Kiwidoug Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm longing for just a couple of months ago where we're playing Celtic in the Cup Final. Take the lead after 60 minutes and Celtic are awarded a penalty just 3 minutes later. That's the world we know. We get at least 3 weeks seething in and it gives us something to do. Right now we're reduced to worrying if Tynecastle Boys Club have ruined our season. Thank God for Shane Lowry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I type quickly on a qwerty keyboard I seem to almost always typo ‘teh’ for ‘the’ and it just ignores it every time. Then with medical terms or expletives (even mild ones like ‘hell’) it changes them to something totally nonsensical. Also lets Bearts and Tangers through. My autocorrect is a total duck.

Yes, but here’s the interesting thing - that expression dates back to Elizabethan times, when ‘gotten’ was an accepted usage in English. Shakespeare used it. It was exported to America, where it persisted, but died out in the UK. ‘Fall’ (as in autumn) did the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still say ill got gains, but good point, just about the only use in English I can think of that sounds better than 'got'. Both are past participles of the verb 'get' but in Collins dictionary 'gotten' is tagged as 'US'. Aye, every day's a school day😂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made this point last couple of years - I think the club should at least sell only the Roseburn until this sells out and open the other secitions on thew eek before the first game for individual game tickets allowing the Main, Gorgie and wheatfield to continue to sell as seasons until that point That way we could continue the dot counts!
