Ha ha! I can be a bit of a brute at times. Only verbally. (I did Julius Caesar for my GCSE English ‘O’ level in 1953.)
This popped up on google just now. Evatt is clearly an excellent judge of playing style but hasn’t watched any videos of our matches this season. And to say we’re good at set pieces is a joke. Well, it is in relation to Friday’s game. Luke Leahy hit one stunner of a free kick, brilliantly saved by their ‘keeper, but wasted several others.
Again, we do need to come back to my first point that there's a huge difference between how you write on a casual, informal internet forum, and how you write in a formal professional arena.
Text speak has a lot to do with it, back from the days you had limited characters, so quickly binned off the extra fussy letters and apostrophe to cram more value in.
Although we all knew someone who would come back with a "yer" (which isn't even a yeah, but is one letter disembiggened, so is thrifty!)
It's all about register. I think, because of the typical demographic of most of the people on this site, the average register used is more formal than you'd expect on most football forums (fora?). But we can accommodate all sorts.

I completely agree @micra ’s analysis, both of the rule and that it’s a lost cause
