I remember my son saying a few years ago "we're versing Glenelg this week". Naturally I replied with "Singing with them or about them?". A puzzled look came my way as if to suggest I'm an idiot.


YES, all kids say "versing" these days, does my head in, glad Im not the only one.

Not just kids, either, heard quite a few AFL footballers talking who they are "versing" next.

Not doing much to dispel the footballer stereotype...

Sorry guys, I forgot the Grand Poobah of annoyances in grammar, putting "then" instead of "than" in a sentence.

looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more then a feeling
(More then a feeling)
