Raising our game (2 Viewers)

How about we contributors to this forum raising our game now that we're in League 1? Two things I would like to see...….
Remember that we're 'supporters' helping the team through difficult times rather than the manic-depressive approach to winning and losing games.
Red cards for anyone who writes 'should of' instead of 'should have'.

And a lifetime ban for saying loose instead of lose.

Plus penalties for poor grammar, such as starting a sentence with 'And'.

Using 'And' at the start of a sentence is fine. Google it. I'd also suggest that you search for 'using 'plus' at the start of a sentence' whilst you're at it.

Or should that be 'while you are at it'?

lets stop the massive highs and lows
if we win, we are not Barcelona, if we lose we are not Bedworth United

As long as you are clear and understood you’re fine. The rest is gatekeeping bollocks.

Should of and loose should be killed with fire though.

And yellow cards for inappropriate use of apostrophes. Repeat offences will lead to lengthy bans and ultimately, banishment.

Red card for anyone who thinks it’s “ way up sky blues” also, as I heard this numerous times yesterday

I often trip up on Twist and shout
Don't know why having heard it millions of times.

You should of put a post up like this ages ago!!!

 

[vow]

And 'So'?

:banhappy:

Will this yellow card also be issued for what could be deemed overuse, but in fact is just incorrect use of capitalisation?

You missed out the apostrophe in age's

 

[Otis]

My bad.





Do you also hate people who say 'my bad?' If so, my bad.

 

[Ricketts]

I presume this must be a piss-take. Do you understand grammar?

Ages is the plural of age.

Own goal.

Please try not to score any more own goal's. (Joke)

It is not poor grammar. I have it on good authority ( a bloke I know who sets the English exams for one of the exam boards) that "And" is now perfectly acceptable as a word to start a sentence. It is just a linking word, like "But". His view is that there any number of rules that have been added for no real reason in the last 100 years, and that is one of them. "I before E except after C" is another - there are loads of exceptions. The key thing is the central meaning of the sentence is clearly understood, not some small infraction of the rules

Can you confirm that you have checked with "a bloke I know" that this is the case?

I would be delighted that a post I made has caused such in depth investigation, especially as other have 'googled' it, because 'the internet' is always right. If so, thank you for taking the trouble.

It was a piss take for sure.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Can we use VAR to help enforce these rules?

 

[Gosb]

It takes one to know one

 

[standupforcity]

It's all about communication...if you know what I'm saying the point is maid...

Fair cop. I fell for it.
