    Seems to be widely used in Oz too unfortunately as it's beyond horrific.

    One can visualise the process in the writer’s head “He has only, get, got, getting, gotten better.”

    The word you are looking for is improved mate!

    Language is an organic phenomenon, and as such is constantly evolving. Shakespeare would struggle to understand our speech - in the U.K. or the USA.

    Invented quite a few words of his own, did our Bill.

    There is more English spoken in the world than any other language. Although the Americans are doing their best to pretend its their own language. They tend to forget where their roots lie (other than the indibums of course. Even they speak our lingo now mainly.

    Some of the best English language writers of the last 150 years have been American, Irish, Indian, and in one case Polish. English wasn’t Joseph Conrad’s mother tongue, but his prose style is up there with the very best.

    Not sure you are correct there old chap ! I think you will find that Mandarin Chinese and Spanish top English in the language league. Of course ours is the best when spoken proper like !

    Of course I've always enjoyed English when spoken well and succinctly. Allegedly a good example of this was the English spinner of the 80s and 90s John Embury who when asked how his troublesome back was, replied... The f***ing f***er is f***ing f***ed...

    Pretty much confirmed he wants out - Puyol has tweeted saying he "Supports Leo's decision" and Suarez indicated his agreement with the sentiment.

    On that note - anyone want to start a crowdfunder to bring messi to Saints... anyone one here happen to be a billionaire?

    Who was it that said that America and Britain are two countries divided by a common language?

    EDIT: Churchill i believe.

    City and PSG would be favourites you imagine. Hopefully it's City.

    Imagine the tears on Merseyside if they sign him months after having their ban overturned <laugh>

    Many thanks. I have been reading this forum for some time. Not keen on some of the Anglo Saxon used but I am an old git ! However I am impressed by the commitment shown to our club by nearly all the posters.
