There's a big difference. . Sorry the ex teacher in me won't go. Hate to be a pedant (lies) but I think disinterested is one of the words like 'literally' which the has been changed by the OED to mean the thing which it is mostly used as - Along with it's more traditional use Pretty sure if you check it will say that disinterested can be used in the same was as uninterested The OED is there to reflect the common usage of language not define it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The difference between disinterested and uninterested is often controversial. According to traditional guidelines, disinterested should never be used to mean ‘not interested’ (i.e. it is not a synonym for uninterested) but only to mean ‘impartial’, as in 'the judgements of disinterested outsiders are likely to be more useful'. Ironically, the earliest recorded sense of disinterested is for the disputed sense. Today, the ‘incorrect’ use of disinterested is widespread: around a quarter of citations in the Oxford English Corpus for disinterested are for this sense."

DCFC1388 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Don't think he would offer us anything different to Nugent + Vydra, Rowett has said he wants a different type of forward and has mentioned power & pace - don't think McCormack offers any of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the start of silly mkmeynsigbings in the championship, and the end of 'barker type fee' being a marquee statement. Best word ever.

Coneheadjohn Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 A very high quality replacement is being lined up to replace Tom Ince. It's Ross 'I don't know how to open my gate' McCormack. Not a chance if there's any sanity at the club...please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to confuse things more the noun of disinterested is disinterestedness but the noun of uninterested is disinterest. OK back to the thread. McCormack? No thanks. He shows complete disinterest in training. See what I did there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EulogyForEvolution Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 What's Shefki Kuqi doing these days? Could we bring him out of retirement to act as a backup for Martin? Would be cheaper and would definitely put more effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the age of players rowetts been signing perhaps what he actually said was " we may need some additional pacemakers " and he's been tragically misquoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I stick by my original comment after we signed Huddlestone ...the next one or two signings will tell me where we are heading ...I think they will be younger and big money stella signings personally...and will back up GRs comment about Inces replacement ...we have enough 30+ players now...surely ?

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 He will be about as much use as an injured Bent if he doesn't bother turning up to train and lumbers around like he has swallowed a space hopper like last season at Forest.

Anag Ram Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Might take 6 months to get him fit. Bit disappointed talk of Lawrence (young and dynamic ) has been overtaken by talk of Big Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
