Ah well, "y" in French is spoken "eee-grek" and pronounced "y" in words. We're just weird. Play Scrabble: make a dictionary feel loved.
Well i've played it online but i like monopoly best. Especially when my brothers and sister and i play for money. I like being the car or boot. Although, in the Aussie version (coz most of us the pom version) we have a koala which i sometimes am
In the pommy version it's Mayfair and Park Lane. In the Aussie version it's Kings Avenue and Flinders Way (OZ below)
I'm an expressive person I remember there was a big Uno phase there for a while, but pictionary was a pain in the are to be honest.
Yeah well, my version of a coffee maker is a kettle I love charades though. Seeing people make a dick of themselves trying to act out something they have no hope of succeeding at, is a laugh riot. Like trying to play twister and keeping your decorum when upside down and back to front. Ain't gonna happen my friend.
A made up game we called "Witches and Vampires" where the entire block was the boundary for an elaborate hide-and-go-seek game we'd only play at night with a starting place and a finishing area. Two people against the rest of the kids who were assigned as a particular villan (witch, goblin, werewolf, vampire, evil cats, ghosts, troll, and all kinds of nasty things). When they were tagged, we had re-enactments of death by those villains. EX: The witch would turn the person into a frog on my back porch and her evil cat would then eat the frog. Was fun running around hedges, hiding behind parked cars and darting through backyard fence-lines.
fun times and yes swords and shields. oh the stupid fun. now for some other things i need to express my (wonderously perfect) opinion on. all normal milk is gross. Soy milk is delcious - vita soy vanilla delite is a good way to ease into it, the fortified one is the next best. jam is only jam if it is homemade or from the likes of ananaoth. Those marrow-and-food-colouring-with-a-seed-or-two concoctions are not jam. they are like ridiculously bright spackle. they are too thick as well. and too sweet. SO THERE. and a question - just how how does one bastardise the Commonwealth's English? I can see how you could chop and change the Queen's English....but if it's a form of English that applies to the whole Commonwealth then wouldn't milk, mulk, muwk, miwk, meelk and so on all be valid forms of it, and not bastardisations?
If bastardisation is changing the way in whcih a word is pronounced, then we are all guilty. We all have different accents. At least we speak the proper english and don't change the way words are meant to be like certain overseas fellows. Some say Antarctica like the first "T" doesn't exist, "Anartica". What can be really annoying is when people say somethin, everythin, nothin. Words that have a "G" on the end but they remove it. Certain sloppiness with the english language does get on the nerves
if thats the case..how do you rectify pronouncing centre as 'centur' when thats clearly not possible without some made up linguistic word legitimizing it? food for thought btw... FREE THE Z! end commonwealth hatred of the letter Z! Bastardization! isnt z just sexy?
yes, but that's only if you assume that there is only one way to pronounce a word in the first place. If we were talking about the original form of english or the Queen's English then yep, we have changed it and we are guilty of barstardization. BUT matt mentioned the 'commonwealth' english, which suggests that there is a form of english that can apply to the whole commonweath. Because the comonwealth has such a diverse range of accents then you could argue that all versions of a word are valid - when talking about the Commonwealth English there is no 'one' way to pronounce a word. And if every form is valid then we haven't changed anything, we have simply added new, valid forms of the word to the massive commonwealth dictionary. So we aren't guilty. and btw, zee may be sexy but zed is far more elegant.
i'm not hating...... i just have...standards... (jk) and hey, you can still have fun with a low class ho. You just might want to do a Pretty Woman makeover on her before introducing her to your parents.
