Troll
an mtb
Hairychested
Why?
because it's wrong and people never used to say it that way.
The form an for the indefinite article is used before a spoken vowel sound, regardless of how the written word is spelt. If you say 'an otel' when speaking (which is now often regarded as distinctly old-fashioned), then it may be appropriate for you to write 'an hotel'; but most people say 'hotel' with a sounded 'h', and should write 'a hotel'.By contrast, words such as 'honour', 'heir' or 'hour' in which the 'h' sound is dropped are written with 'an'. Americans who drop the 'h' in 'herb' may also prefer to write 'an herb', but in standard British pronunciation the 'h' is sounded, and 'a herb' is therefore correct in writing. Because 'European' is said with an initial 'y' sound, which counts as a consonantal sound in English speech, it is said (and written) with 'a' not 'an'. An abbreviation such as M.P., which is pronounced em pea, begins with a spoken vowel, and so it is 'an M.P.'
'pulls up chair' really gets my goat.
general offering of and asking for biscuits , beer, tea etc? What are they on? I'm surprised the carers let them post on forums in the first place.
'glentress, where to stay?' or variants of, there's a search function people!
GhostRider - 'TLA' isn't actually an acronym, since it doesn't make a word.
I hate pedants on here

Steed

'warning...content'
'makes you pick your lines'
RANT
And any thread berating anyone who so much as breaths on another cyclist, but when a cyclist clearly breaks the law or does something wrong... its not their fault, must be someones else/they were within their right. Blinkers on...
i hate all the roadbiking stuff
should be in the chat forum
"Bru"
No offence intended to the author.
"Poss. for sale"
It either is for sale so advertise it or it's not for sale so don't.
"bant"
I must confess I get quite upset by the poor spelling and grammar I find littered throughout the forums.
Oh, and I don't like getting called "matey". It's well ****y IMHO!
i know. I never even figured out what the f*** WTF means either.

If you look at sum of mi other postes TLA makes a wurd...OK end of... GTFSA.
{I'd put a smiley here but it never works for me}
See what I mean?
FAIL
Sorry - Isn't TLA a supposed acronym for 'Three Letter Acronym', when in fact it isn't an acronym, as it's not a word? Or something.
🙂
'makes my piss boil' makes my piss boil
Three Letter Abbreviation isn't it?
MrSmith - Member.... An abbreviation such as M.P., which is pronounced em pea, begins with a spoken vowel, and so it is 'an M.P.'
Care to tell us again why 'an mtb' is wrong? mtb = em tee bee
For some reason people on this forum describe something with a damaged thread as "threaded" which makes no sense to me.
You wanna know what I really hate?
What I really hate is all this chat about bikes and ridin' 'em; and the sh!t that goes with it; and this nonsense about emi-/immigrating; and the tits on 'that'; and the merits (or otherwise) of this/that/the other; and the physical attributes of so-and-so; and the creepy shadow over my shoulder; and the bulge in my front tyre; and moderators; AND the compulsive nature of excessive alcohol consumption.
God! I'm [i]so[/i] drunk,and completely [i]anal[/i] about my spelling/grammar/punctuation; and [i]frightfully middle-class[/i]. Please forgive me.
Is it just me?
Me personally
LOL (for a long time I thought it meant Lots of Love)
Simples.
an mtb is wrong as it is the same as saying "an mountain terrain bike" - should be "a mtb"
Most people say mountain bike. Unless you go round saying mtb, which would make you both unique and right[code] :-).

Why??
Not trolling.. Genuine interest.. As a Saffa we use it all the time like you would use " mate"..
"buttery smooth"
"props"
"do-it-all bike"
Perhaps everyone needs to take a deep breath and count to 10! Relax.....
ROLF, wrong. It's the phonetics that dictate if it's [i]a[/i] or [i]an[/i]. So it's an MTB but a mountain bike.
People who don't say "I've got...." or "my bike is fitted with....", but "I'm running....."
For example, rather than "I've got XT cranks on my bike & they are crap...." peaople write "I'm running XT cranks on my bike & they are crap....."
"running"??
People who use SINGLESPEED or SS instead of just BIKE. As in "I was out on my singlespeed yesterday when...."
PLUSH (suspension)
It makes it sound soft and squidgy
"Makes my piss boil" makes my sh1t itch
It seems to have dwindled a bit lately, but people who put FACT after what they're asserting, as that clearly gives their half-baked opinion more weight
smiley faces
🙂
...oh and freeride-light.???
The use of the word 'wee' by non Scots, or Scots.
another vote for 'steed'
'Wee in his shoes' - wasn't funny the first time, still not funny.
Though I wouldn't say it actively pisses me off, I have never come even close to rolling on the floor laughing at anything I have seen or read on the internet. No offence, ROFL/ralph/Rob. I am sure your login was chosen in this light.
Oh, FTW does get on my pip a bit.
if things like the above get on your tits don,t post/read on here .
what sort of life are you leading man by posting this crap in the first place & worse still im now as bad as you.
im now off to re-enter my wife ,......i mean life
"Grinds my gears"
"pissed" in the wrong context. In Britain pissed means that you are drunk. The term you are forelornly searching for is "pissed off", when referring to being annoyed about something.
Any 'Americanisms'. This is Britain.
"Discuss". **** off, we're not in exam conditions. If you want to start a debate then don't just make a bland statement and add 'discuss' to the end, construct your viewpoint better and put some effort into it.
bit old skool (!) but "made from a solid lump of billet" used to wind me up.
'my bad' What?
'bru' as in iron bru?
'thread closed' so knowone else has any experience then?
'what tyre for ****' if you're asking a question like this it's 'which' not 'what'
roadie questions in a mountain bike forum when there's a perfectly good road forum link on the righthand side of every page.
MTB means Multi Terrain Bike (like VTT in French - Velo Toutes Terrains).
But what I detest more than everything is calling a bike "her" or "she".
Yeurrggh.
The use of the word 'wee' by non Scots, or Scots.
Any 'Americanisms'. This is Britain.
Och, are yon poor wee Middle Class Englishmen feeling a teensy bit threatened? Bless. You should move to your nearest country border and defend it to the hilt from marauding foreign language!

end of/thread closed/fail/simples all memes that need to die.
last I checked the internet was a global thing and STW magazine sold to everywhere. Some of the of the people on here are not based or from the Uk, Gods dammit there may even be some Americans. Unless when you go to American/Estonian/Japanese sites you stop being English/Scottish/Welsh or the other one then I apologise.Any 'Americanisms'. This is Britain.
If you don't know, STW works under the tenet "you don't have to be from here to be here" I swear I did not make that up, anyways stop trying to fence off STW and it's global participants dude. This is the global system of interconnected computer networks.
yeah dude, chillax. mate you literally need to get rad on an MTB and shred.
