• Rafa: "Djok would of been more sore than I"

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Pelle_Svansl=c3=b6s?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 19 16:26:31 2023
    In a major interview with Movistar+ in Spain, Nadal was asked about Djokovic’s Grand Slam dominance and he appeared to suggest the records
    mean more to the world No 1 than they do to him.

    “I am not frustrated for a simple reason – within my possibilities, I
    have done everything to make things as good as possible,” Nadal
    explained to Juanma Castano when asked whether he was disappointed to
    lose the Grand Slam title race with Djokovic.

    “Yes, you can live frustrated with 22 Grand Slams, for example, Novak
    lives it in a more intense way. For him, it would have been a greater frustration not to achieve it. Perhaps that is why he achieved it.”

    Okie dokie. Yet, from the same interview:

    “The truth is that I haven’t sent any message to Djokovic yet out of
    pure ignorance. When you win something so important, from experience I
    know it’s better to take the time to appreciate that message. I’ll send
    it but I haven’t done it yet,” said the Mallorcan.

    “Of course, I sent messages to [Carlos] Alcaraz when he won or when he
    was about to win. The others – on the circuit I don’t have many friends left, I’m from another generation. I talk to Federer every now and
    then,” revealed Nadal.

    Alcatraz gets a grats when he was about to win. Djok not, when he
    actually did win. The 24th! Humbelina!

    "Boo hoo hoo!"

    Maybe he hopes Carlos will bend over for him when he comes back. Maybe he will.

    They all pushed each other to extreme limits, and I believe if we had only one of them in the last 20 years, we wouldn't have seen the craziness we witnessed, these three winning 65+ slams. That player would have retired much earlier.

    Djok wants it more. He's quite mad you know. Borderline mental illness.

    As for English, I think you're wrong... and Bard agrees with me:

    -

    The correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.

    The word “of” in the phrases you mentioned is incorrect. The correct word to use is “have”.

    Here’s a breakdown of the correct phrase:

    “would have been”: This is the correct form of the verb “to be” in the conditional past tense.

    “more sore than”: This is a comparison between two people’s level of soreness.

    “I”: This is the correct pronoun to use when comparing two subjects.
    So, the correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.

    Yes, everyone should know this by now. But what was more interesting to me was the use of "than". It depends if you use it as a conjunction or a preposition.

    "Djok would of been more sore than me" even.
    Djok wants it more. He's quite mad you know. Borderline mental illness.

    As for English, I think you're wrong... and Bard agrees with me:

    -

    The correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.

    The word “of” in the phrases you mentioned is incorrect. The correct
    word to use is “have”.

    Here’s a breakdown of the correct phrase:

    “would have been”: This is the correct form of the verb “to be” in the
    conditional past tense.

    “more sore than”: This is a comparison between two people’s level of >> soreness.

    “I”: This is the correct pronoun to use when comparing two subjects.
    So, the correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.

    This was pointed out long back but Pelle continues to favor that "of" usage. Whisper likes to use the word "cower" instead of the word "cowed" (pointed out by Gracchus).

    I was suspecting such horseplay.

    it's a common grammatical mistake by people who went to school in England, it's cos "should of" is how "should've" sounds when you say it over here.

    Examples?
    These have already been up. Example: "Djok would of been more sore than I".

    Conjunction: "Djok would of been more sore than I am"
    Proposition: "Djok would of been more sore than me".

    Subject v object.

    The "Djok of have been more sore that me" flew past the cuckoo in the bend.

    The Finnish language does not have, or at least to my knowledge does not have prepositions. It uses mostly postsuffixes. But I'm from Zansibar. --
    "would of" looks strange to me. Never heard of that usage before.
    it's a common grammatical mistake by people who went to school in England, it's cos "should of" is how "should've" sounds when you say it over here.

    Yeah. "Would of" sounds weird. "Should of" too.

    Okie dokie. Yet, from the same interview:

    “The truth is that I haven’t sent any message to Djokovic yet out of
    pure ignorance. When you win something so important, from experience >>> I know it’s better to take the time to appreciate that message. I’ll
    send it but I haven’t done it yet,” said the Mallorcan.

    “Of course, I sent messages to [Carlos] Alcaraz when he won or when >>> he was about to win. The others – on the circuit I don’t have many >>> friends left, I’m from another generation. I talk to Federer every >>> now and then,” revealed Nadal.

    Alcatraz gets a grats when he was about to win. Djok not, when he
    actually did win. The 24th! Humbelina!

    "Boo hoo hoo!"


    Maybe he hopes Carlos will bend over for him when he comes back. Maybe >> he will.

    The ofs and the of-nots. "Djok would of been more sore than I" vs
    "Djok of have been more sore that me" vs "Djok would of been more sore >> that I am". The eternal debate 🤔


    "Djok would of been more sore than me" even.
    Djok wants it more. He's quite mad you know. Borderline mental illness.

    As for English, I think you're wrong... and Bard agrees with me:

    -

    The correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.

    The word “of” in the phrases you mentioned is incorrect. The correct word to use is “have”.

    Here’s a breakdown of the correct phrase:

    “would have been”: This is the correct form of the verb “to be” in the
    conditional past tense.

    “more sore than”: This is a comparison between two people’s level of soreness.

    “I”: This is the correct pronoun to use when comparing two subjects. So, the correct phrase is “would have been more sore than I”.
    this "should of" thing is what gave away Pelle as being from England a while ago, it surprising considering he went to school in the USA for a bit too and is such an obvious academic.

    I think you may be right here.

    He wants it more because he was/is maligned where as Nadal/Federer were put up on pedestals. This is his FU.

    But, let's not kid ourselves. The other two Big Three players wanted it too. You can't win 20+ slams and be milquetoast. They're all super competitive and would rip somebody's eyes out for a big title.

    Sampras would have played on for 5 more yrs if he knew these 3 were

    And then of course there was Borg retiring. I'm not sure Pete ever got over that.
