Don’t understand his logic (if there is any) of Putin launching rockets into his newly annexed territories. If he considers them now Russian why does he attack his own people and territory? I thought he was attacking Ukraine territory from the relative safety of those annexed bits? He does seem to want to anniliate Uckraine though, for him, the future is the past. Suppose it makes him feel powerful.

Not a dig, just an observation.

ladies and gents , i give you neil , the opportunist up to his usual tricks as for punctuation , i'm using my phone , it's my style , i don't proof read or check it , my phone at least likes to guess what i'm saying and often gets it wrong , i won't change my style for you so get used to it what i can do is pedantically grammar check every one of your posts from now on and highlight is you've missed a capital letter of full stop here and there, i'm sure we'll all love that pathetic new game i think this is the 4th occasion now in the last week we've have the grammar nazis appear on the board , i mean wow , how ****ing sad are some people

The odd capital letter won't kill you Pilch.
I make mistakes with grammar, punctuation and spelling occasionally, but I tend to pick most of them up before I press 'create post'.
As I said, it was an observation rather than a dig, but if you can't accept constructive criticism that's on you.
Are we rally to going get into swearing and personal attacks? I thought the board frowned on that sort of thing.

i'll mention it to the doctor when he comes around what rally are you going on ? do as i say and not as i do rally ? Oops must have missed that one. I did admit to making mistakes occasionally and I thank you picking up my latest one.
I could start making excuses, but I'm not sad.
Nice edit btw, well done. I can do that too.

This board tends to be a without alcohol bar room, surely mild pops are the norm? You do seem to issue them yourself with a :-) at the end...

You are a busy person, making time to post off the phone. Your standard of englsh does not matter but your views do matter. I appologise if you felt insulted by my post.

Nooo, keep going , this is brilliant stuff , I’m p**sing myself laughing . How the f..k did we go from Putin’s Russia to an argument about grammar , it’s surreal and also comedy gold. My wife asked me why I was laughing like an idiot so I explained what was happening and gave her a few examples . Apart from thinking how pathetic it was that grown men should have a go at each other over the correct use of grammar on a message board she did say that she was with Pilch on this issue and went on to say why . I won’t bore you with the details , I just think it’s extremely amusing. Anyhow , I can always make out what posters are banging on about even though the posts are sometimes confusing due to predictive text or just lazily constructed . We all do that ( I certainly do ) usually because at the time I’m half watching tv or engaged in other things 😳. I hope when that happens people laugh but still get the content and context . It’s not an exam , it’s a f….in message board , lighten up . I must say the predictive text thing is a pain . Carry on anyway , Pilch is wound up and has fought back with some great put downs . 1-1 at the moment , ding , ding seconds out round 2.

I really have no wish to prolong this argument regarding grammar, syntax and punctuation, but surely, given that communication is the means by which views are exchanged, and understanding shared, between participants, is it not desirable for such sentiments to be expressed clearly and coherently? Whilst I'm not sure whether Neil will thank me for my support for him on this issue, he has it anyway!

When I was working, I worked in an environment where I had to regularly produce reports. Correct grammar was extremely important. I understand why some don't see it as important. However if you have always lived with good grammar, it is not something you can unlearn.

However if you have always lived with good grammar, it is not something you can unlearn. wow me too, I used to work in a safety critical post where communication was a matter of life or death, everything had to be repeated back slowly and clearly. fortunately yesterday I was posting on a casual forum using fat fingers on a small phone, and not only that my phone added an apostrophe to one of my words changing it into a different one, I dont even know where the apostrophe button is on my phone , having Aphasia this was a disaster waiting to happen. I've complained to Siri as the knock on effect was some of our members with lower intelligence were unable to decipher what was supposed to have been posted , they were most upset and I'm sorry for any distress caused to them, on the positive side its the first time I've been debated on the Putin thread so far , and also has attracted one or two others to make their first post on the thread too especially on comparing their grammar skills and offering advice I think the way forward is if we can use the report feature, if anyone spots any spelling errors or bad grammar, simply report the post, we can possibly issue bans for the more serious errors

A coup has to be on the cards, but the worrying thing who would be the next leader.
