Alright, Hos, close her down. This thread has run it's course.
No, it actually hasn't. People decided that arguing about the proper way to compare things using the english language versus anything substantive. Thats run its course not the topic of this duscussion.
Ever since Hos started doing this book he went from having pet peeves to a whole menagerie of them. Mistaking your for youre or failing to punctuate contractions, punctuation in general, capitalization, blah blah blah. He has become the grammar police.
The real heart of the matter is whether or not anyone was confused by canuck saying '4x' or whether they understood that he meant 'significantly' better.
Then you have people like pep piling on when all I can think of is 'who ****ing cares?'
To me the intelligent reaction to the easily interpreted hyperbole is 'is Atogwe significantly better than Hamlin,' or
'how is the prognosis of his shoulder injury and does he have a history of injury problens,' or
'can we really wait until June or will the Rams actually move on him before them,' or
pretty much a whole slew of substantive questions rather than this grammar discussion thats been going on for three pages.
