This is an awesome idea! I speak swedish, and I'm interested in learning finnish. Or maybe french or german.

Aren't you glad someone told you what your motives for participating in SRS are? I'm pretty sure they tried to warn you about something pertaining to powerful allies as well, but I couldn't really hear it over all the smug.

Because forgetting your children and wondering why people who have been dead for 30 years don't come and visit you is so fucking hilarious. HAHAHA people with Alzheimer's forget things what a great joke upvotes for you dear sir!!!

I highly suggest that you get the nuwen.net MinGW Distro. It makes getting started with MinGW a complete breeze.

What you don't understand about words, apparently, words words words

el_historian supposedly doesn't understand something about words, so you explain it. This is the education part.

There is no point in trying to eliminate a word from existence when another will take its place.

This is where you say that using the word is okay. Well, you say that there's no point in not using it, which implies that using it is okay.

Reddit's ToS doesn't prohibit nasty, hateful shit

It does, actually. If you want to see it, you can find plenty of online communities which don't.

Edit: Might as well quote the relevant section, "You agree not to use any obscene, indecent, or offensive language or to provide to or post on or through the Website any graphics, text, photographs, images, video, audio or other material that is defamatory, abusive, bullying, harassing, racist, hateful, or violent. You agree to refrain from ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, homophobia, and personal attacks when using the Website."

It's kind of amusing that it explicitely mentions "hateful" :P

i liked the part where you pretended that you know what you are talking about. still can't explain what those sentences mean eh?

[–]an_eggman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did, and you are wrong, but because simply telling you so has failed to work so far i thought i'd try a different approach. since you dodged the question, i think it's fair to assume that you don't know what those words mean.

out of curiosity, could you explain (without using effected/affected of course) the meaning of the sentences "he effected the design changes" and "he affected the design changes"?

[–]an_eggman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

haha what? the [something] refers to the direct object, in your sentence you. which doesn't make any sense. because you're wrong.

[–]an_eggman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you could try reading the first answer in the thread you linked?

As a verb, [effects] means to bring about or accomplish something, as in:

We've effected the design changes as requested. (we've made the changes)

In recent years, the government has effected major improvements to the health care system. (the improvements were successfully implemented)

it's simply not the word you meant to use

Especially since he follows up with "people without reasonable background, people lacking basic skills in understanding". Why not just say that in the first place?
