Moon - the way you phrased your previous post made it look like Colombia stopped england from qualifying, but you meant from the group stages as opposed to initial qualification.

I don't doubt that Colombia could well keep the poofs from getting out of the group, as well, it is a game after all. Geography however dictates that Colombia can't stop England from qualifying for the world cup itself, was my point!

Notts County.

Nottingham Forest.

Is it so difficult?

6 extra letters to type

(+1)

And another two extra letters avoided by not spelling out the number. Not using punctuation saves some time too.

Why don't you just start typing in SMS speak? Imagine how much time you would save then.

And since you're prone to not understanding things unless thrown right into your face:

Type in English or don't type anything at all.

You all understand who Notts. Forest are though, don't you?

As apposed to no-one understanding:

U al undrstand hu Nots Forst r tho, dnt u?

See Big differance.

But still, sorry, it'll being Nottingham Forest for all you Forest fans from now on

In any case, the usual abbreviation for Forest is "Nott'm" (or, at least, "Nottm"). Nottingham being the city, Nottinghamshire - or "Notts", in abbreviated form - being the county. Which'd be why the former needs a different abbreviation to the latter. Even Wikipedia gets that one right.

In any case, it's "difference". And there is a subtle difference between "it'll be" and "it'll being". One of them is grammatically incorrect. Take a guess.
