Is that your own, Gollum? It's very good. You reminded me of "mispronounciation" which I hear all the time - it drives me insane.



I made it up just a few minutes ago. I should, however, credit Messrs. Strunk and White with their classic nauseous/nauseated example, from The Elements of Style.

  • Conflation of superficially similar words. In extreme cases, this leads to the disease known as malapropism which, though painful for the afflicted, provides much amusement to ghoulish observers. For example, do not say "I feel nauseous" unless you are sure that you have that effect on people. The word you are gagging for is nauseated.


Gollumz0r, thanks a bunch... I've made this mistake so often, I think I have become nauseous. :o

/me feels nauseated now.

I hatre when people say, or write, or use in their name "lil" just because I can never pronounce it withought a T, and people always correct me on how to say a slang word.

I have a friend who's name is Hathikar and his two brothers are called Sathikar and Montikar. What an original father. If anybody is wondering the names are Cambodian.

And yes I admit I have accidentaly said lol (lole) out aloud once. And I once came close to saying rofl (roful).

My english teacher once said you haven't done nuthin. I couldn't stop laughing.

Also if anyone is wondering, nobody I know in Australia says "G'day mate".

Dude, That was funny, WWII.... Someone should make a WWII RTS, that'd be so cool. And maybe a FPS! Man, that would be so original too...

lol @ Gaara...
well, we use such words daily, we even speak out words like lol and rofl lmao... mostly we pronounce them in rising pace, so that they feel like they were questions. In fact, in MSN, we sometimes put a ? to the end of "lol" or "rofl", which mean summat like "really?" or "you serious?"... you know the rest.
now, we have a good word "irw". It comes from the word "irve" which means "grin" in english. So... basically, if we want to say that we liked the joke or if someone tells something nuts or some other cases, ye know, we just say "irw". Also, we can do it again like a question, (mostly in msn) as it is then going to mean exactly the same as "lol".

Huh... messy talk?
