Well, you do have to admit that 'revert' seems somewhat naked when 'back' isn't the following word!

I too welcome new members and say 'give us your best'.
Well yes, when you consider that in the last decade ‘YOLO’, ‘LOL’, ‘OMG’ and ‘freegan’ (to name but a few) were recognised as official words; ‘revert back’ hardly seems the crime of the century against the English language.

Oh , agreed. Not a major offence. It's just dumb. It just highlights how little effort some put in to communication. I do believe that poor skills does not necessarily indicate reduced intelligence but if I had a thousand poorly written job applications and a thousand well written of the same I'd wager I'd get better candidates from the latter group.

Maybe some people write perfect formal English when required such as a job application, and revert back to a more casual approach in circumstances such as footy forums.

As you practice, so you perform. Besides, I cited a thousand poorly written job applications. Also, I'd hardly describe correct English as formal.

Honestly out of everything I said in in my post this was the last thing I expected to be discussed 😂

You will get used to it, @Huge does this a lot but none of us would ever say it to his face, he is a big, big man in real life, just ask him. ;)
TBF, poor @Huge didn’t do anything, I roped him in to this one.

Nonetheless, welcome @Alex Wingnut. Huge is a stickler for proper grammar and (I believe at least) loves being the self-appointed BHQ grammar moderator, wearing it as a badge of honour.

And if I’m honest Huge, I too love me some good grammar 😘

No, just a big man. You don't just have to ask you know, you could check.😉

Well the Roar game at Dolphin Stadium has been postponed for this weekend, let's hope this new strain doesn't get a grip otherwise we are in for another season of not being able to spectate at stadiums :(

Still have to ask though, How big are you for your username to be Huge?
Well, as Nashy and Lynx know, amongst quite a few others it's both a description and my real name. Or so close to it it's not funny. Huge by name Huge by description. Shouldn't be too difficult for posters to figure out. I'm old now but back in the day, weights etc made me...the Prick with Eyes. 👍
