Injury 2024 Injury Report/Updates

[sideswipe]

All possibilities relate to clotting and I would love the 6 possibilities I mentioned. Pretty sure I only mentioned one and the possible complications of the one.

You know each complication is a separate possibility?

Were so lucky to have you as part of our community. Read it again but try to keep the car on the road

Blame the bible and it's loaves and fishes.

I think fishes is actually older as the plural for the animal, but the meat "fish" is uncountable, so has always been fish - but became the plural for both.

My Grade 3 teacher, Mrs Voijtek, mustn't have been religious, because she yelled at everyone who said fishes.

They're wrong. I'm pretty sure it's leprosy.

Must've got it off Lepper

 

[gerryg400]

Now that's American.

I don’t sound American.

 

[soreplums]

Because I find it hard to believe that we put him back out on the ground after he told the medicos he couldn't feel his foot and it was black.

It would explain him not making the distance from 30m out

And, Plural of Fish was Fish. One fish, two fish. But that was too hard to comprehend by the new age, so FishES became a word...

I was taught fish and fishes are both correct but have different meanings …

fish = plural same species of fish.

fishes = plural different species of fish.

Note that the two fish being referred to are the same species …

I don't get much, if any, inside info on the club but I was told he has a blood clot in his calf. If ever I was to believe anyone, it would be this person. Take it as you wish

That’s what I was thinking from the descriptions. But how does a play so fit get a complication like that, we barely travel!

 

[The Phantom]

Beef - Cows
Mutton - sheep
Chicken - chickens
Pork - pigs
Fish - Fishes

Is it something to do with if you’re referring to the meat or the animals?

 

[Hardas]

So the foot's actually fallen off.
Hmmm, that's gonna complicate his recovery.

I can share with you a case in the National Football League a Hall of Fame Defensive End, Jack Youngblood, who played for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1970s through early to mid 1980s, who had no fear and played through every kind of pain and injury imaginable, to include playing in Super Bowl XIV, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, on a fractured leg, as well as the NFC Championship, two weeks prior, when he sustained the fracture, against Tampa.

Anyway, one day in 1981, he noticed a "sausage" popping out under his arm and showed it to the team doctor, figuring it was no big deal but just cover bases and have it checked. The doc nearly crapped his pants and immediately called LA General Hospital where Youngblood had surgery that day to have the "sausage-like" blood clot removed.

In Jack Youngblood's case, the cause was repeated trauma to his arm which eventually resulted in the blood clot. I'm not suggesting that is necessarily the case here, but it is one explanation for why an extremity might develop a blood clot on an athlete.

Peace!

I don’t sound American.

Neither do I. I sound like I'm from North Jersey, a universe unto itself if you've ever been there.

I think that's how it was in the early translations of the bible, where it was loaves and fishes, but fish in other parts But then it became fish for both. Language changes. Spelled is now more common that spelt and the oldies are going to have to deal with it.

The animal terms (pig, cow, chicken) are from the old English roots, which in turn came from the Germanic / Anglo-Saxon roots.

The language changed significantly after 1066 when the French (Normans - William the Conqueror) invaded England. The lower class continued to speak English, but the new upper class spoke French. Over time the need to communicate between the classes mangled the two languages into one, which became Middle English.

The farming terms (pig, cow, chicken) remained from Old English because of the farming class English folks.

The cooking terms (pork, beef, poultry) were adopted from the French terms.

Fun fact: Queen Elizabeth II when she was alive - nearly 1000 years after William the Conqueror invaded England, continued the tradition of receiving her menus in French.

when does this AIA vitality injury update usually drop...

Having worked in Australian, British & American-run schools, I've heard plenty of opinions on this.
It used to annoy me a lot that US spelling had crept in, but it's actually easier for people new to the language, so tends to be the default one internationally.
In the end, I would mostly argue that it depends on the 'audience' - who's reading what you've written (or listening to you). What if your boss is American?

Hooray! I’m the only person I know who thinks American English and spelling is a good thing, and I prefer it to the English usage we were taught. Although I still fall back on the latter when writing reports, etc, because Australians get very annoyed if American spelling is used. It’s a version of snobbery.

We have snobbery baked into our language.

Back in the 17th-ish century when the scholars got together to harmonise the spelling of the language, they deliberately made some words a different spelling to their phonetics. This in effect separated the educated from the uneducated.

The word “debt” is an example.

Peace!

That guy was doomed to get a blood clot, given his surname.

Nominal determinism?

In fairness, medical science has progressed more than a little in 43 years.

We also have gendered language, but I’m not going there as I will be subject to two days of posts denying it exists.

You should take this story to the COVID 19 Conspiracy thread - where the nuffies there think these types of clots didn’t exist before the jab.

Anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor about Carmichael and his concussions leading to medical retirement?

It's only a rumour so far, but, given he has been TBC on the injury list for a while, it could be true.
