First for David Brooks

[Danetheblade]

I do wish people wouldn't use the word "excellently" - there used to be no such word in the English language. It's found it's way into our vernacular as a result of illiterate journalists, in particular, sports presenters on Radio Sheffield, with flat Yorkshire accents, who have, through ignorance, taken a good adjective, like "excellent", and turned it into an adverb.

Apologies. I'll be sure to use a word that's more to your liking next time.

 

[Guesty]

Agree. But I do wish people wouldn't use the word "excellently" - there used to be no such word in the English language. It's found it's way into our vernacular as a result of illiterate journalists, in particular, sports presenters on Radio Sheffield, with flat Yorkshire accents, who have, through ignorance, taken a good adjective, like "excellent", and turned it into an adverb.

'Taken with excellence', perhaps?

I understand your frustration, but language is always developing and evolving, whether we like it or not. Words is like well wikid innit.

DazBlade88 will attest, I was whingeing the ball to Brooks hadn't been played more quickly, just as he picked his spot.

Me too!

Dane is our very own Shakespeare, the man will go down in history for the amount of excellently chosen new words he uses.

 

[8lade]

as the game was getting a bit physical

Starting to see this every game now (joke no of yellows 6 to 2) boys rising to it but only a matter of time before there's an injury.

No need to apologise, Cerberus Blade is entitled to his opinion, but he's wrong. Excellently is an adverb, it's been around for centuries, not sure why he thinks it's new.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I was shouting at the telly from about the 50th minute saying this game needs Brooks! We had dominated the first half and they came back into it. The opening stages of the second half the game settled into a bit of nothingness and was in the balance, we were dictating the play a little bit less and they were growing in confidence. I said to my old man, "put Brooks on now and they won't know what's hit them".

The lad didn't disappoint. What a talent.

That I am my good man.. pushing the boundaries of the English language.

 

[stringjunior]

pushing the boundaries of the English language, innit.

Fixed it for you

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Thought he should have come on earlier, wasn't sure he could impact the game so quickly, how wrong was I lol.

And it's in Roget's Thesaurus too

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I was watching , and waiting for this Lad to come on

Didn't disappoint did he ?

No Dave, he certainly didn't.

But I do wish people wouldn't use the word "excellently" - there used to be no such word in the English language.

aye, there didn't used to be. Thanks go to Google® for this one, if this doesn't convince you, I'll try and a find a quote from the bard himself.

 

[BushBlade]

I can't remember the last time I was excited about a sub coming on. Or the last time I was excited about a sub coming on and he delivered.
