Rep Points, the Universe and Everything, Now with MAGNETS

[Iskandra]

Well, o.k. but some of these words are quite heavy and some have pointy edges.

Never mind, but you would want to pity the poor words...if you throw words at a linguist, the linguist usually goes "Wow, great! a zero-derivation! *mumble* *poke* *lost in linguist heaven*"

I can bring you to linguist hell....just by showing you the Dutch grammar.

I think youl find its Replicarter, not RepliCarter.

Picky...picky. However, I shall do my best to not 'replicate' the error in the future.

[Ancient 1]

Yeah; that sucked and all. Good thing I'm immune to mortal weapons.

Well, then...no harm done. Do you think Santa Clause saw me shooting up the bar?

*begins to conjure a lightning bolt to see if that might have any effect*

[Ancient 1]

Thank you gatelover12. I have now been worded to death, but what an experience.

I prefer purple flowers at my funeral. Way not smart enough for this forum sometimes.

Do I sense oral gratification on your part?

Hah! Call that a force of nature! I've heard language on Stargate that was more shocking than that.

Well, it's like the song:

He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows if you're awake,
He knows if you've been engaging in random acts of senseless violence,
So make sure you don't shoot up any bars.

Well, how about a little fire to heat things up?

[Mr Prophet]

What are you, the wicked witch of the west? "How about a little fire, Scarecrow!"

Flame-grilled tuna steak, anyone? (cooked over the barbeque, squeeze of lemon juice on each side; fit for a king).

Probably not - after all, I'm German and I studied Old English And after having seen the things that Ancient Egyptian grammar does...bring it on!

[greytop]

Work is a clean, dirty four-letter word.

German is so much easier than Dutch! I can master almost every language with ease, but even after 12 years of learning Dutch I can't write it without major mistakes..

But if you want I'll start with the present:
I am => Ik ben
You are => Jij/Je bent.

Now look when I turn it into a question:
Am I? => Ben ik?
Are you? => Ben jij/je?

Or the difference between jouw en jou......Ds and Ts....

I go to bed....and wake up on my birthday only to find out....that I'm finally glowing!!!
A million billion thanks to everyone!!! This is just so awesome!!!

Glowing could be a bad thing, too!

Ich bin, du bist....bin ich, bist du...sounds like German...
But I know what you mean - it's those darn endings that change (the difference between sythetic and analytic languages...er....sorry....I digress....)

But in Ancient Egyptian you sometimes don't even know whether a word is a noun or a verb...or something entirely different...

I *may* be hurt if someone throws the word "work" at me....I guess I don't have a protection against *that*

[TechnoWraith]

That's because back then, you drew pictures instead of writing words.
