Well, irregardless  of your "error", Fauve, I bid you welcome aBoard! And sure, keep experimenting. You can do this by: putting whatever you want to try, and Previewing it--you can then see what everything looks like wihout actually posting it. Or, you can post something, then delete it (or not) as you please! T'won't hurt anything.

I HATE THAT "WORD"!!!!!!
and I hate very few words...sorry for the peeve-out... Which word is that? Nevertheless? please note new subject.. Oh, what? now I'm sposed to read subject lines? And assume they have anything to do with the nature of the post? Might as well expect me to remember which Dylan song has which title! I can't help it if some people don't know the difference between the negating in- and the intensive in-. Some people hate the word 'moist'. Sheesh! As far as I know there's some people out there who hate the word 'the'. Doesn't mean they have to go around ranting about it in the face of poor innocent people who don't have these irrational phobias.

It is SO hard for me not to "rofl", but I will refrain in deference to those with snooty stuck up refined sensibilities.

Thanks for the welcome, Jackie. I'm not even sure what sins I've committed. But after reading your post and doing some more digging around, I see now there are many places to check out, here at the site. So I'll continue to do that to get better acquainted with things. In the meantime, maybe everyone should just go here and chill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9urPHwg3k0Cracks me up every time!

That link is pretty funny reading. Interestingly, no one mentioned the word I will not type or say, that I feel is truly horrible, the "c" word. It's just so derogatory and hateful. Perhaps it's just too awful even for that forum! :0)

quoting one of LL's disclaimers, "We're also not talking about ethnic slurs, or words that are sexually or religiously taboo or offensive (though some of the words do have sexual associations, even if weak ones)."

Getting back to nonetheless I have begun to wonder if it's an eggcorn. The OE was naŽylęs. While na meant 'no' or 'not' and lęs meant 'less', Žy only meant 'the' in the masculine and neuter singular instrumental. I'm thinking it might well have been some sort of word in its own right and only became analyzed as 'none the less' at a later date. Someone who knows more about the history of English would have to take it from here.
