Wilder is unwelcome in the P.L.

[Woodwardfan]

I find it surprising that a man with your knowledge , wisdom and high IQ ( albeit all self proclaimed ) would even dream of using the Urban Dictionary as your chosen reference for the spelling of the Queen's English .

Surely you must be aware that the Oxford English Dictionary is the definitive tome in this respect and ,had you taken the trouble to refer to it , you would be aware that the correct spelling for the word you used is charlatan .

Your chosen reference will probably tell you that the the word for a man's dangly things is bollox , but that's bollocks because it's bollocks .

And while we're on that subject ..........

As you know Joe, a high I.Q. doesn't mean I can type or indeed spell or shouldn't use the Urban Dictionary on occasion. My spellchecker is Urban American because I love to expand my range. The Oxford English Dictionary does not interfere with my I.Q,, never has.

Back to topic, a number of the foreign managers in the P.L. and Championship have been outright charlottans compared to our 'real deal' Chris Wilder.

Spellcheckers and off-topic posters don't half spoil a thread.

SwindonBladeJnr will enlighten you when he responds re above as he is a practicing ( before you and ShockingBadBuy get excited, that's in American Urban!) I.Q. career man.

Is it practicing or Practising?




What is the difference between practicing and Practising?


They sound the same and even look similar (except that one is spelled with a “c” and the other with a “s”) but their meanings are different. The word “practice” is a noun, it refers to an act itself, not who is doing it. On the other hand, practise is a verb meaning 'do something repeatedly to improve one skill'.

Had to read again to ensure that the next time I read it I'd read it properly, good practise that I will continue to practice thus ensuring I understand what I have read.

I’m not usually one for having a pop about spelling. For all kinds of reasons, it can be a proper dick move to make.

But, if you go out of your way to call other posters stupid because they don’t understand your clear and transparent use of language (even if what you really mean is that they are just not intelligent enough to agree with you) then I figure it pays to make sure that you’re actually using language clearly and transparently.

So I reckoned I could make an exception in this case.

As Paddington nearly once said, though, “I am a low quality poster of very little brain. So what the fuck do I know?”

Happy New Year, one and all. Hope to see y’all at the Etihad on Sunday.

We've been there before Sean Thornton , I use the American spelling as I indicated when I posted it. Knew you'd like it!

How upper-middle-class snobbish is that and how fundamentally incorrect.

I.Q. is not about social standing or word usage, of course it's not.

This has all developed because most posters on this thread did not read the O.P. which didn't mention media, players, fans or most P.L. managers, just the ones who are being shown up by Wilder's value for money approach while they spend money for fun. They are not very thorough, read a thread title and off they go; happens time and again.

Then how come your "American" spelling doesn't autocorrect when you type"favourite" or "honourable"?

You made a ( fairly simple) spelling error in a thread where you were questioning the intelligence of some posters. It happens, take it on the chin.

You have a good day now......

So it’s all been a joke then? Deliberate misspelling of charlatan for laughs. 0kay.

I wonder how many people believe that.

Not the mis-spelling Sean, for what it matters, but yes the Urban Dictionary very much so and the I.Q. poke was 'tongue in cheek'.

Wouldn't have the first clue what my I.Q. is, much lower these days I'd imagine. Certainly my spelling is mot what it was, especially on my phone.

Aah. Your “tongue in cheek”defence. Didn’t get you off any time in the past.

There’s no hyphen needed in misspelling......
