So what was wrong with the title 'are there any twitters on PPRuNe' or does that statement make me a ****?

Ppruning is an upper class form of Twittering - discuss.

The same here. And, may I add, I do not care to learn.

That is because when I typed the word my keyboard knew that when I typed it I meant the dictionary definition meaning , unintelligent and worthless, rather than a term meaning a womans genitals. Therefore it did not replace any of my letters with an astrix

Well that was my intention. Probably the 'feel a' words gave the wrong meaning

for gosh sakes I never knew that some folks used that term to mean a woman's gentles. Is that unique to a certain country? If so why am I sometimes called a Tw*T when I'm not a woman? It just doesn't make sense as an insult or was it supposed to mean something like sensitive and caring?

Wot's the point ? Like having a telephone that takes photographs, and sends text - why not just speak to the person for Chr****kes ?

I PPRuNe, mainly for my small business. I see an interesting article and PPRuNe about it. Over time I attract followers interested in the same thing.

I don't PPRuNe about everything I am doing at the moment. "Getting ready to board the plane in Chicago." That drives me nuts.

I was going to start a new thread, but a search found this one. I don't mind saying that I am a PPRuNe user. I like it because it's quick and easy to use, and the 140-character limit means you are forced to be concise and witty. I think that's why celebrities like it too - you'd never find this many on Facebook or any other "high maintenance" system like that.

Yes, I know there's a lot of rubbish on there, but you know what? I'm selective about whose "tweets" I follow - you'd better be entertaining - so I don't even see the rubbish. Like EBoy, I try to avoid writing rubbish, too. This is me here, using a silly name that I might change at some point.
