Presumedly you are wrong, anybody ever seen Barba wrong? I am sure she switches off her cell phone when she gets on a bus, a model citizen, all you should envy.
BMcim - nobody laughed at you for being wrong, I think the fan discussion got a bit lenghty because you insisted on using the word ven (or rendering the word fan as incorrect) even though natives said it was perfectly all right . So, you know, it was as if I claimed that klompschoen should be called klompshoes

Armegon!!! How dare you say I am wrong?! You must be getting old dear friend if you forget that I am NEVER wrong!!!!!
BM questioned the name of fan in post #884, one native wondered what BM thought the name was, another native stated clearly that the word fan was correct and BM still wouldn´t stand corrected until two posts later - one by a native and one, extremely helpful and containing visual aids , by my humble person - where she agreed that the word "fan is also correct in this case", which implied that there were other possibilities as well. Not to mention the fact that after LiR gave a funny comment on the situation BM turned offensive, belittling native speaker´s competence to judge what is and what is not correct.
I read BM´s posts as deeply serious at first and then I wondered if there was some Ditch humour in them that I missed...
disclaimer:
the above post was using daydreamerish sense of humour and should be read light-heartedly, preferably with a glass of your favourite drink in your hand, and bearing in mind that this post was not intended to offend anyone!

Ditch...lol... talk about bad timing to make a typo
So it was lengthy because it took me not one, but two posts to answer that I was wrong? Okay, this might sounds strange, but did you ever think about the fact that I might not be on this forum 24-7, and that I only logged on again after the two posts were made? I know... CRAZY idea.
And I was thinking yesterday... so they think the light voice isn´t Ataturk, but that Ataturk had a heavy voice... Who is the light voice on the tape?! Another mystery...

I wasn´t going to mention it - but seeing as how there´s still some discussion going on - my comment about ´long debate´ didn´t refer to the number of posts but to BM´s own comment.
I don´t remember it being a long debate actually...
Quoting barba mama
Anyway, I had some discussion with some people (akA the rest of the teachers) about the ven/fan thing, and I stand corrected. After a long debate, the conclusion was that fan is also correct in this case
