Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

edit: Just read your post again, turns out you mixed up the two a bit, you wrote that learnt is American, and learned British, where it's really the other way around

 

 

Yes, a bit too fast on the keyboard there.. :!:

 

Last year we had a terrible teacher.. She needed notes on how to spell words, and still she managed to get a whole lot of them wrong.. Her pronounciation was almost worse than mine aswell, not very good for a high school teacher.. We had these small tests, "diktater", and she was supposed to say "issue".. What it sounded like was "is you", which was what the whole class wrote down and got wrong lol..

Fortunately I've got a better one this year, although not perfect.. It's always fun to straighten the teachers up when they pronounce something wrong anyway, so I don't mind too much.. :!:

Oh dear Jesus, the lack of English skills in this forum is frightening. I would've thought that you guys were better than this. Even in the first post I manage to find a few grammatical flaws.

 

Okay, it may not be as bad as I'm making it seem, because overall, it is rather good. It's the rare flaunts I find here and there that are remarkably big. I shouldn't expect much anyway, considering this is a Norwegian forum, with Norwegian people. I guess I'm just used to English forums already.

Now, now. Don't be patronizing. Just because you're a girl and all these virgins would like to ravage you like a poor mountain girl from the Alps, it doesn't allow you to assume that you seem to be in possesion of some sort of ultimate answer to all questions concerning grammar in this language. That would surely be disproved by all these sweaty nerds rampaging this wonderful board.

 

Now, in conclusion:

 

- You can choose between somewhere around 80 000 nerds who doesn't have the faintest idea how to please you.

- You do not have the ultimate answer (no, not talking about 42, that would be the Adams theory of God having a cold) to grammatical questions.

 

 

 

Nothing of this had absolutely anything to do with... well.. anything, but I thought it needed to be said. Because I've always wanted to say it. However, the current time and place where I chose to say this is in high probability not influenced by God having a cold. But still, God seemed to have a cold. How could God have a cold? I think God should at least have the flu if he's calling in sick. I mean, seriously, he's God. Doesn't he have som sense of responsibility? Problaby not, he's problaby still beating his head into some cloud over the mistake of bothering to create a species that just spend most of their time finding new ways to gloriously blow each other up in the name whatever.

 

 

This is the silliest post I've ever been in. I'm ending it right now.

Hey, here's a tip for you - keep your stupid comments to yourself, I don't think that anybody really gives a fu*k about you ... or your expectations for that matter.

Here's a tip for you, be polite and watch your language. No one likes people who toss offensive words around and expect to be respected for it.

Yeah whatever, I really can't be bothered to reply extensively to that right now...nor will I in the future.

 

I say what i mean, it's that simple.

 

Thanks for the tip though

I did not assume anything. And I don't expect people to respect me, or like me, just because I'm a girl. My post was based on nothing but what I read in this discussion. Actually, I kind of made that post to spark a debate, which I obviously succeeded in. Misspelling of words doesn't really bother me. We all do it. What bothers me, is those kinds of mistakes that others would want to put in the "Dårlige engelsk oversettelser"-thread. Haha.

Spelling mistakes and bad grammar are allowed in this thread. It's mostly intended for training and practice purpose in a some how friendly enviroment. A way to encourage everybody to dare to try. And get better. Nice to see there are contributors with flawless skills here then.

[Stian89]

Counter-Strike people are a breed of their own.

 

That kind of language is not English, nor human.

 

In my opinion that is.

I assume you saw the non-seriousness in my last post.

 

 

Well, people's English skills differ a lot. Some are really good at it, others are really bad. For no apparent reason what so ever.

[Sidious]

I love English..it's like a second language to me.

Well, a bit of constructivity has never hurt anyone.. Point out a few errors and someone might actually learn something, instead of just getting a "your english sucks" comment.

OH, we did that around Christmas time.

I watched Heathers and I got a B.

 

Good luck!

Let us leave this discussion behind us. We Norwegian ain't English people, we normally speak and write Norwegian. English is just a second language for us, and this generation is not the best generation for English perfection.

 

We can be happy that most of us it better in English then the Solberg brothers.
