Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 On 30/05/2020 at 18:40, Xela said: Talking of streaming, I was watching an Inspector Morse on Britbox last night and was enjoying it and all of a sudden there was a huge jump in the storyline. He'd gone from chatting to Lewis one second to another scene in another. I looked up the details online afterwards and most Morse episodes are around 100-103 mins long. This one was 92 mins. Seemingly 10 mins from the middle had disappeared. Britbox must have though... ahh **** it, we've got 90% of the it, lets upload it. I needed to channel my inner Morse to work out what happened in the middle! Whoever's uploading them probably figures that since you're literally the only person watching it it doesn't matter so much 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'm sure I've said this before but when did 'lose' become 'loose'? I'm pretty sure it's only in the last few years and it's becoming more prevalent. Even educated people are making the mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Similarly, I like the word loose and I particularly like it when coupled with super. Such as, our gig tonight is going to be super loose. But it sounds a bit too close to super loos so that sort of ruins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not something I had picked up on at the time but since then I have noticed it a lot and you are right to be angry. At best it's just really annoying Americanisation of our language but actually it's basically just very rude. If you want something it should be "please could I have". It's just good manners innit. It does seem to be becoming more and more widespread. Edited June 2, 2020 by sidcow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
