sgncfc 1,227 Posted May 23, 2019 Also, never attempt to even suggest that Tim Krul is not really a very good goalkeeper, or the wrath of the messageboard puritans will descend upon thy head, because clearly you can't be a real supporter if you even remotely criticise anyone for anything. And you must be a binner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted May 25, 2019 On the subject of spelling....I hate spelling words wrong and dont like seeing it anywhere else - it's just lazy imo as you can check spellings of words so easily. On grammar, things like using "of" in sentences as in "could of" is just rancidly bad, but so many people seem to do it. Ffs - it's "could've" (shortened version of 'could have') not "could of".....which is totally meaningless. "I could have bought a ticket for the derby" becomes "I could've bought a ticket for the derby" not "I could of bought a ticket" !!! It's not English! It's total nonsense! It's ignorant! It's annoying! Don't do it! Agggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about standards, an idea that has gone out of fashion in recent years. People can't be bothered to do things to a standard, as long as they are doing it how they want. The language suffers - languages evolve and change of course, but "could of" is and always will be totally meaningless in any sense of the english language.

What about the use of 'are' instead of 'our'? That mangling of English is on the rise. Most of us are accepting of typos and spelling mistakes but a zero tolerance of this very poor grammar should be applied.😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
