Probly instead of probably...
The one I really hate is people who say "Train Station". It's RAILWAY station.
(...and before somebody queries "Bus Station", whoever said English was consistent?)

I see that a lot lately - 'I do see' when they mean they don't, 'He did say that' when the context shows they mean 'he didn't'.
Saying spelling doesn't matter is one thing (and they're wrong...) but saying getting positive and negative mixed up doesn't matter is completely stupid...
mucking word fuddlers.

I thought a Station was a place where things were temporarily stationary. Trains are motile, railways are general not.
So that would be a Road Station then?

Why? the railway is stationary everywhere, whereas the train is stationary only in the station (or that's the idea anyway).

On Sat, 26 Jan 2008 22:02:11 +0000,it is alleged that Andy Hall spake thusly in uk.d-i-y:
There're a lot of people on Ebay who sell very unique items, usually several identical ones
Sometimes these items are old telephones which are made of [bakerlite|bakerlight|bakolight] and have a rotery dialler and a draw. They've usually apparently tested them on a mobile network, somehow.

They have no illusions that the trains will ever leave their comfortable houses.

Does it bother you that the man with his finger on the button of the world's biggest arsenal thinks they are nucular weapons?
