People are just plain lazy and can't be bothered to spell players names currently.

Same as the fucktards who couldn't pronounce Sven goran eriksen' name - typical english ignorance really.

You go to mainland Europe and most countries can speak better english then us lol and know more than one language.

Well it's Sven-Göran Eriksson, for a start, and unless you happen to be aware of the umlaut above the 'o' and its significance, you'll pronounce the 'g' as in English. That's the way 'g' is pronounced before an 'o' without an umlaut in Swedish. With the umlaut, it's a sort of 'y' sound.

I don't speak Swedish, but I do like Swedish detective novels and films, and checked out the correct pronunciation.

I hate it when people make spelling mistakes. Some people are so lazy they can't even be bothered to learn how to spell their own medical conditions. As I was telling my nephew the other day, "It's 'dyslexia'. How fucking difficult is that? I can spell it and I haven't even got it!" :mad:

Whenever I hear or see the word dyslexia it reminds me of the joke about the agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac that lay awake all night wondering if there was a dog.


Sorry.

Unrelated but the most common mistakes on here are people spelling 'lose' as 'loose', and mixing up 'to' and 'too'.

I know it's really petty of me, but 'loose' really grinds my gears for some reason :D
