    That's quite literally true
    According to google they're still legal but I have to agree I haven't seen one for ages. They're probably a bit like that scorpion kick thingy the Columbia keeper did. Brilliant if they come off but you look a bit of a nob if they don't.

    Another thing is the recent American habit of regarding convince and persuade as interchangeable. You don't convince someone to, you convince them that or of something, you persuade people to.

    Do you ever stop and think “hmmm, I wonder if I’ve posted this before...”?

    That's not quite accurate. A campaign by the American Society for the use of more better Grammar was ran to convince people to adopt the correct usage. 99.9% of Americans are now persuade to do so. Quite literally.

    Or claim, when proven wrong, that it was just a joke...

    I believe you are inferring that I made the statistic up. However, irregardless in a quite infamous report entitled ironically "Things Stockholm Literally Didn't Make Up" you will find I'm telling a truth.

    Hardly my fault that you and Castro don't read the posts in the manner they were intended.

    And if either of you ****ers want to continue this nonsense, do it by PM, it's really boring for everyone else.

    In the majority of cases what they mean is "figuratively"

    No, I am not saying you made it up. I was saying if it was 99.9 then it quite literally couldn't be 99.8 or 100.

    You butted in on the thread trying to be clever. Just because you quite literally can't express yourself clearly don't get abusive to others.
    Still haven't got over your **** up claiming it was a trained sniper and not a routinely armed police officer whilst we are on tbe subject on not reading posts properly, have you?

    Careful, it doesn’t suit him so he’ll take his bat and ball home *tidy up the thread*.

    I did ask for this nonsense to end, as my request was ignored and the thread was being ruined, I've ended it.
