McCann's done one...

I just used a technique, that I use when searching for fraudsters on the internet. Easy really.
Using a hyphen incorrectly is a grammatical error not a spelling error.

It is a misspelling whether you like it or not.

I always say that my west window had all the exuberance of Chaucer, without, happily, the comcomitant crudites of his period.

Crudites? Chaucer ate French appetisers?

Yours doesn't either, to be fair.

Less had been used in Old English prose as an adverb with countable nouns. The rule that less should be used only with uncountable nouns and fewer with countable nouns is a fairly modern grammatical rule and shows how artificial Modern English grammar is.

Can we please change the thread title to something more appropriate please?

I'd suggest "Please give an example of how forum users tend to only focus on some narrow act of pedantry rather than engaging in the broader topic"

Cheers!

Chaucer had menstrual cycles?

How about “grammer police van performing spelling checks, use another thread or post with care and attention”

Is grammer a misspelling or a grammatical error?

You have to build up to killing Zodiacs by starting with something less Popular.

That's a Fairlane to tread.

FFS, will you lot give it a rest.

We need some new owners to target the rage on, rather than this random, scatter gun approach to aggression.

You're right of course, it's a large Galaxy out there, we should direct our Focus better.

Aha, trying to com us with your deliberate inclusion of a misspelt word !

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

A lot used to spell it McCunt.

Even some of them came out in support of him at the weekend...

I'm one of them.

He's going to be better for his experience here and I dont think his career will take a long term knock.

But do you make a decision purely based on the last 12 games?

 

[over18and legal]

In English please

I thought the same as you.
I'd be no good on Countdown with the letters but I'd love to figure that Rachel Riley out.

I wouldn't touch Scunny with a bargepole if I were Grant McCann. They are heading for the knackers yard.

I think you're right, lost again last night, were losing 3-0 with a minute to go, but scored 2 in the last few minutes to make it respectable. The owner I believe put the ground into one of his companies, and promised to put it back into Scunthorpe Utd at some point, I can see if things don't improve then he could well really upset the Iron faithful if he doesn't keep to his promise, who was not happy he did that in the first place.
