In other words: You have no idea what the criterial for earning the badge is; therfore, you also have no idea that the people about whom you’re complaining did not earn the badge.

“Criterial”? Are you from Bristol? 😃

Not even close to Bristol. That’s just a typo.

Do you ask them what colour is the boathouse at Hereford?

Make sure to pronounce it “HEER-fuhd”, though, otherwise they’ll catch on right quick.

Fair enough. (To those not in the know, the oddest and most prevalent peculiarity of Bristolian dialect is that any word ending in a weak vowel acquires an “l” as a kind of bookend. Few Bristolians would be likely to use the word “criteria” in any case but fewer still would be those who, even when being interviewed on camera, could refrain from pronouncing it like **Monty** spelled it.)
