pallets are for forklifts, palettes are for color

I think English is the language of choice here guys, there's a difference in Palettes and Pallets....

You mean between palettes and pallets

And then there are pellets, of course

That would be "pedantry thread"

Sorry, sorry, could not resist. I'm not really that way

I for one have been inspired. This is even more fascinating than that time when Earth's second moon, which somehow looks exactly the same as the first, was discovered. Mind bending stuff. I'll never look at a pallete in the back dock at Big W the same way ever again.

What have we learnt today?

-Pallets are for forklifts
-Pallets = Pallettes = forklifts
-Big W has pallettes, used by forklifts to fork %#^# to your door
-This is a pedantry thread
-pgc hunter is kewl
-Bricks are wrapped in plastic straps which their police don't like
-ptc = DILLIGAF
-English is the language of choice here guys

Not to mention that pellets are a crucial part of our day to day life. I could not fathom a life without pellets.

On the train to uni, I pass a Pellot factory, it's extraordinary, there's like pollot skyscrapers like theres billions of these things. And ZOMGOSH there's forklifts!!1 English is also the choice of language when I yell out stunned profanities at the sight unfolding before me.

Hi All,
I know someone who saw someone driving a forklift. It was shifting a pallet of paint pellets and palettes. The forklift was yellow.

It was a moving experience.

Cheers, I'm goin' back to my wine.

PS If you ask what the heck has a yellow forklift got to do with this.
My reply is: "nufink, glad u asked but"
