Quoting posts

Re: Quoting posts

Slightly off-topic but I detest the common use of the word "journey" in every bloody reality show and I also hate everyone signing off "cheers" in phone cenversations, emails and letters. Foregiveable when you're being served in a bar...but since when did it become acceptable to end every correspondence or conversation with "cheers"?

By the way...hate it when people use the term "from my advantage point". It's "vantage point" for christ's sake. Oh, and one of the most common erros on these boards is people speaking "dribble". Try "drivel" next time, okay?

Feel better now.

Hey its a footy site some do actually dribble!

Re: Quoting posts

The error that I notice most often on this site is "should of" (should've) 'could of' (could've) 'would of' (would've). The error comes from them sounding the same.... but of course they are contractions:
would've- would have etc...

[QUOTE=Mantis;76083][QUOTE=Before I Die;76080]Well, I am confused. I have looked at the original post to which you referred and it is not obvious to me what your concern is. Could you explain in more detail just what your concern is?


I have on purpose incorrectly quoted your post to show what I mean. The post I was referring to has been fixed up.[QUOTE]

Obviously not.

You underestimate the power and importance of the language. It is more powerful than the sword. We are all subject to the rhetoric of others.

Re: Quoting posts

All very funny if taken tongue in cheek and talk about defying a stereotype.

Actually, overuse of the word actually actually annoys me and just seems a pointless word actually.

Re: Quoting posts

A footy team doesn't loose. Your pants are loose if you don't own a belt.

Also ridiculous starts with 'ri' not 're'.

Not yours.
