I read this: as: After that elementary error the rest made no sense, so I re-read it. It took about 10 seconds to sort it out but, as is customary on here the proverbial molehill has achieved Alpine proportions.
"She told me that the first time she'd come in," For me, it's the comma that adds the sense to it. "She told me that the first time she'd come in,(comma) she got talking to me and eventually left....etc"
should read: She told me that the first time she'd come in that she had been talking with me I asked if i was drunk. She answered.... I asked if denise was behind the bar and she was. Obviously a lot of Sambuca was served. (FULL STOP) She.... Grammar disaster this. yoda you sound like HMMMM.
I skipped by to the big news that Denis was back, it only took seconds to re-read as suggested. I agree though, you two make mountains out of every grammar mole hill so turn about is only to be expected.
oh no i'd never do that. I'm just clarifying for everyone elso to do it. Remember I am nice now so wouldn't deliberately yankify my posts just to torment people.
