Matthew Le God Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 (edited) It is... Daniel Seaborne not Seabourne Adam Lallana not Llana Kelvin Davis not Davies Nigel Adkins not Atkins Edited 6 February, 2011 by Matthew Le God
CanadaSaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 I think there should be an apostrophe after "Saints" - as in "Saints' first team players." What say you?
shurlock Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 (edited) and it should be fora, not forums Edited 6 February, 2011 by shurlock
Matthew Le God Posted 6 February, 2011 Author Posted 6 February, 2011 (edited) I reckon this is why Daniel Seaborne didn't have a great game yesterday. He was hurt no-one could spell his name. Edited 6 February, 2011 by Matthew Le God
Tokyo-Saint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Why start a thread about it? I thought you enjoyed talking down to people from upon high. Surely spelling mistakes give you the ideal chance to do that?
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 It is 'it's'. I have had a few Kronenbourgs TBF But i apologise.
sandwichsaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 The first recorded use of the word 'pedant' on these forums (fori?) ? Discussing palindromic dates .... on SFE ..... big excitement when the dates went to --/--/200x. Mass excitement in the media naming --/--/---- 'as the first palindromic date since xx/xx/xxxx 'and it wouldn't recur for 'xx years' - I basically rode a coach-and-horses through their logic ... I claim the first recorded use of the word 'pedant' on SFE / Saints Web. Always havea chuckle when I see the word 'pedant' in a post (EJ Thribb was first tho).
SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 I thought Pedant meant loving children. My grasp of the English language is slipping away.
St_Tel49 Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 I thought Pedant meant loving children. My grasp of the English language is slipping away. No that would be Paedant. I think I'll go to bed.
shurlock Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 I thought Pedant meant loving children. My grasp of the English language is slipping away. Sure, you're not a closet skate?
LVSaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 You posted an incorrect pronunciation of Fonte the other day. Come on!
The9 Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Pff, I've had a running joke about being a "pendant" going since 2004 on Saints Forever, and I am one. But his thread is pathetic. It's not even funny.
eelpie Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 This thread is pedetentous (going nowhere slowly)
RedAndWhite91 Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 It is... Daniel Seaborne not Seabourne Adam Lallana not Llana Kelvin Davis not Davies Nigel Adkins not Atkins Your a bore.
VectisSaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 It is... Kelvin Davis not Davies Maybe they meant Kevin Davies
simo Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 (edited) Oooh give a fark! Hth Edited 6 February, 2011 by simo had a funny turn
ottery st mary Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Have we found this boyzzzzz pendant yet?
Window Cleaner Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 Your a bore. not an advisable assertion on a pedant thread,really really not.
ulstersaint Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 You're a bore or you are a bore, but not your a bore. Sorry to be a pedantic bore.
keithd Posted 6 February, 2011 Posted 6 February, 2011 very helpful phred. without the correct spelling of teh players names ive no idea who people are referring to! sticky
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 not an advisable assertion on a pedant thread,really really not. You're a bore or you are a bore, but not your a bore. Sorry to be a pedantic bore. Jesus Christ, whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!
kpturner Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 Jesus Christ, whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh! ....are you trying to imply that you deliberately incorrectly posted "your a bore" to be ironic?
The9 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 ....are you trying to imply that you deliberately incorrectly posted "your a bore" to be ironic? Gosh, this thread is setting all kinds of new internet records, mostly for self-harm.
kpturner Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 Gosh, this thread is setting all kinds of new internet records, mostly for self-harm. I give in.....to what do you allude?
The9 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I give in.....to what do you allude? There's just too much irony, sarcasm, and too many moments which are likely to result in the repeated smashing of one's head against the wall for my liking.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 ....are you trying to imply that you deliberately incorrectly posted "your a bore" to be ironic? I have an A-Level in English Language, I'm hardly going to confuse 'you're' and 'your'!
kpturner Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I have an A-Level in English Language, I'm hardly going to confuse 'you're' and 'your'!If your A-level was acquired in the last 10 years.....well, it ain't a real one. It is probably akin to a CSE from the 1970's

kpturner Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I have a 1970's CSE in English Language, I'm hardly going to confuse 'you're' and 'your'!Ahhh - no, absolutely not. I stand corrected.
MbaleSaint Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 "Lose" not "Loose".....please! This. Please can we all get this right from now on. It is not rocket science.
The9 Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I'm really trying hard not to succumb, but at some point in the next week or so I will almost certainly cave in to a rant on this subject and post everything I hate about everything. You knows it.
MarkSFC Posted 7 February, 2011 Posted 7 February, 2011 I thought Ricky Lambert played well at the weekend and as for Dietmar Hammans' goal...excellently worked from Alexandria Oxlaid-Chamberpot. Shame about Danny Hardys mistake for the second though and David Butters was good. As for me Julie......
saintbletch Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 Hmm. The Pedant Thread? The title conveys the likely contents of the thread so it certainly passes muster as a piece of Internet communication. I'm just not completely sure that it is accurate. If the thread was started by someone who thought of themselves as a pedant and perhaps wanted other pedants to contribute, then shouldn't it be "The Pedant's Thread" or "The Pedants' Thread"? If the thread content was designed to be anally or annoyingly fussy about the rules of language, then perhaps it should have been "The Pedantry Thread" or at a push "The Pedantic Thread"? To my eye, and I'm happy to be corrected by our more learned members, "The Pedant Thread" only works as a title if it is a thread about a specific, probably well-known pedant or if somehow the thread itself were the pedant - not the content, the originator or the contributors. If I'm right then all of the content should change to reflect that. I'd be obliged if all contributors to the thread could edit their posts accordingly. Well you started it.
Surman4no7shirt Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 Regarding the first line of the first post of this thread; in my opinion the sentence fragment "It is..." is singular. You should have used the plural in this sense as you went on to list several instances in which you felt people should be more attentive with their spelling. Did you know that if there is nothing you want to listen to on Radio 4 at the moment you can use iPlayer to catch up on the bits you missed? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_four
