Campaign Against Use of the Term 'EPL'

Right, this is actually something I feel quite strongly about.

I can imagine someone like you losing sleep.

Well here's something I hope keeps you up all night.

In The States you have to say EPL and there's still a good chance people won't know what you're talking about. I think it will be easier in a few years when it really is the EPL (Etihad Premier League).

Of course they could just go with ADUGPL...

Also ban:

Roster when they mean Squad

In and Out when they mean On and Off

Bop when they mean Head

Pipes when they mean Posts

Jersey when they mean Shirt

Expelled from the Pitch when they mean Sent Off

Season when referring to a Series on TV

Commercial when they mean an Advert

The use of Bunch as a collective noun for EVERYTHING


The use of Suck/s, not as a verb, but for something they don't like

Movie when they mean Film

etc etc

Too much of this is creeping in, and no one is stopping it.
The things in bold are either never said in America or used far less than you seem to think (eg. bunch). Movies are becoming increasingly shot on digital media so the use of the word 'film' is quickly becoming technically incorrect.
 
What a complete waste of time. All the things in this world to be upset about and you've chosen this?

Does anyone on here say 'SLL' or 'Spanish La Liga'? No.

Does anyone on here say 'ISA' or 'Italian Serie A'? No.

Does anyone on here say 'German Bundesliga'? No.

There's only ONE EACH of La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga but there are several Premier Leagues. You don't need to qualify La Liga with Spanish but you sometimes do with PL. My pedantic moment for today is over.
