YES YES YES!

COULD HAVE SHOULD HAVE.

Glad to see a fellow Hibee who appreciates the olden days when we were taught proper English at schools.

What the eff happened to you younger lot ffs?

Judging by what I see from my grand children's home work, spelling & grammar do not have the same focus that they had in the past. It's all about expression.

Six points this weeks, in tough games against Hearts and Motherwell, and with two clean sheets. That's an achievement

Surely that is question that us older lot have to answer for? Apart from that, I blame the internet and globalization.

Yes what ever happened to good old English grammar?
The days of Slade and "Coz I Luv You" "Look Wot You Dun" " Take Me Bak Ome" Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" and "Cum on Feel The Noize"?
Sigh

Aaaaaaaargh! ‘Could’ve’ been or ‘Could have’ been, please!

Have you ever even seen the phrase ‘could of’, or ‘should of’ written (professionally) in any journal, newspaper, magazine or book? Ever? I will be a happy gadgey if posters would refrain from making this annoying error. Do you know the substitution of ‘of’ for a contraction is in the top 20 grammatical mistakes of all time?
Oh well, at least I get your drift: Aye, we could’ve been well out of sight (no pun intended) if we had taken our chances today Greenside but we have been guilty of dropping points and/or missing out on increasing our, ‘goals for’ tally regularly this season. Also agree we turned in another dominant performance -against an in-form team.

Im away for a lie down now, the regular use of the ‘passive voice’ in many Hibs.net posts (including my own) is giving me headaches.

And my personal favourite ....... 'yous' ........ As in 'yous were better than us in the first half'

What about Airline Steward(ess) Grammar, that's got to be the worst.

"We have a special offer today for yourselves..."

No you don't. It's just 'you'. Where on earth do you get 'yourselves' from?
