Proper grammar Nazi at work. I think "I'm" is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation. Also, incidentally I never capitalise 'nazi' as I don't like to give them proper noun status, and to say you're 'less something' rather than 'less of a something' is also acceptable in my opinion... Ha, but who cares, it's all just good fun ... Have we signed any one yet!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wot no signings, not even well conceived BS? I need hope for the week on a Monday and nothing but tenuous stuff out there today. I was expecting Morrison, DaLaet and Hernandez in today before the world class signing on Wednesday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just realised I could've cracked out one of these: Now look what you've made me do. It's late at night and I have nothing better on. An abbreviation (from Latin brevis, meaning short) is a shortened form of a word or phrase. It consists of a group of letters taken from the word or phrase. For example, the word abbreviation can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbrev. In strict analysis, abbreviations should not be confused with contractions, acronyms, or initialisms, with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all four are connoted by the term "abbreviation" in loose parlance.[1]:p167An abbreviation is a shortening by any method; a contraction is a reduction of size by the drawing together of the parts. A contraction of a word is made by omitting certain letters or syllables and bringing together the first and last letters or elements; an abbreviation may be made by omitting certain portions from the interior or by cutting off a part. A contraction is an abbreviation, but an abbreviation is not necessarily a contraction. Acronyms and initialisms are regarded as subsets of abbreviations (e.g. by the Council of Science Editors). They are abbreviations that consist of the initial letters or parts of words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Rather take a punt on Mark Uth (Hoffenheim) than Bas Dost to be fair. Uth is younger and a better striker!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
