    On match of the day Shearer gave a good example of my earlier point when talking about palace's sending off - "it's not an obvious goalscoring opportunity, I don't think".

    Why is it that to 'think' something' means to be unsure, compared to 'knowing' something?

    How do you know something without thinking it? That bothers me.

    Well you can go from thinking something to knowing if it turns out to be correct. But then if you think something and it turns out to be wrong, it turns out that you didn't know... but now do. I think. ;)

    I've heard "sistificate" too, from more than one person.

    People just don't know how to spell properly these days, that's the problem. The meanings of the two words, lose and loose haven't changed and are completely different.

    Incidentally, Loose near Maidstone is pronounced lose (or loos) not loose - not relevant to the thread however!

    Is Loos in Belgium pronounced like loose or Loose, or indeed some other way, that's what I want to know.

    That use of 'borrowed' is just incorrect, but 'learn ya' is frequently used ironically or sarcastically.

    How do you know something without thinking it? That bothers me.

    The one that really annoys me is people going on about how they 'feel' something, when they mean they 'think' it.

    "I feel we shouldn't be cutting disability benefit".

    "I feel cutting funding for state schools so as to fund free schools is wrong".

    "I feel we should be hanging the Chancellor of the Exchequer by his thumbs".

    No you don't, you THINK that.

    I would say that you could think it or feel it, to be honest.

    Those are perhaps examples where one could have an emotional response, so I take your point, but I still stand by original argument.
