Right. Your links were: 1. The link to the homepage of the faculty of English (their capitals, slavish followers) for Oxford University, so their entire website. 2. The home page of the Plain English (their capitals, slavish followers) campaign, so their entire website. Which parts of those entire websites will show me some of the "many" that think, like you, that the word "English" should not be capitalised. Point me in the direction of the "many".
-
Very quick look but every single mention of the word English is capitalised on both sites. So, this isn't going well is it?
-
What part of me referring to the body text in the blurb of the back cover did you not understand? Anyway, "many" you said and still nothing. Anytime you like point me the direction of just one of these "many" that go against the slavish followers like me and say the word English should not be capitalised. There's many so just one little, tiny reference to it must be there somewhere.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fowlers-Modern-English-Re-Revised-Edition/dp/0198610211#immersive-view_1436012927489 Here it is on Amazon with a handy image of the front and back cover, the blurb on the back clearly using "English" in the body text. Oh dear. Come on, "many" you said. Many. I only want one from you.
-
Find me a link to any one of these "many" people or sources who believe the word English should not be capitalised. I mean, there's "many" so it should be easy.

It's all about the quality of the English teaching at school where English teachers teach the lesson of English to their pupils. Those pupils can effectively use their learning from English lessons in their future lives of writing English, reading English and speaking English. Who knows, some of those children may use their education from the English lessons they experienced to grow up and become English teachers themselves, teaching English to a new generation of young people. We can only hope this generation and future ones grow up understanding things like grammar, basic spelling and the use of capitalisation of English in these English lessons.

Let's give him the job and call him Factless Eric anyway.

Really have no idea what you expect the Echo to be publishing. That article is fine.

I won't ever lose an argument to you, because you're a fuc king moron.
-
Clearly we would have done that if we could.
-
Not a single mention of the match on Twitter whatsoever. Not one tweet.
-
Our league season was brilliant, far better than the one experienced by Liverpool fans. So far from having 'little difference' I'd say they were almost polar opposites.
-
You seriously think the club are going to issue statements about what players they aren't interested in? Clueless.
-
Yep, in terms of winning stuff us and Liverpool are, like, neck and neck.
-
Not quite enough but a great match.
-
He'll consider it if we accept an offer. Why wouldn't he?
-
We had our best season in a generation and one of our very best of all time. Meanwhile, Liverpool had a bog standard/below average season, which finished in disappointment and serious question marks about the manager. But they still competed in the Champions League, and two cup semi finals. Oh, and still finished above us.
-
1. We've signed a goalkeeper. 2. Manage your expectations. We will not be hugely building up the squad. Well replace those who go but not a lot more. The rigours of the European campaign will be managed by using young players and probably sacrificing the league cup to the kids entirely. 3. We signed Mane on the last day of the window. It's highly likely the same thing will happen again. It's July 2nd.

He's a parish priest or pastor or something like that.
-
It's not a competition you fu cking moron.
-
Even if Cedric has a better season than Clyne, the liklihood is that they will still finish ahead of us. Because they have always been and continue to be better than us.
-
Atletico Madrid have won the Spanish League 10 times, coming first or second at least once pretty much every single decade since the war. Plus cups, plus European success. The idea that they are some tiny club who have recently only just been successful is yet another Saints forum myth.

Thank heavens someone turns up every 50 or so posts to tell us how pointless this thread is.
