On Wednesday, in BOLD RED CAPITAL LETTERS, I said there'd be a blog hiatus if any errors were reported in the comments. Within 30 minutes more than one person had done just that. Others followed. So the blog had a day off.
I was not...
• quitting the blog
• ground down by pedants
• on holiday
• slacking
• dead
Thanks for the joyful/ appreciative/ concerned/ hilarious/ hysterical/ mistaken/ misguided/ anxious/ paranoid / dreary/ bitter/ lovely comments.
Today you're getting the post you would have had yesterday.

I'm smiling knowing that the hiatus really was just a short gap. It was lovely to see how many people were concerned though.
I'm very glad to see you back. Now play nicely everybody.

Ha! Had a really positive impact on the volume of comments though.. :)

Hence the obvious grammatical error which is why I commented in jest.

Does this mean that the mystery count has finally reached one?!
dg writes: No.

Welcome back,DG. I hope you enjoyed your day off. Did you use the time to wash the curtains or turn out your cupboards? 😉

Clearly that should have been “glad to have you back” - ironically an unintentional error.

Early reminder that your grammar or spelling joke still isn’t funny, no matter how many smileys you use.

Welcome back DG.
Right, you lot, go easy on the spelling flames.

Very glad that it was just a one day hiatus. I hadn't realised until faced with a future without a daily dose of dg how much I looked forward to reading whatever you want to write about. I can't remember how I stumbled across your blog about 10 years ago but am pleased I did.

They say you never know what you've lost until it's gone. Even if only for a day. Welcome back DG - and thank you.

So does this mean that even if there are factual errors (I'd have thought Fulwell/Fullwell was fair comment, and there was calling Brentwood Brentford a while back), rather than someone moaning about the use of English, or writing style, no one should say anything?
dg writes: Obviously it doesn't mean that. But a few fewer comments starting "So does this mean..." would be nice..
What about if a sentence doesn't make sense, or is unclear?

Welcome back DG. We all missed you!

Phew! Got a bit worried there DG.

By the way, had dg not come back today I was going to suggest people read some of dg's blogs from the last 15 years. They are wonderfully entertaining and can provide many hours of enjoyment.
Thanks again dg, I really appreciate your efforts.

"few fewer"
Glad that no-one has been ignored...

The mystery count is still 0, so it can't be for days without a post, much as that eventuality yesterday caused us worry!
I'm wondering now if the mystery count might be either "dates", or perhaps even "dates that go really well"?

So glad to see another post and that the hiatus was only one day. I hope the super-pedants take note.

I echo Neesy - even without the hiatus (which is well deserved, DG is under no obligation to provide us with anything!) I've been reading 5-10 or old posts daily since I started reading about a year ago. Started from the very beginning - it's interesting to see someone change/develop over time, something you don't really notice from people around you who you see every day.
Heck of a lot of clicking to do that though!

Yay!!! The universe has righted itself. No need to call the Doctor!
Welcome back DG. You were sorely missed.
