Do we need any new players in January ?

[FOX Franks]

Do you mind if I call upon the apostrophe regulator again, please

It hurts me

Why can't people put apostrophes in the correct place?

Plain embarrassed here, thinking about it you're quite right. It looked right but I suppose the names are owned by the team, so I've corrected it.
Better?

 

[FOX Franks]

Why can't people spell our team's names?

Ooh, I'm not allowed to edit it. So... meh

I think Homer was probably referring to an errant apostrophe in the thread title which I have since corrected.

I think you're right. You weren't, though.
Also thanks for fixing the thread title.

Ooh look. The apostrophe in your post has magically jumped to its correct place all by itself!

Wonderful stuff. If I was sneakier, I'd delete my other messages, but if I do that, how will the kids learn?

According to Wiktionary, it's not a bunch, but a Parliament of Pedants. Yah-boo. Bet you didn't expect that bit to be pedant-ed.

Have that, you bunch of feckers’!’!

The pedants’ pedant: why the Apostrophe Protection Society has closed in disgust

After 18 years of policing grammatical abuse from around the world, the APS has conceded defeat. The punctuation barbarians have won

I love it when a thread descends into a discussion on spelling, punctuation and grammar. It’s amazing.

It's when players are interviewed (or when Glen Hoddle is commentating) and they say, 'them players' or 'keep putting in them long crosses' which bugs me.

Quite.
I don't think there is a single player in football who doesn't say 'them' and not 'those' when interviewed.

It's them players what bug me -and on topic, I don't believe we need any additions in January

 

[SimonW]

Imagine what we could do with Mane and Salah playing wide (both of which would have been attainable for us before they moved to Liverpool).

If we could find their equivalents, should they exist, then I think we should go for it.

Your Kanes, your Allis
Your Leicester’s, Your Bournemouths

THERE ARE NOT MORE OF THEM THAN ONE STOP PLURALISING
