The Amazing English Language...

[CodeCat]

He called me English! Now I'll get the IRA to bomb his house!! (Nah, just kidding. The IRA are stupid. )

And nope, the English say Wuster.

In English, isn't the proper pronounciation Werchester?

Well we know your not a Mass native

[Moddex]

You're right, I'm native American. Yep, Cherokee Indian.

[The J.A.M.]

Parangaricutirim?cuaro.

[Caoimhin]

and just the English language in general

I'd just like to note that, as someone thought I was saying pronouncing the letter "Z" as "Zed" rather than "Zee" was wrong. Also is "Eleventy" a word? There was that one use it The Hobbit, but then I saw the same word used in the webcomic WolfTigerFox. I'm really amazed this topic has so many replies...

Off Topic:
It was the PS2 remake actually, and yes I agree it is an awesome game . Too bad you stopped right when you got the ship, there are some REALLY cool things afterwards. Oh, not to spoil anything but the game doesn't end when you think it does .

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I prefer to pronounce Z as 'Zed', but I don't know the general pronounciation type here (Australia) since it's not spoken much.

[DesertFoxCat]

Speaking of words...

Has anyone ever noticed that when you say, "not see" or "is real" or "it's not" that it sounds like "Nazi" and "Israel" and "snot", respectively? Or do I just pronounce things weird?

[Tom Flapwell]

When I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark circa age 8, I hadn't heard of Nazis, so I heard it as "Not-sees." So they're evil because they disregard what's in front of their eyes, huh? As for the sound of Israel, I like to think of Strawberry Fields as being located in "Nothing, Israel."

"Eleventy" is still an informal word, showing up in the Urban Dictionary sooner than any lexicon a teacher would approve.

[Dr. Doog]

eleventy isn't a real number, but it's used as one to show that somebody isn't very strong with their number usage. ("one, two, uh...eleventy, fifty-six...")

if it were one, it would be 110. (eleven + ty)

wait till you get to higher maths. i'm assuming that the standard three variables are still (x,y,z) in oz. and then you'll develope a fairly good assesmet of how most people say and write these letters.

Ah, I can understand how that was used as a sort of atmospheric touch in The Hobbit then.

Edit:
I've been mistaken, I meant the LotR .

[Zaaphod]

eleventy isn't a real number

It's an imaginary number, like the square root of negative 1.

Are you talking about the Photosphere? I've already cleared that if that's what you're talking about. I'm still stuck in that enclosed circle of water in-between the continents where you first command the boat. I have to get rid of a monster that's blocking my way out.

I don't know why I stoped playing it. I think other RPGs just demanded my attention more. I think I'll pick it up after I beat Suikoden V, and then take the clear data into Wild ARMs 4.
