I dont really bother with pronouns.

'the' is an article not a pronoun mate ?

 

[davids]

Ok David.

No,it isn't David.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

No if you look very closely it's davids. Starts lower case. It's an acronym.?

Oooooo, let's play guess the acronym.

Dirty Avacados Violently Invading Desperate Stinkholes?

I'm not basing that guess on anything specific, but it would be great if it is.

I am happy to apologise to @davids if I misunderstood but I took his comment to mean the US were holding back info but I really don’t see that being the case and this adds to that

Someone who did know the exact date and time of the invasion was Putin as he ordered it but somehow that isn’t important apparently.

Call it 'the Ukraine ' to a Ukrainian they'll probably not be happy mate

This has been a big bugbear for me throughout this thread but I haven’t bothered to bring it up as things are already uneasy enough in hear and I usually stay out of it all

Yeah it has a very big grammatical reason why it matters in reality.

 

[Goat]

Do you mean the one that was a total fabrication?

Yes.

Never really sure with you Goat

I actually used it a few years ago in lessons with more advanced students to explain Articles and how language is ever changing

I’ll be honest I didn’t know the importance of the difference before the war. But I read up on it early on when everyone (understandably) started using Kyiv rather than Kiev. I know it’s not the same reason for the difference but it’s what lead me to it
