    The tags that made the cut

    Of the tags that made the cut, how many can you claim responsibility for starting?

    I'll admit to:

    christmas
    hurricane
    masterchef
    mumsnet
    sicknote

    I'll try and make my next tag contracting related...

    There were a couple about genitals as well but they got nipped in the bud quite early on.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      They didn't make the cut - they've gone.

        Pedantic I know but you did say "made the cut" which points to past tense and therefore any tag that was previously displayed is valid. Doodab may well be correct in his post.

          Now I'm confused.

              Yes, they went a while ago. I just thought I'd mention them here as I figured tagging the sticky thread would get me into trouble.

                I'll put it another way

                "Of the wars that Britain was involved in, how many can you claim to having an interest in?"

                Legitimate answers being (among others for the pedants out there):
                WWI
                WWII
                Falklands
                Afghanistan
                Iraq


                The question is in the past tense i.e of all wars that Britain has ever been involved in, which interests you?
                the question is not of all the current wars Britain is involved in which interest you?

                Therefore WWI is a valid answer , as is Afghanistan. However, I suspect from your post you were referring to all current tags displayed and not all tags that have ever shown on the tag cloud/list/whatever

                Either way you didn't specify whether in what historical context you were referring to and so Doodab may well be correct in his answer.

                  Thanks chef, that's cleared it up nicely.

                    If they were pedants would they point out that, technically not all of these were wars?
