Depresses me that a grown adult doesn't know the difference between his and he's.

Where did this come from? When I was growing up I never knew anyone to confuse these two words but now I see it all the time.

So it was a quick reply, but didn't cover the points in my post, any answer on those? Nice little joke by the way, of course if it was original, Idris Elba would be proyd of you

 

Apologies, it was pretty immature, but I couldn't resist.

- Mitchell has one of the best footy brains and awareness I've seen. Further to that, his initial acceleration is quick enough to break away and deliver the kick or handball.

- Lewis has been made to look a better player than he actually is IMO. Pace is average, quicker than Trengove.

- Kieren Jack, I disagree on. He has pace and a very, very good sidestep which allows him to quick-foot out of traffic.

- Kennedy is a beast, 193cm and 100kg. He doesn't need to be quick, and I'd say the same about Scott Thompson.

Idris appreciates that Saty.

And even though I've delved into this debate about pace with you, I actually very much support Trengove's contract extension, and not for sentimental reasons. I think he has it in him.

Shithouse primary school teachers, it can't be anything else.

How can something that's "in your own opinion" be without doubt?

A turn of phrase that should have been changed when I added "IMO".

Definitely an online thing. With the advent of MSN messenger, people needed to write things, but there was never any grammar checking. This lack of regard for grammar has flowed into the new social medias such as FB, Twitter etc. In fact, I'd argue Twitter encourages poor grammar with its character limit.

in some cases yes, but i think in the main it is shithouse reading and spelling directives that are forced on teachers by the lunatic ideologues in the education department

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
