Extensive, prolonged and unnecessary use.

Think of it...the headline..

"Norway is the first country to discontinue native language in favour to English - This will have a tremendous positive effect on national economy, analysts says."

when do you say 'who' and when do you say 'whom'?

[Gamlemor]

Who and Whom

[Dorian Gray]

The absolute most important rule to remember when it comes to who/whom is that if you don't know, just use who. Using whom incorrectly is much more embarrassing than not using it at all, and anyone who comments that you used who when you should have used whom is an arrogant prick ^^

 

I have a very hard time believing that we'll ever switch to English, seeing as the country's population has proven that being bilingual is not a problem. I predict that in 20 years our language will definitely sound more English (I can see the R-s changing, for one thing) but it takes more than English tv and films to kill a language.

Oh! A general discussion in English, ill like it!

 

Well, there are not much people here at this moment. So this is kind of a English version of SO?

[Lidskjalv]

Why not. Besides the goal here is to perfectionate grammar, expand vocabulary and to kill the evil of chat and SMS language.

Yep, i just hope that more people participants in this discussion.

[ZenCo]

I'm glad this thread ain't as flooded as SO. If this thread we're in norwegian people would post here like maniacs just to get higher postcount...

First country? What about India, South-Africa and all the other former British colonies in which the official language now is English?

[ZenCo]

Norway is always the outsiders...

Obviously different. We weren't invaded by English-speaking countries, only their business and culture.

Is is possible to bend "fuck"?

It is a verb, so how do one bend it?

[Dorian Gray]

Just as one would conugate any other verb:

The four principle parts are fuck, fucks, fucking and fucked.

 

1st singular: I fuck

3rd singular: You fuck

1st plural: We fuck

2nd plural: You fuck

3rd plural: They fuck

 

simple present: I fuck

present continuous: I am fucking

preterite, imperfect: I fucked

simple future: I will fuck

present perfect: I have fucked

pluperfect: I had fucked

future perfect: I will have fucked

As I tought...thank you

[Dorian Gray]

Not a problem, ever since I left high school I've had the sinking suspicion that I'm forgetting these basic things, so brushing up is nice. I'm considering studying English next semester, and I'd hate to show up and be the least knowledgeable person in the classroom.

 

edit: Can't leave spelling errors for all to see^^

Well, seems to me (been reading a lot in this post), you are pretty good with English

 

knowledgable is written knowledgeable

[Dorian Gray]

There should definitely be a spell-check feature implemented in this forum ^^

I second that statement. It would come in handy, especially when you're writing longer posts where you don't notice small but annoying errors.
