Bummskopp	Posted - 2007.03.25 19:14:00 - [31] yay... foot on the table by ISDs only equipped with a genitive.. taking stuff from other cultures and then twisting it to your liking.. c'mon, this isn't the middle east. embrace your heritage
Still Hart Aurora Medical Systems	Posted - 2007.04.04 16:18:00 - [32] First of all, BUMP for great justice! Secondly... Originally by: Dashi Kawasuki Edited by: Dashi Kawasuki on 25/03/2007 16:35:12 Bonus is a word of Latin origin (as in latin = old Romans, not that kind of music like samba :) ) and in Latin the correct plural of bonus is boni. incorporating a word in your own language doesn't make the original form wrong. And I as a german have a lot sad stories to tell about foreign words in my native language. There even is a name for an aweful mix of German and English: Denglisch -> Deutsch + English. Read the links I posted up top of the thread. The question of the latin root is addressed and you, sir, are proven incorrect. Try not to perpetuate false claims under the guise of expertise. It's very misleading. SH

vanBuskirk Caldari	Posted - 2007.04.04 17:35:00 - [34] Originally by: Mudkest Edited by: Mudkest on 04/04/2007 17:19:36 Originally by: welsh wizard "It's a mute point" is almost as annoying. It's moot everyone, MOOT. text dont make noice silly, so it really is a mute point :p edit: also, whats this doing in the s&m forum? o.O S&M forum? I thought this was a teen-rated forum. Semi-seriously: From Latin bonus, good. Because Latin has gender, this would mean "a good man (male)". Properly formed, the word should be bonum (neuter gender), meaning "a good thing". This would be parallel to the many other neuter gender words adopted into English, like maximum, minimum, premium, optimum. Its plural would then be bona or Bonii. (Wikipedia dictionary) So both boni and bonuses are wrong and so is the singular! ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

Mudkest	Posted - 2007.04.04 17:40:00 - [35] Originally by: vanBuskirk S&M forum? I thought this was a teen-rated forum. could also say hips and odules, but s&m sounds more fun as I am not sure what odules are :p -Duct tape might hold the univurse together, but it's coffee that makes it tick
VanNostrum	Posted - 2007.04.04 17:44:00 - [36] ima boni
Tsanse Kinske WeMeanYouKnowHarm	Posted - 2007.04.04 19:14:00 - [37] "Mute point" lol, that's good. The ones that kill me are "loose" for "lose" and "I could care less" when the person actually means the opposite. Originally by: vanBuskirk From Latin bonus, good. Because Latin has gender, this would mean "a good man (male)". Properly formed, the word should be bonum (neuter gender), meaning "a good thing". This would be parallel to the many other neuter gender words adopted into English, like maximum, minimum, premium, optimum. Its plural would then be bona or Bonii. (Wikipedia dictionary) So both boni and bonuses are wrong and so is the singular! Hmm, but isn't bonus just an adjective in Latin? In which case there wouldn't be a "proper" Latin plural for the English noun at all, whatever that means. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created.

Daald Gekidoku Koroshiya Buntai	Posted - 2007.04.04 19:21:00 - [38] Edited by: Daald on 04/04/2007 19:17:55 When you write the entire post in Latin then you may use boni :) -----------------------------

Hakiro Murasame Caldari	Posted - 2007.04.04 21:12:00 - [40] Edited by: Hakiro Murasame on 04/04/2007 21:10:00 Originally by: Tsanse Kinske ... "I could care less" when the person actually means the opposite. Agreed. I always want to smack people whenever they say that. It also makes me cringe when people say "supposably" instead of "supposedly." Happens pretty often, actually. It's quite sad. Ganj is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Altrex Stoppel SniggWaffe Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.04.04 21:24:00 - [41] English Riddle Whats wrong with this paragraph... This is an odd paragraph. It is grammatically sound, and contains no unusual vocabulary. You will not find any hints by looking at word counts or starts to words, though finding out what is so odd about it is not a hard task. I should not say any hints, but will add that not giving up is important. Good luck!

Ral Ulgur Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.04.04 23:17:00 - [45] Originally by: Kar Anshral fraction ships, where can I buy those? I believe CCP mistakenly seeded them as "Minerals"... Regarding the OP: Do you have one interest per thread you are not hijacking or one interest in not hijacking other threads?
Breed Love FATAL REVELATIONS FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.04 23:17:00 - [46] Doesn't have much to do with english, but I find people who call gallente for "gallante" annoying. Both written and spoken. Watch the intro movie when you log in to eve and find out how it is pronounced. ----- sigs are for wussies.
