You'll have to explain that one to me, can't see what you're referring to.

Tut tut bloody tut

Not perfect, but in the grand scheme of things should we be getting all upset?
-
SM that one really is pretty damn basic.
Yes things are going the right way but that really is indefensible

John, it's a mistake, I get that. What I don't understand is why it's so important that we have to keep pointing out spelling or grammatical errors. And then to say it's embarrassing or making us look like idiots. Really?

Very good point SM, and possibly the reason why some people dont post comments on this site. the grammar and spelling police are always happy to jump
on post and ridicule it.

Yes its a mistake, however that particular one is not grammatical or spelling, it should never have happened, if it was the BBC site there would be threads all over place "BBC never knowingly right " etc etc
The odd spelling mistake etc happens even after proof reading but Marquis up for Manager of the Month!
I'm not saying we criticise spelling etc although it shouldn't really happen but sorry SM that one should never have happened
Yes we are going in the right direction no ones disputing that, tell you what lets not bother criticising gaffs like that one and just become complacent and sit on or laurels and see how long......................................

Perhaps it's the same person (who has n't got an axe to grind) picking up on every minor detail that gets under peoples skin, it's like groundhog day with some peoples posts

I'm sorry but have I missed something here? Has the club employee used the official Twitter account for a racist rant about Brexit or have they had a brain fart and used the word manager instead of player in a tweet following using the same word?
We'll have to get Darren Ferguson to make sure that if he's up for Manager of the Month then we don't allow players to get any credit at the same time in case they accidentally tweet the wrong word when publicising both. It's not as if Tweets can't be deleted and changed in an instant.
We really are scraping the barrel to slate the club aren't we?
For what it's worth, if Marquis wants to me manager then I say let him. Let him be Mayor of Donny too. If he's scoring I don't care what role he has!

no space required between "s" and "n" in hasn't
and you might want to check the use of apostrophes with "peoples" - unless you're using it in the context of referring to a collection of disparate ethnic groups from a common area, such as "the peoples of south east asia" or similar
oh, and i don't do capitalisation because i simply cannot be arsed, so leave it...
:lol:

You also seemingly don't do full stops.

I'm as much a stickler for correct spellings and grammar on these platforms as anyone, but this is hardly a cardinal sin is it? The BBC routinely make much, much worse errors than putting 'Manager' instead of 'Player'.

Well, they always said Diouf was managing the team behind the scenes... so why not.

Donald Trumps latest tweet had an error in it almost every post on the internet has an error somewhere. People have to be more accepting of different standards of writing some are better than others but as long as you get the point is it really important?.
Some people leave school and have no need in their job to be grammatically correct and the last education they had was at school. Some use the internet to try and improve on it helpful advice is good belittling isn't.
