Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

[2ball_]

This looks very similar to "Forumkafeen". Well, except for the language of course. Funny, but definitely a good iniative.

There you have it

 

I prefer the pub cause DNKF, is so crowded.

Yeah, I think we all need a place to sharpen our English skills, I know I do. Even if it's just to keep the English language close to you.

[Bear^]

I need a place to sharpen my Norwegian skills now. I'm writing in English, I'm talking a lot in English and I'm reading a lot of English.

 

It's so bad now that I dream in English and speak with myself in English. Sometimes at work I caught myself muttering curses under my breath, in English. And sometimes when people ask me things in Norwegian I have to have them say it again because I can't understand what they're saying.

 

The strange part however is that I don't mind that my native language slowly becomes my secondary.

I have the same "problem". Althouhg not as severe as you. I wright far to little english so my spelling is a bit off at times(alle the time). But I do cornverse and read a lot in english and I often find my selv struggelign to find the correct words in norwegian.

 

I'd be happy if somone would point out mistakes in this post. Want to see how it turns out without putting any thought into grammar.

I'm not a grammar God myself, in fact I'm as grammatically colour blind as you can get it.

 

However, I saw a couple of mistakes, English and Norwegian with a capital letter, if I'm not mistaken, which I might be for all I know

 

And good to see that we have the name as it should be

 

In other news:

 

I think I'm about to be possessed by a film, just came out of my 5th time watching "Avatar", don't know why, but I find so much rest and relaxation when I watch that film. It does also help that the last 2 times I haven't had to pay anything to enter. Nothing like a relaxing film free of charge after 8 hours on the mill

 

Edit:

Away you dam error.

Most of them seemed more like typos than real grammar mistakes, though.

 

Bear: It's worth the ticket then? I haven't watched it yet, I'm afraid. Everyone else has, so I'll probably have to go see it with my sister or something.

 

Edit: Maybe I should consider using fewer apostrophes.

I think so, obviously since I've used some money on it already

 

Only seen it once in 3D though, we don't have a digital cinema here just yet so when I was in Bodø visiting my sister for the weekend I took a quick stop to see it in 3D. In my opinion it should be seen in 3D if possible, but it's equally good in 2D if you have no other options.

 

But that just my opinion, the best thing is actually go to a screening and see for yourself. Never let anyone tell you what to think, make up your own mind

Typo is my middle name.. So that's ok

 

I haven't seen Avatar yet.. I will as son as I find the proper.. foundings(?)..

Finally a movie worth seeing at a full scale cinema. The 3d version have apperantly raped the 2d version in order to bring in money.

I totally agree. Avatar was mindblowing in 3D

The movie never made it here in 3D

I just removed most of the erroneous corrections that had been made. "too", for example, is entirely correct.

 

"Too much to do"

Good morning, everybody!

 

First of all, congratulations to the people who voted for "Ye Olde Pub". I bet you're all very happy now. I know I am. We have recess now, so I'm just sitting in the hall with my laptop, reading forums and generally just geeking around. I think I have a test in natural history today (goes to show you how prepared I am). Not looking forward to it.

I'm so glad I'm finished with school and tests and all that crap. I prefer the working life way more than the school life (even if there were more pretty girls there).

[Mikkel™]

How about working on a school Slimda ? You still get to see all the pretty girls

[Slimda]

I've actually considered that, but right now I have a pretty good job nontheless, and I doubt I'll lose it anytime soon. Besides, being 23 kinda omits part of the girls there. According to mathematics, my lowest allowed age amongst girls is 18.5 years. (age/2+7)

I have been to watch a 3d movie once. It was about the flying robot Max. It is quite an experience to watch objects fly out from the screen into the movie theater. Although, you can notice that they focus more on the visuals than the story itself. It might be the same with Avatar

[Slimda]

Personally, I found the story in Avatar quite interesting and engaging, even if it was similar to a certain american-indian story. The 3D-part of the movie just enhanced the visual experience and made it easier to fall into the fantasy-world of Pandora.

 

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, one that I would gladly see multiple times.

"Too much to do"

 

Pardon? Which erroneous corrections?

 

(I should have spotted "alle the time", though. )

 

Edit: Ah, I did miscorrect (is that a word?) "although". A "l" too much.
