The use of singular “stoppage” and “clearance” when it should be plural

The lack of the word “if” when proposing any sort of hypothetical, e.g. “We get a key forward, we make the finals”. Not the best example that I could come with, but you get the idea. It’s rampant on this forum.

Came in here to say this.

I don’t agree with murder, and I don’t like the idea of incarceration, and I certainly don’t support the idea of making innocent people’s lives worse by taking away someone they care about but I would f**ken take a sledgehammer to David king’s f**ken face given the slightest f**ken chance to do so and bludgeon it until it looked like a burst watermelon if it removed the words stoppage and clearance in singular form, from AFL lexicon.

What a c**t

After playing relatively poorly, “we’ll take the win and move on”. Because when you play well, you tend to stay there permanently.
