arty Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Heard amongst an ABC Radio news bulletin today: "He murdered her to death" And another which is all too frequent: "which do you think is the most unique out of these?" ... which also reminds me of the old reassuring: "Of course, my dear child, you are most special. Just like everybody else." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullokintyre Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Austy strikes again. The disappointed skipper said the duel tons are not something he is focusing on at the moment. "It was a disappointing four days to be honest. We've been outplayed and the result reflects the way both teams played," Voges said. Adama Vogues scored two centuries in one match. Obviously both were fighting centuries. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrietta Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 With coach Wayne Bennett back on board and the signing of some key positional players, a loss to the Sharks would have the alarm bells at Red Hill whaling even louder those on Cronulla Beach. I'm hoping it is one of those funny predictive text howlers. Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadone Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 are english speakers verbally insane ? in what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital, ship by truck and send cargo by ship have noses that run and feet that smell, how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites ?

alonso Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 When did the phrase "speak to" become fashionable? "Philosopher Raimond Gaita speaks to his essay on reflections on war and truth." Why not "discusses" or "speaks about"? Is language modification always for the better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I reckon three words were dropped when the article was published: "... speaks to the audience about his essay ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
