[2014-8-13. : 6:17 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I would say "Kweewee" because I thought it was funny, but I knew it was incorrect.  [2014-8-13. : 6:15 pm]  Devourer -- But but... but... you also say "q" and not "queue"  yeah I know. When I was young and learned that word I somehow managed to get it wrong in my head and old habits die hard [2014-8-13. : 6:14 pm] NudeRaider -- did you see that ludicrous display last night? (almost worse that ridiculous) [2014-8-13. : 6:12 pm] NudeRaider -- well yeah, those words are a little tricky. Nothing a little training can help with though.  [2014-8-13. : 6:11 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Informally DMY in French-Canada because of French, and MDY because of English (and the article gave the same explanation I did "because of the influences from the United States, and because of the way Canadians say dates in English (e.g., "January 1st, 2014")" xD). [2014-8-13. : 6:10 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- There's a whole wikipedia article on it. xD Canada uses YMD, apparently. [2014-8-13. : 6:10 pm]  Alzarath -- Not really, Dev. Maybe 'necessary' at one point, but it's just something you have to consciously memorize a little. [2014-8-13. : 6:08 pm] NudeRaider -- Alzarath -- Should just be YMD across the board. >>> Truer words have never been spoken [2014-8-13. : 6:08 pm] Devourer -- Anyone else has problems with the words "ridiculously" and "necessary"? [2014-8-13. : 6:08 pm] NudeRaider -- No offense devo, but it's not very articulate to use 'like' too often. It's commonly used colloquially. And from what I can judge from movies it's the dumb gangster guys and silly bitches using it the most. [2014-8-13. : 6:08 pm] Alzarath -- I wish that was consistent. How are you supposed to differentiate month and day if the day's less than 13? Should just be YMD across the board. [2014-8-13. : 6:06 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "YMD, DMY, MDY Canada (30)" apparently they use all of them. [2014-8-13. : 6:06 pm] NudeRaider -- careful Alz, knowing Devo he's probably not far away from actually doing it [2014-8-13. : 6:05 pm] Devourer -- Yep, I have noticed my ridicolously high usage of that word lately. [2014-8-13. : 6:04 pm] NudeRaider -- but haha that's actually a good cheat sheet devo. 8th graders should use it during their German tests [2014-8-13. : 6:04 pm] Alzarath -- Someone needs to write a script that counts how many times Dev says 'like'. [2014-8-13. : 6:03 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Apparently it's the French's fault we don't have a definite distinction between 'you' and 'you (all)' [2014-8-13. : 6:02 pm] Devourer -- Like, there is this unwritten rule: if you say that sentence, whereever you could make a brief pause and it would not like sound weird (or you can change your voice-height), you add a ",". [2014-8-13. : 6:02 pm] NudeRaider -- Well the point is that I want to change that aspect of English (as per Devos picture). Of course I won't go out of my way and start talking that way. [2014-8-13. : 6:01 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like before Latin, I wasn't even aware of those nominative, accusative, dative or genitive. [2014-8-13. : 6:00 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Based on my experience with foreign language (which is very little), I'm happy that English drops like gender-nouns and crazy word endings. xD We have like 3, and all of them are 's'es. [2014-8-13. : 5:59 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Except in English nobody says "First January", so everybody was confused unless they just for some reason were insightful enough to know what you're talking about. [2014-8-13. : 5:59 pm] Devourer -- Learn german, three friggin' articles and stuff. Germans in general would not be able to explain the correct grammar of our own language to any foreigner (or to another German) [2014-8-13. : 5:58 pm] Devourer -- english is kept simple though; basic communication is easy to achieve and learn in that language, but english does not really limit you [2014-8-13. : 5:58 pm] NudeRaider -- around here nobody gets confused when you're talking about the first January. We're just used to it. Wouldn't be any different in English. [2014-8-13. : 5:58 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- English is a mess because we take the words, syntax and word structures from loads of different languages. xD [2014-8-13. : 5:57 pm] Devourer -- ok can we please forgot about taht one shout by me? that wasn't good. [2014-8-13. : 5:57 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Except that's more in relation to 6, they're not exactly saying "30 6" [2014-8-13. : 5:57 pm] NudeRaider -- but when we're going into the language sector I need to shut the fuck up. [2014-8-13. : 5:56 pm] Devourer -- I am probably nitpicking there but it probably would drive me mad if people around me would use that order. Like, 6:30 pm you wouldn't say "Oh yeah it is 30 minutes 6 o'clock" or whatever [2014-8-13. : 5:56 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- if you said "First January" people would way more confused. Like the first one in relation to what? [2014-8-13. : 5:55 pm] NudeRaider -- When you're too lazy to press shift then why not decide to not-capitalize it [2014-8-13. : 5:55 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- or two-thousand fourteen, but it's easier to say twenty. [2014-8-13. : 5:54 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I guess you could skip the 'of' before 2014. like "January first twenty-fourteen" nobody would even notice |
