Just had an enquiry stating they are loooking for a canonical childminder and would I fit the description???

Am I being stupid, I have googled this but can't seem to find a good description, other than religious -is this what she means??? Any ideas? Don't want to reply until I am a bit clearer???

Any ideas tia

Erm... Well I'm as confused as you!!

I thought I was just being daft! Glad I'm not the only one!!

I'm thinking I should reply saying '

Thank you for your enquiry. I am a home from home childmimder who welcomes all children . Please could you let me know if you have any specific requirements? ....

Will that cover it without sounding like I have no idea what she's on about?? Lol

Wiki says ....
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical

Something about archetypal ... still no clearer!

Is she asking are you religious?

It's not an auto correct issue is it?

Umm if it's autocorrect what could it be???

Comical- I can do that lol
Confused - yep most of the time -like now


Ummm this enquiry could be interesting....

It could just mean regulated.

Ah Mouse, that sounds like a good answer. But why canonical? Don't think I will find out until I ask her? !!!

Brilliant Mouse. Thank you for the link. It has got to mean am I registered! Phew, glad I dint email back saying .

'Oh God no I'm not religious!!! Lol (don't mean to offend anyone)

Right, I can answer the canonical question now. I just hope that I don't need a dictionary for the rest of the enquiry.
Thank you all for your help in sorting this out.

Lol..why not just put registered?

Perhaps english isn't their first language?

My guess is that it's an auto-correct of some fat-fingered lummox who is incapable of spelling "economical".

They could probably have saved themselves a lot of trouble by being honest and making the standard parental request of wanting exceptionally high quality childcare on the cheap.*


* Please refer to all my previous posts about people who order champagne whilst telling the sommelier they're going to drink the champagne but want to be charged for water. :mad:

lol this is too funny!!! :-) Good luck and enlighten us once you've met them!

Btw, will you be changing your username to The Reverend Karen1 ? :rolleyes: :littleangel:

This thread is great! :laughing:

My bet's on it being an auto-correct for "economical" - as brilliantly suggested by Bunyip. :laughing:

Can't wait to find out.

There's nothing "brilliant" about me having made every mistake there is to make already, thus making it easy to spot somebody else's. :o
