kmpowell Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was one of the ones who severely slated the quality (particularly the materials used!) of last year's shirt(s), but, having had my 15/16 shirt arrive today I must say that BS have clearly listened to the feedback of last year's gripes, and have produced something vastly superior. The difference really is night & day! Good work BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they'll be brilliant quality, a fantastic price, readily available in all sizes and look superb.... then you get it home only to discover the neck hole is too small to get an adult head through.

Do you think that the comma after 'their' is necessary? Well that depends whether you consider the Oxford comma a legitimate grammatical feature.

Calculus Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yes. No it isn't. The Oxford Comma can be useful in avoiding some misunderstanding. In this case it is entirely redundant and shouldn't be used. Try removing it and ask yourself in what way meaning had been lost. My point wasn't to get into some ridiculous debate about grammar. The original post was perfectly understandable and it is a mystery to me why people seek to belittle others. As you're obviously a man concerned with standards may I suggest that you also start correcting peoples' spoken English next time you're in BS3. If you can just this one thing I'd be happy to buy you a pie and a pint afterwards, although I suspect you might be eating the pie through a straw. Of course I imagine you wouldn't dream of being so rude. Why is it acceptable on a forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I imagine you wouldn't dream of being so rude. Why is it acceptable on a forum? Yes it is. Some use it, some don't. I was always taught to use the serial/oxford comma to remove ambiguity of visually joined elements in a list written on a single line. As for your other comments; was it me who interrupted a thread with a rude/antagonistic comment, or was I just responding in kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the person who brought rudeness into it. Why does it matter to him what kmpowell chooses to wear? Ok it may not be his chosen form of dress but kmpowell & others opting to clothe themselves this way actually puts funds into the club and improves the fare on offer. That is to everyone's benefit so the more the merrier in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may crack out a retro one at special and/or away games, but I wouldn't wear one normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
