Shortly after the 100,000th post we're up to 5000 threads. I wonder just how many of those are about Bullard, Leicester and even more inane ****. I may as well use this thread to pose a question that's been bugging me for a while:

Am I the most pedantic sad bastard on here or does anyone else log on on their phone, click on forums and think "shouldn't that be fora"? Every ****ing time.

Yes :grin:

5000 threads is pretty good though, there's been a few gooduns and a few ****ing ridiculous ones

From "Who's the biggest ****?" to "Which Hull City player makes the best curry?"

It's been a ****ing pleasure lads and lasses

UTT

I like that you've given us one reason for you being the most pedantic and a different one for you being a sad bastard. ;)

btw, if you stopped coming on on your phone you could just bookmark this forum as a favourite and come straight here without having to click forums. Instantly making you less sad and less annoyed about the 'incorrect' term. (I've put the quote marks because my dictionary gives both forms of the plural, and yes I realise that checking that puts me in competition with you for the sad bastard part)
 
No that's the 17%.

The 12% are my well thought out, well articulated opinions.

I need a clarification, are those percentages that were put on of the posts or of the threads? If it's the threads then you can't be right there, think about the Venn diagram, if that 12% were your threads they'd be included in the 17% for threads having a go at you so it must be something else.

i dont, but then my native language is english and not latin. i cant be ecpected to know the plurals of all the thousands of languages that english has nicked words from. so sticking an s on the end does it from me everytime.

I like it. If all peoples adopted that things would be much easier.
