It's poor use of the english language with a substantial pejorative effect.

He's not a rookie journalist. He knows what he was doing.
Richard Earle's articles are usually dull, with irrelevant fillers.

I skip his articles, as soon as I see he has written them.

Mind you there are plenty of "journalists" I will usually skip reading as a waste of time.

And you've forgive the poor use of english if it wasn't the writers job. Instead, the writers job is written communication.

You'd have to be very naive to think that Earle does not own a thesaurus or understand how to use the synonym button in word.
No, Earle is actually very poor with his English, so good chance it was not deliberate!

Rooch on the other hand...

Irritating that Wingard, and not sure who it is on the left, Johnson maybe? are folding their arms when they're front on to the camera

I ain't down with that lingo champ!
which part, the sup, the unban, or the flog part?

let me break it down

sup - a form of hello good sir, I hope your day is going swell

unban - please unrestrict me from your newsletter/thing

flog - flog

I hope you've found this enlightening

I wonder if all this grammar type discussion occurs on the Port board.

FWIW I think Earle made a grammatical error if anything. He's never been full on anti crows. I have heard he's a Bombers supporter though.

I'm quite enamoured with the 3 letter word 'sup' I think it will be quite endearing to my younger fans, which there are many!
As for flog- that is part of my everyday footy vernacular, what's not to like?
