Dont get me started on how the transfer thread is still open ALMOST A FULL MONTH since the Januarywindow was closed...  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.

You know when people are writing words as sung or spoken and they want to give the impression of the word being drawn out and they put multiple letters of a consonant at the end, rather than a vowel in the middle.

 

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.

Not to mention the absurd speculation about raiding Celtic. Why do people get drawn in so easily? 

 

None of which is pedantry - get yourselves over to 'What grinds my gears'.

I'll take that as a compliment... lol

 

I was watching you like a hawk Bucey !! ...   if you'd have put and E instead of an I, like what some wallies do ...   I'd have come down on you like a ton of bricks ...

 

But you didn't ..  so it doesn't matter really ...

 

Waste of a post really ...   :huh:

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.

It’s full of foreign names I’ve never heard of, my knowledge of world football is minuscule compared to some of the posters on the transfer forum.

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?

Myself/ yourself abuse . I was asked by a shop assistant recently "how can myself help yourself today?" ( I'm sorry but that barely passes for a sentence in the English language .)

Not from Norfolk or Cork...Why isn't it yourself.. who do the deed did you not..!! Why it was myself ,who did the do!!

You’ve gone again...

 

 

Not me..just saying how others build a sentence,when colloquially a turn of phrase or sentences are spread with local diallect..

 

The original or local English,from Cotswolds > Yorkshire dales> Norfolk> back through to the West country...Each have their own quirks..!!

Some of it being lost,because areas becoming 2nd homes communities,and the young locals spread their educational wings a lot wider.

 

English dialects and accents,are being lost and some great Saxon-English/Anglo-English all correct in their own right,

but only found and kept in local verse or poetry....Like our food it's becoming "plastic"...and less versatile..and

Usually it's the English-controllers on forums,that make the most mistakes...but who cares,it's only a football forum,and not a proofing

of a Thesis,when writing ones Doctors/professors  work!!!
