BoJack Horseman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Folk that say 'texted'! Heard a radio advert mentioning this which reignited a seethe fuse! Never been bothered by this one. It's obviously not correct from a traditional standpoint, but to text wasn't previously a form of communication. Texted is fine, if not a bit cumbersome. Do you get similarly riled up when someone says tanned when they meant tan? Edited September 15, 2014 by BoJack Horseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not sure I understand this texted thing. Do you mean in the past tense? As in "I texted you earlier". If so then texted is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not sure I understand this texted thing. Do you mean in the past tense? As in "I texted you earlier". If so then texted is correct. Agreed. "She text me with the address." Just ain't right and if you use it, I'm sorry but I've judged you. And I'm not actually sorry.

Tazio Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 So people genuinely say text instead of texted? And then claim it is correct? And here was me thinking I'd misread the post when it turns out I merely couldn't comprehend the mangling of language which is becoming the norm.

Ortarkod Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Text. text. Text. Not really a seethe, and a bit over-specific, but people misplacing the emphasis in the words 'polar bear'. It's just po-lar-bear, not po-lar-BAY-ur.

Debut 4 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Ragnar touched on some motoring seethe earlier. I`m not saying i`m a great driver but some folk really do make up their own feckin rules on the road. The roundabout on Calder Road that exits onto Broomhouse Road(Sighthill pitches) and Sighthill scheme ALWAYS see drivers take the wrong lane when coming from Broomhouse Road and exiting into Sighthill. Correct me if i`m wrong, unless there are road markings telling you otherwise(which there is`nt) you follow the signs. The sign prior to approaching the roundabout says first exit left towards town, 2nd exit straight on into Sighthill or 3 exit right towards the West. How many feckin times i head up that way and some mup is in the outside lane looking to take the 2nd exit to Sighthill while i`m on the inside and they try to cut me up. They look at me as if i`m in the wrong! The same goes for Stenhouse Cross. There are clearly two lanes,one normally for the bus but its clear you should use both just prior to exiting the roundabout, yet you still get numpties using the outside lane to go straight over as if heading to Gorgie Road at the junction over from the Shell garage. I think some folk have it in their heed that there are unwritten local rules to some roads and junctions. Phannies.

Has Steve received a text already in this instance? Who knows. Disagree. Texted sounds clumsy. The subject was brought up on Countdown and Dictionary Corner confirmed text as a verb would also be text in the past tense. If Susie says so, then that's good enough. :-) Edited September 15, 2014 by Samuel Camazzola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 There are some arsehole cyclists but most are sensible and for each one good or bad it's one less car on the road and a spare seat on the bus remember. As for red boxes some time the lights change in front of you when you are waiting to move forward and you cant reverse with cars right behind. It not always the drivers fault for sitting at the advanced line.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to change the wifi network setting to 'forget' but it always seems to connect automatically without my permission. I then turn off my wifi but then forget to turn it on again when I get home, so I'll accidentally waste Internet data when I'm on youtube or Spotify.

Snake Plissken Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Unlucky. Just unlock yours and wheel both away I might have done that but for the fact it was actually two bikes and they were both double-locked. I waited around for a bit hoping whoever had done it would emerge before long, an hour later I met the missus and grabbed some dinner. In all about three hours had passed since I'd finished my workout, I got back to the gym and it was still ******* chained up. I had to walk back home as there was no telling how long that it would be. I just can't get my head around it, how can you loop a chain through the wheel of a bike and not notice it's not yours?! I'm still seething about this, it's stupidity/negligence on a world-class level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
