Nagel   10 #2 Posted January 3, 2014 What's wrong with the words gave and given? Sorry, but the use of the word 'gifted' is a pet hate of mine.  Land given to the people of Sheffield  I am trying to find who gave the land at Stannington for the park. I think that it may have been one of the Dukes of Norfolk or the Talbot family, but I cant find anyone who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The557 Â Â 10 #9 Posted January 5, 2014 HMM Just tried to put my pennyworth in and was advised that I was not logged in...which ..unless I am on Mars, I was!! Ah well..; Must admit that using 'gifted', puzzles me. Over here in Dah Nundah, the 11 year olds are using 'gotten', because most of the TV junk is Merkn..also the library is infested with Merkn fiction. My English teacher, Miss Meehan, would have displayed a severe frown and asked "Why did you choose that adjective instead of the verb??"
