Ambiguity

[Pe├▒a Oxford United]

Ambivalence.

[Snake]

Hi Ed, and it's nice to see you back on OUFC's best Internet forum, but what exactly is your point?

[A-Ro]

Anarchy?

[SmileyMan]

the news post has &quotabiguity&quot (something liable to more than one interpretation) where it should probably have had &quotambivalence&quot (a state of uncertainty or indeciciveness - indifference)

I would have pointed it out, but I a) appreciate RO too much, and b) am not a sad pedant

i thought POU's ambivalence was entirely unambiguious.

[Mally]

I think the ambiguity of the posting is in the writers statement of ambivalence at the same time as declaring himself to be entirely disenchanted.

Being simultaneously ambivalent and disenchanted is an ambiguous position and would suggest that neither is the true state of affairs.

I would additionally affirm that agitated is apparently an appropriate and authentic approximate assessment apropos the aforementioned ascribed announcement.

I forgot to say that this has to be taken in the context of being after Altrincham.

Ambivalence.

I concur.

Report has been duly amended.

Nothing wrong with pedantry.

There is an apostrophe in &quotwriter's&quot.

There is an apostrophe in &quotwriter's&quot.

Strictly, ' there should be an apostrophe in &quotwriter's&quot ' as, evidently, there wasn't an apostrophe in Mally's original text.

[Pe├▒a Oxford United]

I considered expressing myself in that way and chose not to because it was a little ambiguous, whereas my formulation is not.

[Ancient Colin]

I suppose that this would balance on the difference between a normative and a positive statement. The statement
&quot there is an apostrophe in 'it's &quot
is correct in a positive sense. Its validity as a normative statement would depend on context.

Bloody academics

Should United beat the Shots, it will set another club record for an unbeaten run in the league in one season.

It will indeed, but such a run will surely also be created if the match is drawn.

[Sideshow Rob]

Very interesting but when was that record set?
