    Hearing an English teacher ask a pupil to return a book to the front of the class. She replied that she had, the teacher then says " My Bad" :(

    The teacher used a perfectly normal and acceptable colloquialism. What a monster.
    My Bad is not acceptable, it's gibberish.
    Better write to Cambridge University and let them know your undoubtedly qualified opinion.

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/my-bad

    Teachers ought to encouraged to speak in terms accessible to those they are teaching instead of enforcing what the previous generation might consider to be better English (in their own opinion).
    The problem with this is when it reaches the real world. A teacher might deem "my bad", "innit" or any other nonsense phrase that they think endears them to the "kids" as appropriate, but when that pupil sits in front of a future employer in the professional world and utters such gibberish, then they aren't going far. If teachers (and Cambridge University) have any aspirations for their pupils, then they should stick to what is appropriate, rather than what is seen as cool (and the same goes for tattoos all over your body and the inability to tuck a shirt in / polish a pair of shoes...)
    Bit of a hyperbole there. You consider it a nonsense phrase. Most people don't, hence why it has entered the common lexicon. I imagine you've never attended any kind of teacher training or pedagogy lesson, because probably the quickest way to turn off your students is to reprimand them for the way they talk when it has nothing to do with the lesson at hand. If they are being given training for an interview then yes, by all means teach them that employers will expect formal conversation and to avoid colloquialisms. Otherwise just carry on with the lesson. Teachers have far more to be getting on with than trying to get their students to speak in the what the previous generation considers to be formal language. Also a bit out of order for someone who is a guest in the classroom to come on here behind their back and criticise the teacher when they themselves don't seem to have as good a grasp on the English language as they think. Seems like the only person who would have had a problem with what happened in that classroom was the one person who didn't even need to be there.
    I think you've got that wrong, most people don't use it, most people think it's moronic, many under 30 might think it's commonly used, but it's really not!
    It's the phrase of the fool.
    Do you have evidence for this?
    Yes.
    Ok, share it then.
  • Do you have a thing against Morse code @stackitsteve?

    Yeah!! I was letting everyone know my favourite mobile phone network, but I decided to be quirky and send it in 2 messages.

    Teams, of any sport, that wear their second or third kits when they're playing at home.

    It's a home kit. You're at home. Wear it, stop this crap marketing exercise to try and shift club shop merchandise.

    Agreed... England wore their away kit against Germany for the reason that they felt that fans who purchased the away kit should deserve to see it being worn - Am sorry but if you buy an AWAY kit then you should only ever expect it to be seen AWAY

    Or should we be demanding that our own away kit be worn against MK Dons this Saturday because we've not seen it this season?

  • Needlessly changing to an away kit when a home kit would be ok is a big annoyance.
    Usually its just to please sponsors too which makes it worse.

    No mate, Im not wrong, everyone sounds like a bell when they use the phrase 'my bad'.
    I generally tell people to fuck off when they keep chipping away on a bloody football forum and dont have the brains to understand that they wont change my mind when Im right.
    Also I find it amusing that you have this impression in your minds eye that I'm having a 'hissy fit' when I tell you to fuck off.
    Im not but you can still fuck off. Smiley thing (so you dont go all nancy)

    lol you really do need to read what you're writing sometimes mate, before talking about throwing hissyfits and the like.

    I've never seriously told anyone to fuck off on here, in the whole time I've posted. Out of respect for the people who run it, I've blocked meself and then come back a few months later.

    But as I think you've been told though, you've got a habit of getting under people's skin, even on tongue-in-cheek threads like this. You don't know when to shut up ffs
    I wasn't referring to you but maybe you could take your own advice on some of these points (read what you write sometimes, getting under people's skin, never knowing when to shut up). Most of my mentions seem to be from you trying to get a reaction. Says it all really.
