Jimbo Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 Look guys, I know I am being 'pedantic', but I am just about getting used to 'would of' 'could of' and 'should of', which I now know actually mean 'would have', 'could have', and 'should have'. Then I have to contend with things like 'he is to slow', 'he is to old', and stuff like that. In circumstances where someone wishes to get the point across that something is 'beyond what is desirable' or 'acceptable', in relation perhaps to slowness, the phrase should be 'he is TOO slow' FFS. Just to let you guys in on another little secret 'too' should also be when trying to signify an addition, or perhaps when wishing to say 'also', for example: 'he too is slow', which means 'he is too slow as well'. That could be a bit confusing, how about 'he plays for Leicester too', which means 'as well'. The number '2' when written as a word is spelt 'two'. 'Those two play for Leicester too, but they are both too slow and should go to another club'. Did you notice I have sneaked another word into that sentance which sounds just the same but is used in a different way. 'To' is used in lots of different ways which are always different to the way 'two' and 'too' are used. Primarily 'to' is used when signifying a direction or movement, such as 'he is going to the next match', or 'he is going to Braunstone'. *sentence if you're going to be picky about the use of English language then you've got to be sure that you get everything spot on, or you just look like a tit
artursteppe Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 *sentence if you're going to be picky about the use of English language then you've got to be sure that you get everything spot on, or you just look like a tit You've got more time on your hands than me. Thanks for pointing that out to me. No need for the personal insult though, that just belittles an already small mind.
artursteppe Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 *sentence if you're going to be picky about the use of English language then you've got to be sure that you get everything spot on, or you just look like a tit Oh, by the way, try 'If' at the beginning of a sentance, rather than 'if'. Are you a 'great', 'blue' or 'coal'.....................................?
Jimbo Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 You've got more time on your hands than me. Thanks for pointing that out to me. No need for the personal insult though, that just belittles an already small mind. No extra time than most, just a basic understanding of English, and a keen eye for detail. And no personal insult either, that would imply that I completely directed that at you, the use of the word "or" implies that it's more of a warning, advice if you like, for future reference. Would have thought that someone as "pedantic" as yourself might have picked up on that

Nice to see that you have started all your sentances with a capital letter this time, but, and you have set yourself up as a bit of a master of the English language, where you have started your sentance 'Would have thought' would it not have been better to have said, 'I would have thought' - just a thought!
sdb Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 No doubting he was poor last night. Again. Really want him to do well but looks so off the pace. Definitely not one to pair with King either. Problem is I don't really see what system would suit him, or what he can bring to the team.

Nah the lingo these days is "I would of thought" or "I would off thort" You are still spelling sentence as sentance BTW..

I'm not sure if you're now intentionally spelling 'sentence' incorrectly.

Your going to loose the plot having such a pedantic mind on Foxes Talk.
AKCJ Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 his pen was majestic tbf if pens dont count and cup goals dont either is that like a double negative or what?
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 Your going to loose the plot having such a pedantic mind on Foxes Talk. I know it's intentional... but I still sicked in my mouth a bit there.
HighPeakFox Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 I understand Artur's irritation though. I find the massive over-use and misunderstanding of the question mark baffling, and wonder how it has come about that people end sentences that are essentially statements/assertions with them.
Jimbo Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 You seem to be someone with 'issues', chill a little, dude.

No issues matey, nor a need to chill. Completely relaxed and enjoying a nice chocolate digestive. On the other hand you seem intent on gaining the upper hand, and all because, while you were trying not be "pedantic", someone pointed out an error. Competitive nature, insecurity issues and a general need and/or want to be respected and included. It's ok though buddy, we're all here for you

Guest Col city fan Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 stop 'using quote marks', you 'look like a bellend' Arthur Askey in 'nonsense' post SHOCKER!
Fox92 Posted 28 October 2015 Posted 28 October 2015 Anyone who watched the England vs Switzerland game a month a go will see he was fantastic that night, he ran the game for them. I was at Hull last night and he did nothing again for us, he was completely anonymous which is something you never say about Kante or Drinkwater. At 31 he has to hit the ground running for us. There were some decent clubs in for him this summer I'd be happy to get our money back in January as it coincides with Matty James coming back. International football, particularly against England anyway, is much slower than the game we play. I have no doubt Inler has ability - after all he played 150+ times in Italy's top division and also captains his National team - but I don't think he suits our fast, counter attacking style of play. He definitely shouldn't play with King in a two again. Must be the slowest midfield around.

TJB-fox Posted 29 October 2015 Posted 29 October 2015 Looked better in the 3 when DD came on. Gave Hull far too much room centrally, not sure why our midfield sat so deep allowing them to play, when our success this year has come from fast pressing higher up the pitch. Really want him to excel here because I do think he is a class footballer, but it's not working out here for one reason or another. He can play 20,30,40 yard Hollywood passes brilliantly but gave the ball away in close quarters time and time again. Rare to see premiership players give the ball away as much as he+ Dodoo did. Shooting, woeful. Ball winning, woeful. Only positive I can think of is that he scored a decent pen!

Tuna Posted 29 October 2015 Posted 29 October 2015 His long range shooting. Pathetic doesn't describe it.
dayday Posted 29 October 2015 Posted 29 October 2015 You have to wonder why we signed him in the first place!
