I don't think Nema's strict enough, he should move on to 'Americanisms' next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well, he once said that Americans have not spoken English for many, many years. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Well he does speak a different language. Nema Fakei speaks British English. Exatreides speaks American English. Jack Leaf and I speak... International English. :) It's good that the Brits on Fed2k have Nema Fakei. He speaks their language. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 He doesnt allow innovation in the english language. I am at the 4front, a pioneer of the New English Language. And it just tries to stifle my progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 What's up, mate -> English englishI don't think I've ever heard anyone say it like that, considering that 'What's up' is quite a formal way of saying it (though a coloquialism [sP?] nonetheless) and then 'Mate' is very informal.

Cyborg Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I don't see any formality in what's up...And I think it would more Australian to say what's up, mate?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah it's more australian. Maybe "Give me a f**king beer" sounds more english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps501 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Well, there was also the (not so) popular "wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup" ("Wa" followed by a hard "Z" changing to a soft "S" with a "up" at the end of it) from the American TV Commercials a few years back.

Dante Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Was going to ask Nema via IM, but dcided that since this topic was here, it might as well be useful. I need to know a word, and I'm having trouble looking it up because I need both the definition and the word itself. In fact, I'm not even sure if there is a word.Ok, the easiest way to do this would be by examples, so here's a few:Lord of WaterSpirit of TreesCheese of WarHoreseman of FamineDigital camera of Wrath.You notice that all of the examples have an 'of something' in them. What I want to know is, what is the word for 'of something' ? It can't be 'title,' or at least, 'title' just doesn't seem right. The title is Lord, the 'of something,' is different, I think. And 'cheese' can't be a title anyway.To clarify, if a man starts calling himself 'King of Flies,' then he has granted himself the title of King and responsibility over flies. I need a synonym for 'responsibility over,' something that would work in a similar way to 'He is generally known by his title, King.' 'He is generally known by his [X], which is of Flies.'I may not have explained this well, but I'd appreciate any help that anyone could give. Especially Nema. Not that the rest of you aren't appreciated. I'll just stop babbling now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
