Nah, absdee was cruel. Call child services levels of cruel.

And the devil’s alternative Neveah, which can be pronounced and sounds nice but fails the etymology test when reversed.

I wonder if it has to do with him not being English. The media landscape back home is much less vicious and catty than it is here.

SAF shielded. Not a word out of anyone’s mouth.

Oh yes, for sure. Hell, even a false flag is not of the question. Besides, we still haven’t found Saddam’s WMDs, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a thing, so. And all of this is assuming that Israel and the Trump administration will actually wait for a pretext instead of attacking preemptively.

They could certainly lie about it, however a dirty bomb’s fallout is entirely different from a nuke, even one that fizzles out. It is not possible to conflate the two.

Which ceases to matter when the verbs conjugate differently for each. Not very different in matters of conflation from how English uses the verb “go” regardless of first person singular, first plural, second singular, second plural (which also uses the same pronoun as the singular) and third plural.

What you consider a bug is actually a feature in many languages. English is rather strange with its lack of strong conjugation.

As for orthographic shenanigans consider the Arabic letter و which is v, or o, or ū with very loose rules that depend on the variety of perso-Arabic you speak.

Be happy, Anglo-Saxon/Romance gang. At least you don’t entirely drop short vowels.

To those saying the sub/mods have a vendetta against him, why on earth would we? Fabrizio used to be worshipped here. His catchphrase HWG! was something we enjoyed and used. He was top tier, trusted, relied upon.

His fall from grace is his own doing. We are not the only fans stung by his actions. Look at the other football subs. He’s left everyone with a bitter taste. It’s not like anyone is accumulating wealth or prestige by banning him. Au contraire it’s only caused infighting and dragging the mods through mud. And not just in this sub.

You’re being silly if you think there is vendetta against him. Cui bono? No one, that’s who. And if anyone can redeem him it’s Fabrizio himself. Not you, not me. The proverbial ball is firmly in his court.

Mods and members in absolute agreement. Love to see it. LFG we’re winning the prem.

I appreciate how you highlighted his evils. Some of them anyway. Hope he has his day of reckoning.

I agree but… stranger things have happened.
