Tilly - to a certain extent I''m with you on this one.  However the younger element amongst us use different language to that we''re used to - it may not be to our taste but its the way the English language is going.  After all its only a couple of hundred years since everyone was uttering Thou Thee and Thy like a rabid Leeds United fan, and double s was written as double f - and its less than 100 years since the word "Gay" changed its meaning

[quote user="dezmondo18"]Don''t no if any1 else noticed not only does this guy have pace , great touch he somehow and I mean somehow challenges and seems to win most of his headers against big defenders. Looks quality already see him an chrissy up front for most of the season I can see holt being out abut due to injury hope not but either for once I''m confident that whoever starts can score :)[/quote]

Dezmondo - to return to your topic -

I think that the strikeforce we now have at Norwich is the match of anyone in this division - whilst we may not have a direct substitute for Holt we do have several options especially when you take into account Holt, Martin, Jackson, Johnson, Hoolahan and MacNamee (I know the last two are midfielders....)

I''m still not 100% sure about Jackson although he has started well and seems committed.  At the end of the day if he scores 20 goals and/or creates 20 for others he will prove to be a good signing

OK you have had your English lesson for the day. Now for maths you can understand!

Mathematics

 

This comes from 2 maths teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life?

Here''s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

 

 

Now I know why some people are where they are!

[O.T.B.C 0]

Til, don''t forget to leave a space after a full stop in your posts please old chap. :)

Back to the OP, I actually agree, I''m looking forward to seeing him this season. The one thing that annoyed me a little about Holt last year, was that he would lose so many headers and jumped too early. There isn''t too much that bothered me as he was top draw.

I think we have a very good and varied front line, maybe need a bit of help in January.

"it may not be to our taste but its the way the English language is going"nonsense !Kids have always used their own slang, back to the days of ''down wiv skool''. They grow out of it . I doubt the child would be too happy if his ipod, wii or anything else stopped working because the programmer decided to write in his own gibberish. The first post was illegible nonsenseThe sad thing is the way we are going is that any gentle ribbing is met by howls of outrage from the whinging kids and self righteous piety from those who would sanitise society out of existence.Grown up forums have a robust and ''knock about'' character to them - far better theyremain that way as well. Life is too serious as it is without having the po faced coming on here and warbling on about ''issues'' and group hugs.Get ''em up cleaning chimneys is my view, that''ll learn ''em.

Personally I see the ability to spell, and use grammar correctly, as a very basic cornerstone of intelligence. Or, put another way, I automatically assume someone who can''t do these things isn''t the cleverest. Or maybe I''m just being picky.

I pride myself on getting my spelling and grammar correct, but I really couldn''t give a mokey''s behind whether someone else does. It''s just snobbery to pick holes in what people are saying when they are clearly legible. It is one of the worst kinds of snobbery as wellLanguage is a fantastic thing, and one of the most fantastic things about it is that everyone speaks (and writes) it differently. It also changes with time. The way we speak changes, and will continue to change.Are we not allowed to speak in Norfolk accents anymore? I suggest anyone who is such a stickler for ''correct'' English shouldn''t visit Carrow Road in the future.Respect to you, Dezmond018 - if you can be understood, then you are communicating correctly. Everyone else understood exactly what you were saying, but some people just like to pick holes to make themselves feel superior. TIL 2018''s list of grammar errors is so boring and pathetic; that in my opinion it counts as BAD communication - in that most right-minded people are put off ever wanting to communicate with him/her, if all they can contribute is a list of someone else''s supposed ''failings''.

I have not seen Jackson yet but he has had pretty decent reviews so far so I am looking forward to the Everton game. It was always the worry that if Holt or Martin got injured we did not have a replacement striker who was strong enough to start games. This was blindingly obvious when Holt was suspended for that little period in the new year and against Charlton/Leyton Orient later on in the season. So it is good to see that Jackson has started well particularly as the Holt situation is beginning to sound very worrying. Does anyone know what is actually wrong with Holt or how long it will be?

[Graham Humphrey 13]

[quote user="TIL 1010"]1)Sentences start with a capital letter.....Y not y.

2) "what i wrote" incorrect grammar,should be "what i have written".

3)im should be i''m or i am.

4)gonna should be going to.

5) you should be your.

6)dont im should read don''t i''m or do not i am.

7)Sentences do not start with but.

8)Incorrect spelling of intrested,i take it you mean interested?

9)Words starting with a vowel do not have "a" before them,it should be "an" as in "an actual"

10)Finally sentences end in a full stop.[/quote]

Not bothered about capital ''I''s though, Tilly?

[Bill 1,788]

"Language is a way of communication"And if that language is meaningless drivel then part of that communication is stating that. As in, if you could not hear or understand someone you would say so."which is not something they should be forced to change"Who was forcing anyone to change. It was pointed out that the original post read as unintelligible drivel. No more force than if you flies were undone and someone pointed it out  ?"That''s just imposing your way of being on someone else"Nonsense. Asking someone to clarify their meaning is not imposing at all. Without a reasoned and accrepted understanding of what was meant the forum would not work.

Personally, correct use of English doesn''t cost anything, nor does it take any more time so I prefer to use it. And of course to read it. I use it in texts and get annoyed by people who don''t, not like we''re charged by the character now is it?

But on the note of Jacko, I''m still not sure he is going to live up to his price tag, he''s unproven and didn''t set the world alight during the second half of last season. But given service I''m told by a trustworthy friend and Gillingham fan that he''ll put chances away. Just not, for me, sure we had to pay £600k+ for him.

Still, ILWT.
