RAGE!!!!! I think the reason it re-opened is to stop it clogging up the LCFC forum and makes it easier to avoid if you want to.

For instance, say the song Thriller, instead of, "cos it's a thrilleeeeeeeer..." they'd put, "cos it's a thrillerrrrrrrr...", cos as we know, Michael Jackson famously rolls his rs in songs (steady! That's another topic). Or worse, "cos it's a thrilllllllllllerrrrrrr...", cos he's famously Welsh. Does My Head In !

The transfer thread was only ever open during (and shortly before and after) the transfer window hence my post. Now its open at all times which kind of makes my post redundant now.

Hmm … put certain content in a ghetto so the disinterested majority can avoid it. Similar to this thread really and it works for me ... Nor are the majority of us interested in prejudice or xenophobia. Can the losers who spew such stuff in quantity have their own “Toxic Crap” thread and remove it from the rest of the forums?

Countryfox Posted 29 April 2019 Posted 29 April 2019 Seems like, as has happened many times in the past, FT is way ahead of the game ... and grammatical pedantry is now catching on ... I found this in the health section of the Guardian ..
Vacamion Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 It's the passive voice, not the passive tense. The passive is not a tense.
