Signature?

I’ve been a member for a couple months now and I have finally decided on a signature, but I can’t find a way to employ it. Have you disabused them? I would like to knoe since my time is running out.

By the way, I know how to spell know

You can choose to view them or not in your “User CP”.
That’s where you can set yours up.
You have the click the box below each post to get it.
If you preview, you have to click the box again.

You’ll need to go to your User CP and enter your sig. In order to display it, you need to select the “Show Your Signature” checkbox under where you type your post. Signatures should be small–under 4 lines of normal sized text–and should be used a maximum of once per thread page; preferably only once per thread.

Function: transitive verb
Etymology: French désabuser, from dés- dis- + abuser to abuse

What? You’re dying? You’ve got until August to figure this out. :slight_smile:

Well, August is a long time away and I have to be witty before then. I have got to have some leeway , you know.

Guadere strikes again! :wink:

Actually, I wouldn’t have said anything if the OP hadn’t made and mentioned that very same mistake.

Criously, you noticed the intentional typo I made, echoing Abby_Emma_Sasha, but didn’t spot “Insteaad”. That was accidental, so Guadere’s Law is still being enforced.

“Criously” was also accidental. ::oh dear::

That last smiley surprised me as well. That Law is a bitch!

Who’s Guadere?

Some Bitch. The Law, not the Admin. :slight_smile:

From the thread Beginner’s Guide to Glossary of Terms on Straight Dope Message Boards “Gaudere’s Law – Named after the Administrator Gaudere, her law states that any post criticizing a previous post’s grammar or spelling will itself have a grammatical or spelling error.”

That still doesn’t explain who Guadere is.

:smack: Should have realized you did that on purpose… But I’m getting the hell out of this thread before he comes back to haunt me… :wink:

Too late. Gaudere is a she.

This thread should be made a sticky as the clearest possible demonstration of the power of Gaudere’s Law :).

proofreads furiously

What, no respect for Gaudere? You forgot to bold her name.
