Re: Hi

Oh Daenerys, I really thought you above all the petty hollow lies you have been telling. I thought we had an understanding. I thought you were smarter than that. You have let me down.

You see, God wants us to be richly rewarded for our faith.


Quote:
2 Samuel 22:21
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

2 Chronicles 15:7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

Psalm 31:23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

The United States is the single most powerful and wealthy nation in the world. We speak American. Therefore American is God's Favorite Language©.

Re: Hi

American is not a language by itself. It is American English, just like there is a British English, just like there is the Spanish spoken in Mexico which is slightly different from the Spanish spoken in Latin America and the Spanish spoken in Spain. Its all still Spanish, just different dialects, just as its all still English, just different dialects.

Spanish is irrelevant here. Though it's name is not Spanish - it's Castilian (castellano) to distinguish it from Catalán. I'm fluent in both so I'LL tell YOU what's relevant and what's not. Dago-speak of ANY variety is IRRELEVANT here.

BRITISH ENGLISH also does not actually exist. There is Scottish English, Southern English and Midland English which are dialects of a single language.

AMERICAN, although largely mutually intelligible with varieties of English (except Glasgow and Newcastle) is a language in its own right.

Is Swedish a dialect of Danish? NO. They're mutually intelligible, even moreso than many varieties of English (e.g. Glasgwegian, Scouser, Cockney in a pub have NO idea what each other are saying.)

As I said, AMERICAN is a LANGUAGE. Ignorance on your part is really not an excuse. LEAVE the subject alone or PROVE it. (Which you can't.)

Personally I'd have a vet put you down. It'd be a kindness.

Re: Hi

Your entire argument was based around god not facts, therefore it is false, as religion is an opinion.

Prove that.

See? You can't. You just give your retarded-not-got-real-ideas opinion.

My demonstration proved AMERICAN's languagehood. With facts.
With linguistic analysis. With flair and style too actually.

You're opinion is wrong child.

You're slipping down the slippery slope to argument implosion faster than Rob Roy McGregor would have claymored a deserting slithery Campbell on the blood-spattered grassy slidey slopes of Ben MacDhui at the end of the worst attempt at a cattle raid since the Mull of Kintyre fiasco in 1665.

Re: Hi

Horrible isn't it, Mr. Alvin?

(...)

Indeed. But I prefer the less secular version:



John 18:22
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

Praise the LORD! Thank you brother!

That GODLY facepalm is exactly what I was looking for - now I feel much better!

How good it is to be in the uplifting company of such righteous True Christians! Praise JESUS!

We could try explaining it in an Object Oriented Programming language, but she'll probably go "OOP!"

No brain.
No morals.
No humility.
No Jesus.

Re: Hi

It's of absolute relevance.
You start from a false premise.
A falsehood. (And I don't mean a pretend jacket extension 'pour la tête')
That's a lie.
Your premise is a lie.

The issue of American English all depends on who you talk to.
The wrong linguists call American a dialect of English when it is in actual fact a language in its own right.
It may be part of a Sprachbund as are Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Faroese (all separate LANGUAGES in their own right according to ALL linguists), or considered part of a dialect continuum, but nevertheless it IS a language distinct from English and actually Biblically flooding it with Americanisms to such an extent that withing 15 years English English will just be AMERICAN with a gay accent.

AMERICAN is a Language. End of.
Check my sig for details. Educate yourself a little. You're becoming an embarrassment now.

Re: Hi

American English is defined as English spoken and written in the United States of America. Whether or not it is the closest thing to Early Modern English bears no relevance. The whole point is it is NOT TRUE that the KJV1611 bible is written in American English.

Re: Hi

I ignored it because it was a load of bull doo-doo, not because it was "rock solid". All he did was assign a bunch of letters to words, there was no mathematical or logical or truthful point to it at all.

What you call "a bunch of letters" those of us who have been in junior high call a representation of your non-sequitur statement "both of you are wrong, because you can't both be right" using simple predicate logic or boolean algebra.



The LORD must be testing my faith with this one - even for a woman, Daenerys appears to have been smitten with such merciless ignorance, she almost qualifies as an ambulating Theodicy Problem by herself...

Eph.4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Lord have mercy - I need a drink.

Re: Hi

Fine, then Early Modern English. Its still not American English, which Zechariah Smyth seemed proud to proclaim. Seems I'm not the only "TOTAL IGNORAMUS" on this board, and the other is considered a True Christian!

No. The total ignoramus is definitely YOU.

Brother Zech (not yet a True Christian by the way - an honest, valuable and sincere Forum Member if you bothered to read people's status, wench) is not a qualified linguist like myself, but he's well aware the AMERICAN is the closest living language to Early Modern English that exists.

Modern English English has degenerated to using the likes of 'Wotcha', 'chav, 'lavvy', 'quick cuppa' and 'curry' to name but a few.

AMERICAN preserves meanings such as 'mad' or 'rooster' in their original senses.

''Monkey not know nutting - then monkey shut cakehole'' would be my friendly advice.

So stop insulting your betters.

Re: Hi

YOU TOTAL IGNORAMUS!
Here's a sample of Old English:


The Old English Period finished before the 12th Century you 'throwaway-commenting-spout-anything-that-comes-into-my-head-when-I-don't-know-what-I'mtalking-about' dunderheid you.

At least get your facts right.
