Yes, I noticed that too, it is hilarious As for the bet, it's best to go shopping with her so if she suggested some hideous pair of shoes to humiliate you, you can refuse and pick out a gorgeous pair of heels that you actually want to wear (and change her attitude for the better)... or if she's taking you seriously in the first place then it's just a great opportunity to share a shoe-shopping experience with a friend and get her advice and opinions. If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's due to problems with auto-hyphenation algorithms when transferring text between different bits of software. That's a very gracious excuse for her! I'm a proof-reader (or was, anyway), so things like that tend to come and hit me in the face, as do their authors when I protest. I have the greatest admiration for all those from non-English-speaking countries who post here. Their English is generally far better than my French or German would be, and I spent nine months in France rather a long time ago. I realise not everyone has the ability to write and spell correctly, and I think we need to be very careful before we criticise others. Different persons have different talents. For example, I'm absolutely useless at drawing, but I'm sure many here can draw really well. In addition, English has not been taught properly in schools in the UK for quite a few years, so I think people have a very good excuse for incorrect spelling, grammar and punctuation. Indeed, *I* wasn't taught English grammar. I picked it up only through learning other languages and seeing the structure of sentences. What we have in common is a love for high heels, and we don't want to put anyone off who would fear being laughed at for writing less-than-perfect English. After all, isn't one of our biggest fears being laughed at for wearing heels? Funnily enough, I started this post intending to criticise txtspk, but now I'm not so sure, as it's a product of our society. However, we owe it to everyone to make our posts reasonably intelligible - if we want others to read them, of course! 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

I know somebody who claims to be a professional in her field who does all her business correspondence in comic sans. She is not in media, childrens stuff etc. There are also people in HHP who use oversize and/or coloured text for no particular reason.

A good compromise: have her pick out a pair of 'high' heels that she would wear, and then buy two pair, in each of your sizes. Can't get fairer than that. Alternatively I agree with other: go with her to pick out the pair herself. You can say something, "I'll show you I can walk in heels, but they don't have to bright pink peep toes, that's ridiculous". It wouldn't hurt to find out exactly what she thinks she wants you to try: - 3" heel, or 5" heel with a 1" platform - sandal, pump, wedge, or boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roniheels Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Getting bad to the theme of the post, I agree with those who have suggested that you ask her if you can go with her to pick out the high heels. When she sees that both of you agree on the same style, then she sees you comfortably walking in them, this could possibly bring the two of you even closer together and no telling what kind of fun you two can have together. Now it could backfire on you, but let's hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Different to" is also used. http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxdiffer.html I think you'll find the document you cite shows only oral 30% usage and 7% written usage for 'different than' in the USA, so 'standard usage' is rather an exaggeration. I'm reminded of George Bernard Shaw's oft-quoted remark: "England and America are two countries divided by a common language." Anyway, this is way off topic, as Roniheels has gently reminded us, and we must accept that your opinion differs than mine. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

Ludovic Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wow, I would love for this happen to me. My wife knows about it and I often borrow her sandals for a quick outing such as taking out the trash or going to the BBQ outside. She knows I have heels, some drag queen heels as she calls them, but I seldom wear them, let alone in her presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris100575 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 For those having trouble with the original post, allow me to translate: Felicitations, I once again have access to the internet after a prolonged hiatus. A dear lady friend of mine was accompanying me on a journey through the fair city, and I remarked upon the grace with which certain young ladies walked in their beautiful high-heeled shoes. "I dislike such footwear" she remarked, "I find them a source of discomfort, and they cause my gait to resemble that of a baby giraffe." "Tish!" I retorted, "many ladies manage them so elegantly, surely the challenge cannot be so great?" "I propose a wager sir," she replied "I shall procure a pair of said shoes to your fitting, and we shall see how great the challenge of walking in them truly is." I accepted her wager with bravado, alas I am to pay for them as she is currently bereft of funds, however I have been secretly coveting a pair of most beautiful high heeled shoes and it is my fervent hope that it is those that she will purchase. It is with some shame that I admit the wager to not be an honest one, for I have been secretly wearing ladies' heels for some time, and am well practised.
