Souths Fan's Banner

[Canard]

It should have been spelt youse.

I could have sworn they showed a banner being held by souths fans on Friday night that said...

SOUTHS
YOUR
DOING US
PROUD

I only saw it for half a second, and perhaps I misread it. Did anyone else see it, and was it really spelled the way I thought it was? If so. Big LOLs from me.:crazy:

Anyone confirm or deny? Did I simply misread it before it disappeared off screen? I hope not

I think it was Souths Forever sh*t is our Sandow

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

f**king hell they got the first 2 words wrong
1. Souffs
2. You're

3/5 is 60% though which is about 43 percentage points higher than what souffs fans get in their kindergarten potato painting exams. The BER is bearing fruit

For the average Souths fan, kindergarten is the toughest 5 years of their life.

I'd be more embarrassed about telling a forum how many "LOL's'' i got from it

 

[Perth Red]

the big issues in the game - spelling and punctuation on banners! The sooner we get an IC to sort this out the better.

:lol: LOL - (Just once)

btw, i'm amused at the irony here. in this very thread title, there's an apostrophe where one probably shouldn't be.

You can argue the use of the apostrophe is warranted. The banner belonged to the Souths fan.

The banner belongs to a Souths fan. Therefore it is the Souths fan's banner. :?

But it could have belonged to more than one Souths supporter. The OP just made an assumption. He/ She should have titled his/her thread "Souths fan's or fans' banner" just to cover all avenues. After all we really need to crack down on this for the future of rugby league and the NRL.

true. that wasn't the way i read it in my head when i first saw it. grey area!

 

[saintania]

I saw the banner and had a laugh. What more do you expect of a Souths fan?

The incorrect use of 'your' and 'you're' annoys me. I wish parents and teachers would spend more time teaching these simple concepts to their children. It is not difficult to understand with a little bit of time and effort.

Another funny thread. I started two threads here today and it seems people just want to debate and argue about pointless things. I think I'll go back to lurking and just watching footy.

Just to clarify... I'm not trying to be an arsehole. I don't care. I am amused when people make simple grammatical errors in public. To spend potentially hours on a banner and get it wrong like that is funny. If you don't find it funny your probably not the sort of person to notice the irony in this very sentence. The joke's on you

As for the title of this thread, I did spend a moment thinking about what I was actually trying to say, and therefore where I should place the apostrophe. It is correct.

As for the person pointing out that my use of the word LOLing (and similar) is embarrassing, that's fine for you to say. I actually say it like that because I believe it highlights, enhances and most accurately portrays the manner in which I am enjoying myself when thinking of the Souths fan's error.

Finally, I'm not perfect, and I never professed to be. In fact, I used to occassionally make the same mistake with your and you're... but then I grew up... and decided it's really not that hard to get it right, and it makes you look so much more intelligent. If you can't get it right just yet, spend a moment doing some study, and get it right for the rest of your life. It's really quite simple.

Sound it out in your head, are you trying to say 'your', or 'you are'?

Cheers, and thanks for the LOLs.
