Dvorak Feb 2014 12:44pm, 28 Feb 2014 8,377 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak People, (football commentators seem especially guilty) who say that something just about happened, when, in fact, it did happen. Eg "the keeper just about kept that one out" when a save has been made - no, the keeper did keep that one out; if he had just about kept it out, it would be a goal!
