is "dove" as used in the past tense of dive. A "dove" is a bloody bird, it looks a bit like a pigeon.

It would have been bloody easier to teach my sons to read if it was "duv" and "kuller". Still would have to explane why two "L's" and not one though.....Good old/new Turkish language. It is much easier to read and write. BUT...........they are now starting to use the letter "Q" in places so........

Interesting thing about the letter "Q" Zan, it is always followed by the letter "U" in a word. Is that the case in Turkish?

P.S. It's comforting to see that Turkey is adopting modern practices (that is assuming the use of "Q" is a modern to the Turkish language), let's hope it continues.

Sorry for the interruption. Zan will correct me later.

Q does not exist in the Turkish Alphabet. First reason they have it is because of the imported Turkish 'X' FactorTV Show. Secondly , I may be wrong here, they are accommodating the Kurdish population in Turkey. Otherwise the sound for 'X' is covered as you say.

Aint Tuscon in Arizona???????

Toosn is spelled (spelt?) Tucson Microphone, can't you read?

Apart fom cutting and pasting into word, is there a way for the poorly sighted members to increase font size of posts. Even I with my brand new eyes have trouble as the days get longer and later in the day
Regards
DA Lena might have an answer.

View...Text size...Increase....done!!!

Unless you mean to give emphasis on something then there is a font size selection above the post box!

Let me know if you need more guidance!

Hey guys,

Keep up the good work. This Thread is funniest I have seen for quite some time. (Who said you lot didn't have a sense of humour, or is that humor)

Coming out to Pissouri next week, hope some of you are around. (Probably only have to look at the speeling on the billboards).
