Guessing of course:
Talls always get us
Still it's a kickLanguage is changing, but not the way you think it is.
Yes, adverbs like ‘quickly’ are being reduced to the noun- ‘quick’….But what you think is changing is only the stupid, the culturally demented and those who think it’s radical to butcher basic tenets.
Go to Oxford Uni and tell them you want a degree…because ‘language is changing’. Sit in front of a quality press Editor and tell them ‘should of’ is the correct past tense.
Better still, tell a Doctor he/she sat for a ‘Doctoring’ degree.
No…it’s not changing…it’s just being interfered with by the lesser educated (no issue there) , and a parade of pseudo- intellectual dweebs that have been given an irrelevant voice by social media. They got a degree, they never learned/learnt grammar or spelling.
They don’t like being told they’re failing in a basic skill.
Put it down to Modern Education.
Doesn’t make it right.
Even this forum respects the need to retain integrity within the language…hence the ‘Media faux pas’ board.
Don’t want rules? I commend Detroit street gang ‘jibber jabber’…see how far that gets you.
Sorry…through/thru (NOT threw) to the goalkeeper?
You expected better from a Scott?
You expected better from a Scott?
They are God’s gift to the AFL…and themselves.
As a friend once said….the Scotts have a very high opinion of their own opinion.
Pretty sure he did
What makes you think I was directing my comment to you?
The term is stupid..,I’m yet to make a decision about you.
Yes, language evolves - slowly.
Yes, SM has accelerated that evolution very slightly…but as I stated - sit down in front of a group of Merchant Bankers, use the term ‘Check’ instead of ‘Cheque’……and they’ll think one of two things:
1- You read too much SM
2- You’re an Aussie who was educated in the US,
And when they discover you weren’t, guess what they’ll think.
I’ll tell you. Pillock.
Now, do you see how ‘plasticised’ language is simply runny Horsesh1t?
Talls never get shorter
Guess work based on the known 5-4-3-2-1 voting scale
Guesswork. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes not. The guesses I posted were only two of about 6 possibilities.
My sense is that McCartin's injury along with both ruckman has played a big role in this. In 2022 we saw Paddy intercept and cut off numerous opposition forays on the wing to rebound the ball back into the Swans F50. How many times has this occurred in 2023 in his absence?
The language debate is interesting,
In my experience people who complain about language changing also use the word 'meld' unironically.
And no 'meld' doesn't mean combining two things together. (or it didn't 100 years ago).
I disagree. Bedders is the gatekeeper.
