Pictured above is the cast of Bend It Like Beckham: The Musical wishing England luck in the Women’s FIFA World Cup with a cheer and a banner that’s in very desperate need of a comma.
(In case you were wondering, the phrase “come on” is used in the UK in the same way we in North America use “let’s go” to cheer someone on.)
Here’s the tweet from which it came, which also features a video:
Now for a special message for #ENG from the West End cast of @BendItMusical… COME ON ENGLAND! #lionesses https://t.co/AyDAtqtfBl

It’s been only a year since I last posted an article titled For the want of a comma. Clearly, we’ve learned nothing.
