"Your CV- worthy - Mum Skillz" in discussions of the day.

[MardyBra]

I know it's poor form to pick up posters on grammar and spelling, but seriously MNHQ, wtf are you on about?

Presumably it should be "you're" instead of "your", but either way it doesn't make a lot of sense. And what's with the "z"?

[DiaDuit]

You are CV-worthy -mum skills?

that doesnt make sense.

[Skina]

Yup. I was thinking exactly the same.

[WaffleWiffle]

"Your CV-Worthy Mum Skills" makes perfect sense.

Fair enough that the Z shouldn't be there. Maybe the dash between the clickable link section and the not clickable link section causes some grammatical confusion.

[MardyBra]

Oh, it's the dash that's put me off. I was reading it as two separate ideas. [condused]

[WhereAreMyGlasses]

It's to do with punctuation
You are cv worthy. Mum skills
Your CV worthy mum skills

[bigkidsdidit]

Why doesn't it make sense? Your skills. Your cv-worthy mum skills. Makes perfect sense.

[MardyBra]

Whoops. Of course there is the inevitable typo in a pedanty thread.

[MardyBra]

"Your CV-worthy Mum skills". Makes sense.

"Your CV-worthy - Mum Skills". Doesn't. Iyswim

[AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves]

What mum skills could you put on your CV? I think that's what it's trying to say. Not v. clear, though!

[DiaDuit]

Ah yes! I see the confusion now OP. you're right, the hyphen means it doesnt make sense.

[MardyBra]

Actually looking at the other DotD, they seem to follow a similar format. For example: "Are you weathering - the storms?"

Personally I'm not weathering too well.

I'm guessing there's somebody new over the weekend.

[Skina]

It's the z that irrationally fucks me off.

[FruVikingessOla]

Me too, Skina.

[MardyBra]

It's not irrational.

[DawnMumsnet]

@Skina

It's the z that irrationally fucks me off.

Did we not quite pull off the down-with-the-kidz vibe, then?

We can't do anything about the dash, unfortunately, but we can get rid of the rogue z that has incensed so many of you.

Soz.

[Skina]

[MardyBra]

Thanks for losing - the rogue z Dawn.
