Games/matches and field/pitch wouldn't jar with me. I would happily use all 4 words. I wouldn't say two are American and the other two British, but roster/squad is definitely attributable to one country or the other. Anyway, I know what you meant and that's the main thing - just don't do it again.

Interesting. "Squad" or "roster" wouldn't really matter here. Most anybody would know what you were taking about. "Pitch", "kit", "boots", etc. either they wouldn't have a clue or they would think you were referring to something else.

I get weird looks sometimes when I'm reading "thefightingcock" on my iPad on mass transit. Would that happen in England? I actually have no idea.

Depends on how weird you look I suppose.

No. It's bullshit.

Let them have "Roster" and then next it'll be "Prem-Ear league Sokka", a "zero-zero shut out", a "soccer field" and colourful "cleats"

"Water breaks", is it? ...Yeah, like fuck it was! :lamelaaghh:

Nope, in the spirit of US popular custom I actually suggest we create a list of words that should come with Trigger Warnings

Agreed. If the A word can be filtered to its correct terminology of Woolwich, then certain words such as soccer & roster could be similarly filtered & translated into their correct form for the more discerning fan.

CRICKET: As explained to a foreigner...

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
