SOPA and PIPA

[GONNAFISTYA]

As well as missing punctuation and upper-case letters.

'upper case'

[Tsakali]

there's no such thing as a flawed language, only a flawed usage of that language

spelling, for example

it's not flawed as per original design of some bucktooth, bible-loving morons. But it is flawed from a third party perspective. When I have to both read and hear a word before I can confidently claim that I understand that word, then there is a flaw. A good language should be absolute in its communication...both in written and spoken forms. English miserably fails on many occasions here. Context, is a requirement in order to make sense of things, and that's a shitty excuse for a language.

Only uneducated people get mad when their abysmal spelling and grammar is corrected.

Guerilla

you're both retarded

At least I just misspelled it. And, fuck u...

That's precisely why English is fun, cuz you can squeeze so much out of so little.

[Tsakali]

as artistic expression sure, but that's different.

then all languages are shit, because none are meaningful without context

you should probably just stop now

Only a pompous crowd like the Brits could have devised such an unnecessarily nebulous language. How this testosterone drenched drivel made it as the 'international' language is beyond me.

Dearest creature in creation
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I: Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar.
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamor
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and droll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangor.
Soul but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, knob, bosom, transom, oath.
Through the differences seem little,
We say actual, but also victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, Conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succor, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye.
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.

Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, brass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging.
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here, but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation - think of Psyche!
Is it paling, stout and spiky?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale, Islington and Isle of Wight, Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough -
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give it up!

Seremtan, wtf are you talking about. I'm talking about words that totally overlap each other either verbally and/or in the way they are spelled. And most of all, the nearly complete disconnect between the way words are spelled and the way they are verbalized. Sure, you homos attempt at having some sort of 'guidelines' of how this is done, but there are so many 'exceptions to the rule' that there might as well not be any guidelines. Yes other languages do it too, but from what I've seen english is in a class of its own.
No wonder the entire scientific field is using greek terminology. I can only imagine the mess you'd create trying to come up with naming conventions of your own.

Use the IPA if you're going to cry about the master race's alphabet.

sly goalpost shifting detected

what have issues about inconsistent spelling got to do with "context being required to make sense of things"? also, "overlap each other verbally" - wtf does that mean?

(btw can i just point out that the misspelling of yours that originally kicked this off - guerrilla - is actually a spanish word )

[Tsakali]

I am not shifting, I am just adding onto the pile that is the english shenanigans. 'overlap' is just a descriptive word I used to point out that alot of words are sharing too many similar characteristics , that it somewhat forces their pronunciation to essentially sound the same... you can choose to simply understand this, or just keep trolling.
and yes I know a spanish word is what started this, but you homos have been ridding me with little spelling mistakes all the time, so I decided to tell you how it is.


I don't remember ever seeing the word in written form so I assumed it was gorilla (goes back to the inconsistencies of written to spoken forms of a word), because it sounds exactly the same, especially when you account for the multitude of diff. accents out there...and this very fine point happens a lot in the english language.

In general, if you choose to sit there and play grammar teacher, instead of simply accepting the point I am trying to put across then that's your choice. I would prefer that you concentrate on the substance rather than it's syntax... I'm not trying to become a literary delight, or impress you with my fondling of the english language. If you choose to measure cognition on my ability to formulate english sentences, then that's your loss. Sure this is a troll, sure I am upset Randy style , but my point still stands.

So here we are, about 15 messages deep, and we have gone off topic, because of your inbred inability to look beyond your little arrogant excuse for a language.
go ahead, say tl/dr...it will be an instant classic. Surely Lawl wont be far behind to find spelling errors on this post , and possibly even xer0s taking a nibble, so I'm looking forward to more luls.

Apparently I sidetracked my own thread. Go figure.
