Tova Akarra	Posted - 2010.01.27 17:05:00 - [91] Edited by: Tova Akarra on 27/01/2010 17:17:26 Originally by: Darco Peyroux there's a dutch corp with "red white and bleu" in the name... Obviously they're referring to the FRENCH flag. WAIT, I just thought of one that annoys the **** out of me. "Manouvre" would some one European please confirm for me if this is an actual spelling, or just some ridiculous contrivance meant to drive me insane. Also, and I know this is off topic: Being a New Yorker, whenever someone pronounces the word bagel as "bAHgel" (emphasis on the flattened "a"), I die a little inside.

Dretzle Omega Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2010.01.27 17:17:00 - [93] I'm surprised "fraction" isn't being mentioned more often in this thread. That's extremely annoying. Why would you want to fit a "fraction" of anything when you can fit the entire item?! Also trust misspelled as "thrust", but I've really only seen one person do that, albeit excessively. I thrust her very much!

Zitus	Posted - 2010.01.27 17:44:00 - [97] cloak spelled claok, cloke, or cloack
Rainus Max Fusion Enterprises Ltd	Posted - 2010.01.27 17:51:00 - [98] Id rather it was spelt right: ARMOUR, COLOUR Stupid Americans chopping up the ENGLISH language, reminds me the conversation my dad had with an American: Dad - I'm from Yorkshire in England (that's not pronounced Yorkshire its York-sha) Yank - You speak good English, where did you learn it? Now its my county's language use it right or I'll start calling it "the Big Arple" and "Washingstone DC"
Violet Serena	Posted - 2010.01.27 17:58:00 - [99] I'm glad this MMO found a way to use "rouge". I didn't want it to feel left out of the other kids on the playground.

Do you pronounce it? Or is the U just a soothing letter across the pond? Though, I admit, 'gray' is better spelled with an E in 'grey', the British way. And I prefer when quoting single words at the end of a paragraph the period should be excluded like "grey". Not the American way, like "grey." Unless you're quoting an entire sentence, where the period is actually part of the quote. /rant off Originally by: Akita T BTW, if you see God when you're clutching for your chest due to sudden realization you have no chance to get out of this with your wallet intact tell him he still owes me money

Rainus Max Fusion Enterprises Ltd	Posted - 2010.01.27 18:29:00 - [101] We didn't throw it in, that's how you spell it, its the Americans that remove it. IIRC Americans changed the spelling because 100-200 years ago (when ever it was) education wasn't exactly good, so you simplified the language for the masses. Unfortunately its catching because 1) it is simpler (I wont argue that it isn't, but its still wrong) and 2) the US throws out alot of TV, Films and other poop using the simplifications so kids pick it up and stick with it.

Tregar Balthane	Posted - 2010.01.27 18:43:00 - [103] when typing i often mis-spell remember as remeber and being from yorkshire myself i do cringe everytime i talk to an american that comes here on holiday, for instance the way they pronounce certain town and city names, examples Midd*****rough, Scarborough ect the always seem to replace the last 3 letters with an extra o!

Nah, we just don't like the random "U" all over the place, it's untidy.

Ah, I see. It should have been an extra U. EDIT: Oh, and it was "thrown in", originally being -or in Latin. Why, though, is it honorific, instead of honourific? The U seems to be superfluous. (Did I get enough U's in that last word? ) Originally by: Akita T BTW, if you see God when you're clutching for your chest due to sudden realization you have no chance to get out of this with your wallet intact tell him he still owes me money
Kyra Felann Gallente	Posted - 2010.01.27 19:06:00 - [106] The most misspelled words everywhere on the internet: loose vs lose their vs there vs they're it's vs its When I see these mixed up, it makes me want to punch things. All native English-speakers should have to take a quiz to make sure they understand usage of these words before being allowed on the internet.

Unless you're quoting an entire sentence, where the period is actually part of the quote. /rant off The English treatment of the letter "R" boggles my mind. You don't pronounce it at the end of syllables, but add it in elsewhere? I've heard English people pronounce "Martha" Marthur", for example, yet "colour" is "coluh"? Wha? brain asplodes In all seriousness, I do like the English and respect English culture, but English spelling and pronunciation seem silly to me. For example, I only found out recently that "gaol" was actually pronounced "jail". I always thought it was just some archaic synonym, rather than being the same(?) word. I do agree also that English quoting style makes more sense, but that's about it. :)

And yes, 'Gaol' is a weird word, however we mostly use the word 'Prison' anyway when describing where bad people are put.

Care to also help me out with the bonnet vs. hood, thing? Every time I hear that I think my car is this little child girl wearing a bonnet (I certainly don't see adults wearing them these days), which leads to other misconceptions about my car...

Here, "jail" is generally a local city-run place, whereas "prison" is a state-run place, so there's a distinction. In response to the other person: about "bonnet", to be fair, "hood" means something pretty similar. They're both head-coverings. It's "boot" that I don't understand. We call it a "trunk" because old cars had actual trunks there for storage. But "boot"? I have no clue where that came from.

Kyra Felann Gallente	Posted - 2010.01.27 20:19:00 - [112] Edited by: Kyra Felann on 27/01/2010 20:20:54 Originally by: Dretzle Omega Oh, and it was "thrown in", originally being -or in Latin. Based on my understanding of English history (I was a history major for a year or so, for what it's worth), I'd guess that the "-our" comes from the time when French-speaking Normans were in control of the country. The Norman conquest happened in 1066, and before that, English (old English) was a very different language, as in, not intelligible to modern English-speakers. It was heavily Germanic/Norse and is also known as Anglo-Saxon. A common misconception is that the way people talked in Shakespeare's time was "old English", but that was more "middle English". Here is an example of old English (a line from Beowulf): "Hwµt! wē Gār-Dena in geār-dagum". Many words in modern English come from French (which is derived from Latin), so I'd guess (though I'm not a historical linguist) that that's where the "-our" comes from as well as the "-re" instead of "-er". For comparison, the French word for "color" or "colour" is "couleur" and the French word for "center" or "centre" is "centre". It's pretty easy to see the similarities. So I understand where those spellings come from, but I don't get why the English kept them that way all these centuries later, even though they're at odds with the way the language is actually pronounced. EDIT: Originally by: Captain Mastiff Where one would place his fox hunting boots in the back of his motor car. Hmm. I suppose that makes sense. Now I've learned something new.

They're both head-coverings. Yes, but men and women might wear hoods. Little girls wear bonnets. So my car is a female toddler? What the..? Originally by: Kyra Felann It's "boot" that I don't understand. We call it a "trunk" because old cars had actual trunks there for storage. But "boot"? I have no clue where that came from. I also having a problem calling that passenger storage compartment the "glove box". I don't put my gloves in there... EDIT: And thanks for the language/history lesson.

Soi Mala Whacky Waving Inflatable Flailing Arm Tubemen	Posted - 2010.01.27 22:37:00 - [119] Not so much a misspelled word, but a major gripe of mine is people saying "I could care less...". I'm fairly sure you mean to say "I COULDN'T care less", meaning you care so very little about the subject, you'd actually find it impossible to care any less about it, unless you could somehow manage to forget about it. Also, tarp is often misspelled for some reason...
