Barely Nobody Is Posting Here

[Nemo123]

There's 5 hours apart between posts.

Maybe rebranding is needed, because the title is only relevant for a few months a year.

It needs to reach out more.

It needs more cutting edge debate. A site where you can say the kind of stuff Russell Brand says on his Messiah Tour.

Blow away the curse filter. Why do you have to have it? Russell Brand shows that swear filters don't remove objectionable opinions, because nothing he says is un-pc, yet it falls foul of the profanity censor, time and again.

It would be nice if this site was alive with opinion any time I log in.

[King Gizzard]

do you only search this section or something?

[Nemo123]

do you only search this section or something?

Well I look at latest posts on the right. Am I missing something?
I sense I must be because of your question.
So, put the latest posts on the top, not just the latest post inside a category.

[Nemo123]

There's another site I visit:

Thepropertypin.com

Look at it to see what I mean. (It's an Irish property website).

I can go instantly to that and pick the latest thread

[Nemo123]

It keeps the conversation turning over in the here and now.

[Nemo123]

You know, people don't want to wait for an argument or a discussion, inside a defined rule book. You give free reign to discussion.

Go into the chat and games section I'm sure you will find some threads to entertain you Nemo.

Yes?

I'm sure he will be back online tonight again wondering why no one is posting.

[joeysteele]

It is also the build up to Christmas too, many people are doing other things but will be back in January for CBB and all that goes on next year too.

[thesheriff443]

maybe he will maybe he wont.
your post came like the police several hours later!

Ignore me posted a new thread in here by accident.

[mizzy25]

I think this is a very busy forum, I like off season as u get to know people without the rush and hustle and bustle of when bb or cbb is on. Threads just get lost when they are on. At least now I can keep up with threads.

I agree it is a good time for that to take place, it is nice to read and learn more about everyone and how they are thinking rather than skipping through threads and posts.

[Pete.]

why don't you keep complaining and contribute to the forum rather than knocking it??? most people enjoy it

[T*]

In my eyes this site is active. You could contribute more instead of making threads like this, and making proper discussion threads like you have done previously.

[Nemo123]

Are you planning to invest Nemo?

Nah! It just has a good feature at the top which instantly takes you to the newest post.

(It's called the pin because it's function was to burst the property bubble).

"Barely Nobody" is that Irish for "Hardly anyone"?

[Nemo123]

"Barely Nobody" is that Irish for "Hardly anyone"?

It's not a double negative. Like "almost" could be substituted for "barely", like, almost succeeded, and barely succeeded, may have opposite meanings, but if you substitute almost for barely, it's the difference between narrowly failing, and narrowly succeeding. So, if the site is narrowly failing or narrowly succeeding, it conveys almost the same message.

So, "Barely Nobody" equates to "Narrowly succeeding", which is almost the same as almost failing.

[fingers]

Rubbish!

[Marsh.]

In that case it would "barely anyone" not "barely nobody" which makes no sense.

[Nemo123]

If it didn't make any sense you wouldn't be able to understand it.

[fingers]

We make allowances!

[Marsh.]

If it didn't make any sense you wouldn't be able to understand it.

When a child says Mazagine I can understand perfectly what they mean, doesn't make what they say right though does it?

[Marsh.]

We make allowances!

This. :hmph:

[Nemo123]

Show me the rule in grammar I fall foul of. Like Barely and hardly are opposites. Barely reached the North Pole, hardly reached it. So are "nobody" and "anybody".

[Nemo123]

When a child says Mazagine I can understand perfectly what they mean, doesn't make what they say right though does it?
That's a clearly demonstrable spelling error.

[fingers]

Now you are just talking rubbish, Nemo.

"Barely and Hardly" are opposites! :conf: :elephant::dance::elephant: :devil: :joker:

[Livia]

For a start, you ended this sentence with a preposition.

[Nemo123]

"Barely and Hardly" are opposites! :conf: :elephant::dance::elephant: :devil: :joker:

In the phrases we are discussing they are.

Show me the grammar rule and I'll concede. But it is not a double negative.

[fingers]

Had you given this thread the title "Almost Nobody" we wouldn't be discussing this!

[Nemo123]

For a start, you ended this sentence with a preposition.

I'm was aware of that before I posted it, so I googled that first,

"Stranded prepositions are nothing to fret about

There are numerous myths relating to grammatical dos and don’ts, many of which were drummed into us at school. The one that stubbornly refuses to budge from my mind is the diktat ‘never begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but’. And why not, pray?*

Some of these groundless rules (termed ‘fetishes’ by Henry Fowler in 1926) have a long history. Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, some notable writers (aka Latin-obsessed 17th century introverts) tried to make English grammar conform to that of Latin – hence the veto on split infinitives and also the ruling against the ending of a sentence with a preposition (also called stranding or deferring a preposition).

These and other language myths are amazingly persistent, though, so who you gonna call? Oxford’s Myth Debunkers, of course! To kick off this occasional series, let’s try to zap the one about stranded prepositions and lay it to rest once and for all."

et cetera

[fingers]

In English, Barely and Almost are not interchangeable, not sure about in Irish! :joker::wavey:

[Marsh.]

I'm was aware of that before I posted it, so I googled that first,

Tut, tut.

[Nemo123]

Picking up on obvious typos now!

Nemo, if your spelling was as consistent as your arguments I'd forgive you the odd lapse!

Well this isn't an argument about spelling.

[Nemo123]

Doing barely no business is a common phrase in these parts, especially in the last few years.

I'm reporting the education standards in your local area.

It doesn't matter what common slang or phrases you hear, doesn't make it proper English.

I hear "I'm not doing nuffink" in Eastenders quite a lot, doesn't make it correct.

That's a clear double negative combined with cockneys inability to pronounce any word with th in it.

[Marsh.]

That's a clear double negative combined with cockneys inability to pronounce any word with th in it.

It's an example of slang local way of speaking that is not correct, which I'm presuming is the same for this phrase you claim to hear a lot. A phrase that has caught on with people even though it is technically not correct.

[Nemo123]

"Once a text has been drawn up the process is only half way through: as a matter of fact, barely nobody can produce a perfect draft, hence the final version is achieved through accurate proofreading."

This is the first sentence on a PROOFREADING website!

"EBL Italia not only translates texts but also revises pre-translated material and monolingual texts that need to be polished and perfected by our linguists.

Game, set and match to me I think!

[Livia]

Is "Barely" a negative?

Is English your second language, Nemo? I've never known anyone - even on here - to argue a point so quite fervently when they're clearly and demonstrably wrong. You're being intentionally obtuse because you're bored. And now... so am I.

[Marsh.]

An Italian website? Colour me convinced.

A link to the British Council's guide to grammar wasn't quite good enough for him, so naturally, he turned to the Italians, having nowhere else to go.
