you forgot "fucking canadians" :winkwink:

I will say that Europeans are much luckier than the average American in that they are usually exposed to and learn more than one language natively. I wish I had been exposed to such an environment while growing up.

Like most other Americans, I was only exposed to English as a child. I learned Greek and Latin in school but these are dead languages. I don't currently speak any living language well enough to converse in it. I have studied several (mostly exotic languages) and have a general familiarity with the grammar of many others.

I'm not saying this to brag. I have a PhD in linguistics. Studying the properties of human language is what linguists do.

No! My idol, P1mpdogg wins that award.

It's call trolling. I will win you over when I need to. :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
stop it, you're killing me!

long-winded way of saying you don't speak any other languages.

We have to learn a mandatory of 3 languages during our years in school.
Swedish being one in finland, but I don't like it nor did I ever learn it properly. I did however learn french and english quite well.

I think Finnish people have an advantage over central-europeans because 99% of our tv shows are in english with subtitles, so we hear english everytime we open our tv's.

Latin is quite good though, you'd probably learn spanish, italian and french easier than the rest of the nation. :) I'm currently learning spanish since I plan to move to the warmer climate of Costa del sol in a few years.. and those homos don't speak anything but spanish. :)

"It's call" ? I believe that should be "It's called"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Coming from a person who's only "say" is reiterating what another person said.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Don't laugh at him dude, he has a PHD in linguistics. It was obviously just a typo :Graucho

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Got me.

you all need to relax aight. thnx.

If I relax any more I'm gonna pass out :glugglug

It actually WAS a typo. There's a big difference between a typo and an actual fuck up. I can actually explain this.

My spell checker autocorrects sometimes. If I don't review what I've written, it can autocorrect WRONG. I probably typed CALLES instead of CALLED. This happens a lot due to the fact that the S and the D keys are right next to each other on the keyboard. CALLES is not a proper verb form. Instead of autocorrecting to CALLED, it deleted the suffix altogether. (I just tested my spell checker and it did this again). Because I had to take a piss, I didn't check it over. When I got back, it was too late to edit.

Butt Ass made a clear ERROR. He used a present tense for instead of a past tense form. This is not an error that can be blamed on a spell checker. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

Spellcheckers are for fags and hos.

English, muthafucka, do you speak it?

oh shit, stop it :1orglaugh

he loves facials

it must have been the spell checker again. Damn you spell checker!!

Hahahah.. Boobmaster was owned, once again. :glugglug

PAS is a word, dumbass, in French (it means NOT).

Damn, I always thought they were like real wizards with cooking linguini.

Owned by spelling mistakes. I love it. You have nothing else, so you focus on spelling mistakes.

PS - you are on my PRICKS list too.

And what is YOUR degree in?

Parlez en englais, for chrissake. Je ne parle pas francais.

"present tense for"

:1orglaugh

Didn't you bash someone in this thread for a typo?

I have a license to kill

wow, you opened the French dictionary on the letter P? :Graucho

Stupid fucking Canadian trailer trash

No, fucktard. I have done research on the difference between English NOT and French PAS. Thiswas a huge topic of interest in linguistics in the late 90s.

:1orglaugh

man that made me laugh

every post contains errors now.

Just to fucking shut you up, here is a copy of a paper I presented a ferw years ago which I am revising for publication. My real name has been deleted (and replaced by my nick). Here's a quote from a section dealing with NOT/PAS:


1.1 Adverb Placement
The placement of adverbs, relative to the verbal head, has long been regarded as a diagnostic for verb movement (e.g., Pollock 1989, Chomsky 1991). Assuming that adverbs occupy fixed positions in the syntax, it has been proposed that contrasts such as the one in (2) between English and French arise from the fact that French main verbs raise overtly to T, crossing the adverb, while English main verbs remain in situ within the VP.

(2) a. *John kisses often Mary.
b. Jean embrasse souvent Marie.
c. John often kisses Mary.
d. *Jean souvent embrasse Marie.

In this section, I will attempt to show how this diagnostic may be used to identify instances of short movement to Pr. The discussion will center primarily on (i) the distribution of a certain class of strictly VP licensed manner adverbs, and (ii) the position of adverbs in the pseudo-passive construction.

wow, you're such a linguist!

The ladies must love him.

Really? You think so? Your opinion means SO FUCKING MUCH to me. :1orglaugh

They actually do. Women LOVE an intelligent man.

boobmaster is such a cunning linguist

:1orglaugh

Actually this is becoming embarassing now. Dude, don't you realise that everyone here thinks you're an utter moron? And that you're just confirming it with every post? Fuck, you're worse than spacedog...even he realised when he was making an ass of himself.

You have done very well in this business, if the stats you posted a while back are accurate and not some made up BULLSHIT. I would have thought you were a little smarter than this.

Have you even considered for a moment that some of these 'errors' might be intentional? Look at the views this thread has gotten in the short time it has been alive.

If I start making little errors in every post, right after correcting someone on his English, I am gonna get a lot of dweebs reading my posts, clicking on the thread over and over again, keeping it bumped, in a desperate attempt to try to OWN me.

I am working on revising my affiliate program, which means I will soon be looking for affiliates. The more notorious I become on GFY, the more threadviews, OWN attempts, sig clicks, affiliates, and MONEY I will make (all with minimal investment). So, I ask you, WHO IS REALLY OWNING WHOM?

P1MPDOGG HAS NOTHING ON ME. :)

Stupid fucking Aussie trailer trash

Keep bumping my threads. :1orglaugh

I OWN YOU

yep, his porsche and s2000's are really just a friend's, and all his paysites aren't his.....



:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

dude, you won't make 5 bucks from gfy. thanks for the rant though.

:1orglaugh

yep, same with the million dollar Whistler property :glugglug

Really? Ya think? Shit, I made more than that my first day on GFY from clicks on my sig (which at that time linked to something I could make $$ with).

You think people are not gonna join my affiliate program JUST because they don't like me? You are dumber than I thought.

The only people who will refuse to do business with someone because they dislike that person's board persona are the ones who don't have any money. I don't want those people as affiliates anyway. They will still be useful to me because they will keep bumping my threads.

People will sign up as my affiliates if I can show them promoting my sites will make them money. It's as simple as that.
