Rep System Trial

[GrandOldTeam]

Blues,

Let's see if there's a place on GOT for this system to work.

Initially, it'll only be available for Forum Supporters. We'll roll it out across the forum soon.

I'm a tad unsure on it's stability - it's software a developer has produced that only exists on here, and one other forum that plugs into GOT and given traffic to the site is the lowest it'll ever be, now's not a bad time to give it a go.

Mr West, my geordie English teacher 40 years ago.

OK. I could link the relevant section in Collins English dictionary if you like, if you feel they would be an acceptable authority.

1. That's published in Glasgow - its progressive and makes things up and I don't accept it as an authority on English.
2. Annoyingly the link flashes up on my screen with tantalising words and then goes blank. Great website.
3. I have spoken.

I'd introduce you to Mr West, but I'm not sure he's still around.

Being a geordie he was about the only English English teacher I had. One was Maltese and another French.
(Does geordie count as English?)

Newcastle English is a particular variety of English, just as Liverpool English is, Australian English, Korean English, Ebonics, all are varieties of English.

Around/round can both be used in British English although the former (around) is more formal and the latter (round) is more commonly accepted.

I bowled the ball around the wicket. I bowled the ball round the cricket. It means the same bloody thing!
