Sorry, I couldn’t help it.

That’s okay, David. Glad you could join us, even if it was to point out a spelling error.
Most of us learn to overlook such errors, since not all of us on-line have the same capabilities.
Right on…ridiculous. Thanks for the correction.
I am afraid I have to disagree. On the Sublime to Redikulus Branch line, the name comes from Mt. Redikulus which has the correct spelling according to the guy who named it. However, some of the railroaders recognize that the spelling “rediculous” has become more wide spred among people who have gone to one of those fancy school things.
Those who model the Hogwarts Express know that “Ridikulus” is the way to banish a Boggart.
Allright guys…get away from the Christmas punch bowl AND THE EGGNOG with Captain Morgan !!! lol
Nog and Morgan is a GREAT Christmas combo. I’ll be trying it later this afternoon while running trains.

Whoops, get the big hook ready, put the work train crew on notice.

Beat me to it…
Ehh I look at this way. If he want’s to drink and engineer that is his buisness. After all they are his trains. On the other hand he shouldn’t come whining to us when the first or second and may even third engine and car jumps the track and does a Cannonball straight into the concrete (Ahh the scores are in and it’s a very disappointing 2 across the board with the French judge giving it a 1. Well Dick that doesn’t really surprise me what with the TGV and the spectaculor nature of thier crashes.). BUT I will give him lee-way to whine if he can capture the wreck on film and it is spectaculor.
All this being said…Don’t drink and drive kiddies. You might hit a bump and spill your drink.
I tied to hughes spill chick, butt id said this was all write.
This tread is abserd.
And while we’re at it:
Loose = not tight (note something not tighter is looser)
Lose = you didn’t win or somethng of yours went missing. (If you just can’t win, you’re a loser)
There = It ain’t here, it’s over yonder
Their = Possessive pronoun for they
They’re = Contraction of “they are”
Your = Possessive pronoun for you (as in: your hobby)
You’re = Contraction of “you are” (as in “you’re a loser” rather than “your a looser”).
It’s = Contraction of “it is” (“It’s a boy!!!”)
Its = Possessive pronoun for it. (“The magazine has lost its cover”.)
There’s more but it’s to be saved for another day. I’m sure you’re glad of that.

But we all DO have access to online dictionaries.
More gooder? Would more of a good thing constitute a negative?

More gooder? Would more of a good thing constitute a negative?
No, no, no. It’s like cheese, man.
Gouda, Bettah, Bestah
Havarti, Havartier, Havartiest
Cheddar, Cheddarer, Cheddarest
Stilton, Stiltoner, Stiltonest
Swiss, Swissier, Swissiest
Provolone, Provoloner, Provolonest
It’s for the toast everyone’s complaining about.

Gee, I didn’t know they let anyone with that much knowledge of grammar even get on the Internet.[}:)]
As we sit here, the Captain, Nog and I are enjoying this thread. I particularily like the one regarding the TGV train. Don’t have one, but if I did, I think, a spectacular crash would be it’s bestest use. I mean betterer use. I mean it would look real gouda, butterer, best foodish.
Tilden (I still plan to run trains)
Gee, I didn’t know they let anyone with that much knowledge of grammar even get on the Internet.
Well, everyone has his or her particular cross to bear. That one is mine. [(-D]

Don’t know about your experience but I tasted some nasty cheese that some people thought was most greatest.
