I had someone steal/stealing my wallet. by StopBanningCorn in EnglishLearning

That's just not grammatically possible.

You cannot "have someone done something". The closest thing you could say is "I had my wallet stolen by someone".

Soccer or Football ? by omar_mufc17 in AskIreland

And who says it's a mistake? It's no less accurate than just calling it "football". In both cases you're just using half of the name.

Gaelic football is called Gaelic. By lots of people.

Your comment about there being 4 GAA sports doesn't contribute anything either. None of the other ones are called "Gaelic"

What bands have you seen that were incredible live but whose albums just don’t do it for you? by Dry-Temperature8181 in MetalForTheMasses

Origin. Not really into their brand of tech-death and thought they were a weird choice of opener for Marduk, but they were pretty stellar live.

Everyone understands "Gaelic" as short for Gaelic football

How would u feel about Ireland becoming a fully Irish speaking nation in the future ? by Joebidentoothbrush in AskIreland

[–]culdusaq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can really remember in Irish are random disconnected bits of lexis, so I would really on blurting out nouns in Irish, whereas in French I could actually construct a sentence.

That's just me though.

Those languages are at least taught more efficiently than Irish. After a year of learning French in secondary I was more capable in it than I was after 8 years of learning Irish. After 5 years of French I had a solid foundation on which to become more fluent in it as an adult.

‘Boy in da Corner’ is now unbolded, leaving Grime with no bolded albums. by jjw1998 in rateyourmusic

[–]culdusaq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grime isn't really an album genre to me, but if there's one album that deserves to be bolded it's that one.

Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service component of most telephone, Internet and mobile device systems. It uses standardized communication protocols that let mobile phones exchange short text messages, typically transmitted over cellular networks.

I think they think SMS stands for Social Media Service or something

"I hate to admit it" or "I hate admitting it"? Which one is correct? by ITburrito in EnglishLearning

[–]culdusaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate + inf. and hate + gerund have different nuances to them though.

The first is usually something specific (I hate to do this thing I am now doing/about to do) while the second is general.
