    That would have been a SIGHT

    not a site. A site is a place such as a building site, the site of the first moon landing etc. This was something you saw therefore its a sight. Its simple really, its English, OUR language use it properly please.

    Ok I'm a pedant but the poor use of English just p*sses me off.

    Spot on mate but like I've said it was my fat thumbs on my iPhone, I do apologise but if you read through all my posts you will realise I did spell it correctly further down. I'm quite embarrassed by it because I didn't even notice until it was pointed out to me,

    My favourite game on this board is spotting spelling and grammatical errors of people that feel it necessary to correct others. I spy 5 in this passage

    Oh dear T-Dog! My favourite game is spotting the spelling and grammatical errors of those who feel it necessary to correct people who feel it necessary to correct others. And I have.

    Re: That would have been a SIGHT

    Think you have to an expert to pull that off with spelling and grammar, something I aint by a long chalk by the way, but if had written 5 instead of five at school my English teacher would have gid me a scutch.

    Got a lot of scutches thinking back.

    Re: That would have been a SIGHT

    Well spotted mate, I should probably have used a semi-colon and missed the apostrophe in "its" - although that is considered to be optional these days.

    I'm not asking for perfect grammatical English but just using the right words, in approximately the right place would be a good start.

    My pet hates are these.

    There instead of their, as in - "They should mind there own business."
    Unnecessary apostrophes like - "I value your comment's T-Dog."

    For what it's worth, going back to the original post, it was almost certainly a Buzzard. I don't think there's any other bird capable of carrying a rabbit that you'd see in that part of the country.

    Re: That would have been a SIGHT

    Scarf, you are certainly causing some controversy with the absence of a capital letter in your username and by the use of a coordinating conjuction to begin your last sentence!

    We need to get out more...

    Re: That would have been a SIGHT

    Only winding you up mate! :p I won't use proper english (see, no capital!) when I type on here purely to save time, and don't really care if anyone else does either. Although some posts by HT take the piss...

    Must admit, I thought he meant a website when I first opened the thread too, so you did have a point

    Agreed. But not together.

    Re: That would have been a SIGHT

    No problem, I like a good wind up. If you want to dish it out you've got to be able to take it.

    One of the best things about Barnsley is its people, they're friendly, good for a laugh and take the p*ss with the best of them.

    Always remember at Oakwell when one of the security phones started ringing and a female steward went to answer it, this voice rang out from the back of the Ponty "Deal love, deal!". Had me in stitches.
