You're studying to become a lawyer to help people stop playing games? You're studying to be a lawyer and you can't even read the EULA or understand something as simple as transferring in-game materials to another player, which is an inherent in-game mechanic? You're studying to become a lawyer and you expect to just completely and irrevocably remove your account entirely from the company you have done business with?
Do you expect that when you shut off your cell phone service or cable service that they delete all records related to you? Or do you suppose maybe they keep it in their records for various purposes - one of many being that in most jurisdictions corporations are obligated to retain certain types of records for a minimum duration...
If you want to delete your character, go into the game and press the "delete/terminate" button on the interface at the lower right during login. If you want to stop paying for the game, go into My Account and tell it to stop subscriptions. There you go. You're done. -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009? |

Deleting account, though - you can't. You can delete all characters onthe account (after waiting 10 hours to finalize the deletion) - but the account itself will stay on the servers.

You put in your real information for an EVE account? Ahahahaha, what a noob.
Just change your account info and put in wrong information. If you used a CC to play EVE, well then contact your bank if you are that paranoid.
Accounts are no deletable because so many people come back to the game after rage quitting like you are doing. --

Bananagirl, I'm with you. Rather fed up by it all, the scammers, exploits, it's hard to get ahead. I'm about to give up but maybe I can put your material to use? Can't hurt and as ****ed as you are, your efforts should go to some use, I could benefit from some resources. Consider it, and have a fine time in law school. Good luck.

I wonder if the CCP legal team will have a meeting discussing banannagirl and her threats of lawsuits. Would be quite an epic meeting.

Not that well established. In my 31 years, I have only ever witnessed improper spelling or pronunciation of the word when it was done by people who were clearly too stupid to know they were doing it incorrectly. Like the people who don't pronounce "historic" with a silent "h" but still use the phrase "an historic" or people who use the meaningless non-word "irregardless". -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009? |

Tell Webster's Dictionary that irregardless isn't a word. They're doing it wrong then.
merriam-Webster's information on "irregardless".
Be sure to give them your expertise as well - apparently they need it. Not like it isn't their business, or anything...
Quote: Not to mention "wallah" is already a word. Also, the proper word most certainly *is* relevant.
Merrim-Webster has no referance at all to a word spelled "wallah". You sure it's a real word? Webster seems to have never heard of it. Again, a place where your expertise may be needed, since Webster obviously lacks your sure knowledge of the English language.
Oh, well lookee here - irregardless is in the Oxford English Dictionary as well, as a synonym for 'regardless".
Oxford English Dictionary entry for "irregardless".
Hmmm - maybe you're not the expert we'd been hoping for.

Note that the dictionary intends to be a collection of widely-used words, even if they are stupid and inaccurate and what I should have clarified was that irregardless is a stupid word used stupidly by stupid people. You will note the dictionary also clarifies that it has little respect and is essentially grammatical nonsense.
Why is it nonsense? Because it is a double-negative. It would technically mean the opposite of the opposite of regard. That is, regardless is the opposite of regard(ed). And irregardless would be the opposite of regardless -- which is regard(ed).
So, let's say the English language is constantly evolving and we have somehow accepted this word and even decided that it is grammatically correct to use (it is not) - people are still stupid, because when they use it, they do so with the same meaning of regardless, even though it is clearly a double-negative. So even if everything you just tried to "school" me with was legitimate, its common usage would still be improper.
The proper word for what people mean is regardless. The improper form of irregardless is not part of standard English.

No, "Mirrim"-Webster is just fine and does have a "referance". You simply suck at figuring out how to use a dictionary.
Mirriam-Webster: Wallah
Quote: Hmmm - maybe you're not the expert we'd been hoping for.
Ain't is in the dictionary as well; that doesn't make it grammatically correct to use outside of an ironic capacity.
I don't like to be a grammar *****; I typically don't even care. Certainly not enough to correct people online. However, I'll certainly respond to someone who is raising an issue directly to me as if I don't know what I'm talking about. You will note that my initial statements were not critical of anyone's use of grammar in this thread at all. I only stated that to my knowledge, "walla/wallah" is only used in America in place of "voila" out of ignorance rather than intentional slang and that saying the meaning of a word is not critical is on level with the same ignorance or disregard -- (notice I said disregard and not irredisregard, ooh!) -- as the examples I gave.
I was not being directly critical of anyone posting here at all, unless you count an anecdotal statement with regard to the popularity and usage of "wallah" in the way it was suggested that people use it.
Good luck with that whole "figuring out a dictionary" thing. -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009? |

'walla' or 'wallah' is a bastarization of a French word, 'voila'. As in, 'all done' or 'there you go'. It undoubtedly originated in America, where all good things are violated and entirely screwed up. Its use is frequently attributed to idiots and morans.
'Irregardless' is an equally foolish use of language, that it appears in Merriam-Webster is a testament to that fact. The prefix 'ir', derived from latin for 'before', 'prior', and in some cases, 'in opposition to' makes its appearance in 'regardless' entirely redundant.
Professional wordsmiths are a rare breed. With good reason. Please, leave the creativity to those with a solid grasp of linguistics. The rest of you can impress us by effectively using what is accurate.
That is all.

If, by "bastardization", you mean improper use by people who are ignorant of the actual word, then I completely agree. However, I have never seen a legitimate source noting it as commonly used slang or a commonly accepted alternative. I have only ever seen it used by people who never learned how to pronounce and spell voila, but clearly mean to say the same thing. I'd certainly welcome any references that legitimately offer it as simply a word people use knowing that it is a slang word.
Neither "wallah" nor "walla" appear as derivatives under the entry for "voila" in the dictionary and it makes no reference under the words individually.
Wallah definitely is an actual word as I had mentioned above. It has nothing to do with voila, however. Dating back to the 1700s, the word means as follows:
Webster: a person who is associated with a particular work or who performs a specific duty or service ùusually used in combination - "the book wallah was an itinerant peddler ù George Orwell"
As to the rest of your statement, I certainly agree. Despite my love for language, I don't particularly care how individuals tend to use it, even if it grates on a person. What I really despise is when I hear people that should know better using ridiculous language gaffs. CNN spent the last week talking about AN historic event. That would be fine if they were the BBC and tended not to pronounce the consonant 'h'. But they're not. Or when I heard a journalist last week actually say irregardless. Gaaah.
By the way . . .
Here is an example of what I meant when I said that people do not use wallah as slang for voila, but actually use wallah, because they ignorantly believe that is the correct word. This person is a self-proclaimed freelance writer, but seriously thought the word really was wallah.
Edie's Potpourri: When Words Don't Mean What You Think As I was writing the previous post, I checked the spelling of a word I have heard used for years, usually when someone has done something they are excited about.
The word? Wallah.
For example, ôWallah, I finally finished the post.ö
To my utter amazement, wallah means something entirely different. According to Merriam-WebsterÆs Collegiate Dictionary, wallah means ôa person who is associated with a particular work or who performs a specific duty or service û usu. used in combination....ö The example used was the quote at the top of this post.

Originally by: Mister Zero 'walla' or 'wallah' is a bastarization of a French word, 'voila'. As in, 'all done' or 'there you go'.
Incorrect. It originated in India with the British colonials while India was part of the British Empire. Even up to WW2, Indian "servants" were called wallahs. Char Wallah, Punka Wallah etc, it's a loose variation of an indian word meaning 'boy'. Char Wallah was how they adressed a 'Tea Boy'. If you don't believe me, try watching the comedy series "It aint half hot mum" where they use it more frequently than in the films.
Due to political correctness now, it is considered an insult.

While the nabobs may have another meaning for the word, I'm referring to its contextual use here.
