[NSC] Northstandchat

[Brovion]

The ‘for’ is unnecessary. Just saying.

Actually one could argue that it should be at the beginning, otherwise he is ending the sentence with a preposition.

I'm guessing the OP has had this thrown at him and has posted it as in part a litmus test.

The problem is the board has been captured by far-left types who use constant denial of agency arguments like "Right-wingers are dumb and the ones who are not have been beguiled by the Daily Mail" . Or the view that left-wingers have of themselves that they are open minded people who believe in reason and want to help the less fortunate. Nothing wrong with that self ID even if its not always true, its just a pity they don't extend it to people who question or disagree with either their views or methods.

They, the Boomer left will deposit opposition to their world view being at root a product of mental illness like denial/denier or a phobia or some base ignorant prejudice.

No I'm not saying these types don't exist, its just an automatic assumption of the Boomer left on here who assume the worst and are at base horrible people. This board will continue to have a chilling or deterrent effect on anyone not left until OP decides to grow a pair and deal with it.

Quite a DRONE Strike, that.

First poster to go on Ignore for posting such a DULL rant. Lol.

As a 40 year old, could I guess it’s 35-60?

I think you could extend the top end a bit if we assume middle age if followed by old age. 60 isn't old these days.

In an English sentence written on an informal forum? Such grammar pedantry is something up with which I shall not put.

I Googled it using parameters I felt would resonate with northstandchat: the D*ily M*il with typical scientific rigour seems to suggest if you're 47 - 65 and ache a lot. I'm sure if I actually clicked the link it'd also mention house prices and love for Boris Johnson. Meanwhile the Guardian, also true to form, appears to say you're middle aged if you think you are but it's up to you.

Speak for yourself I don’t piss myself just yet

I know, you save that for your OnlyFans subscribers.

Compared to the American based other board that I belong to ( on an entirely different subject ) this place is eminently sensible. That one is infested with Trumpian anti Vaxxers who do not have the sense they were born with.
Three cheers for Northstandchat ! Hip Hip …..

That one is infested with Trumpian anti Vaxxers who do not have the sense they were born with.

An excellent example of ending a sentence with a preposition.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

And what's wrong with being a male, middle-aged, leftie grammar pedant, eh? Eh? Honestly if you say you're a grammar pedant these days they put you in jail ....

(And actually I'm not middle aged. I've got a bus pass!)

What constitutes middle aged? I’ve got a bus pass too!

Do you have any plumbing or electrical issues that need sorting at the moment ?

Pleased to say none at the moment but you never know.

Yes, like split infinitives it's something I usually let slide. I'm not a complete grammar Nazi. Go with the flow that's what I say.
