#glider #supposed #fall
Bad luck! Codification manuals do not recognize this meaning.
A glider was supposed to fall in Martina on Saturday. Rescuers were currently on their way to the scene.
Or else:
A glider is said to have fallen in Martina. According to a report (I don’t know from where), a glider fell in Martin.
And so: the poor glider that evidently fell in Martin really should have reminded me of one thing: there are people among us – including the author of this text – who do not accept the easily stated use of the modal verb to have.

Namely: was he really supposed to kill the woman with an axe? Well, he didn’t! It’s the last thing in the world he should have done. Well, it happened, and since man is sometimes really capable of everything, we can also write that according to the legal judgment he was supposed to kill the woman with an axe. However, this is the moment when we don’t have to doubt whether he did it, but the body designated for it stated that he did.
There are people living among us who like the word debilitation. Let’s just add that “had” in the meaning of “supposedly” became an important landmark of the demonization movement.
At the same time, pour clean water (this is not a good time for wine). It has happened to me that I have committed this crime, because both positive and negative phenomena in the language are as contagious as the flu, and all of us, as many as there are in the world, utter obscenities.
Then I tried to see if it wasn’t at least formally correct. (Because it can always happen: you find a word disgusting, you get the impression that it shouldn’t be literary, and bang. Surprises also happen in the opposite direction – and why is this non-literary? Because a bear.)
Bad luck! Codification manuals do not recognize this meaning. Weak suspicion of the origin is raised only by the possibility of using the verb in this way: it expresses someone else’s opinion “this is supposed to be the new leader” – supposedly it is. We can easily see that this is not the case with the glider or the ax in question.
At the same time, another frequent inappropriate use of the otherwise very nice verb “to have” is recalled. It is most often committed by lawyers: “We believe that…” Apparently, language economy is also to blame, but we consider the formulations “we are convinced that…”, “we think”, “in our opinion” to be more appropriate. “we think”, “we think” and the like.
What about the poor glider? It fell on the substation and was about to catch fire. Supposedly. And this really expresses someone else’s opinion. In my opinion, it should have landed nicely and safely, and I’m sorry that it didn’t happen.
