Kitchen offers without price indications - is this common?

they are not stupid, but a common means in word processing to write something in italics. You write in italics when you want to set something apart or emphasize it. If a forum or other text-processing software of a hardware does not support this, the reader knows that this is emphasized. Except Silke. Now you know. It _is_ also not automatically something stupid if it seems "somewhat pointless" to you.

When to write in italics is known to me. That underscores are used for this is new to me. Especially since you apparently could really write in italics. I think many others do not know that either. Except Yvonne, who knows everything. It just disrupts the flow of text, it didn’t read well.

I want your time…. Sorry, but somehow that contradicts itself with you ;)

Where does it contradict itself? We once both had a day off and the child was with the grandparents. But they live over 100km away. Quickly dropping off the child to spend a few hours at the furniture store and then picking up the child again is not possible. You do that once, then it should be fine. Without the child, I would have just left after a few hours and wouldn’t have spent 7 hours there.

PS: I don’t know this underscore thing either and wouldn’t know why you would do it if you can write in italics.

We spent over 7 hours in the furniture store the year before last buying a bedroom, until we had found and put together a matching wardrobe for the bed we favored.

Really? 7 hours? :D:eek:o_O And was that really because of the salesperson?

I was once told that it’s best to choose a furniture store in a motorway commercial center where there is also an Ikea. Then you drop your kids off in Smaland and first have a proper breakfast in the restaurant. Then you spend 7 hours going to all the other furniture stores in the center and then, fresh and relaxed, pick up the kids again in Smaland just before 8 pm... The kids then get pushed a veggie hotdog for 50 cents and off you go home.

I don’t know the underscores either. I know underlining, bold (which doesn’t work here in the forum), and italics. What I also know is enclosing something in *asterisks*, which in some forums and other software forces bold.

But I don’t find the underscores bad or stupid either. So far, I’ve assumed it’s strange autocorrect. Underscore instead of a space?

Really? 7h? :D:eek:o_O And was it really the seller’s fault?

Nope, ours. We had really kept the day free, knowing that something had to be bought that day. We looked closely at the exhibition and then chose a sliding door wardrobe. Only with the matching bed there was somehow a problem. Well, dropped it and kept looking. So turned around and looked for the bed first. We then found one that both of us liked. But then some hitch came up. So we kept looking and found something. Unfortunately, the provider only had hinged doors. As a layman you think, “White bed with wooden accents, any white wardrobe should go.” But since the bed had a special shade of white, it looked really bad. The seller was sure he had once had a wardrobe with that shade in the exhibition. After intense searching and several phone calls, the seller finally found a wardrobe from another provider. The seller really showed perseverance and earned his commission that day. Smaland never wanted our child.

Yes, I was about to ask if the seller hanged himself in the meantime. ;)
