It's been a while. It has.

It's weird like that. It is.

[Haspen]

I just learned when, how and why use 'the' in English language. No more wondering what the heck that thing is

* Haspen gets EXP in English!

Wait, what? ... Isn't that pretty basic?

Oh, that's because I overslept for the very first English lesson in primary school. It was about alphabet pronounciation in English and 'the'.

Whilst I now know about 'the', I still don't know how to pronounce English letters

[Frumple]

Meh Hasp. Neither do most english speakers. We just kinda' muddle along with whatever the folks around us are saying.

E: There is something entirely too amusing about doing accounting practice in a spreadsheet program and making the credit amount for an entry a reference to the cell with the debit amount. Debits equal credits, ahahaha!

Does English have a case system, or even a necessary subjunctive?  Noooo.  Stop yer imperialist complaining

Don't you have three cases for personal pronouns and two for nouns?

[Vector]

Yeah, a little, but it's not enough to call English something other than analytic.

[Pnx]

At least it's not like Latin...

All this Alexander watching makes me nostolgic for Rome Total War, Which makes me want RTW2.  Which means Im giddy tonight and I didnt plan on that.  Makes me miss the GODs.  Ill try to find my disks . . . or a party.

Not my fault that English guys got curbstomped by Normans so easily

EDIT: Apparently, it's means both it is and it has. Woah. Such strange contraction xD

I think there is more context usually,

"It's (it has) been raining" (in  the past and now) vs. "It's (it is) raining" (now) vs. "T'was (it was) raining" In the past, but not now. But only a pretentious twat 'twas'ses.

Whilst is also one of those words that is jarring when you here it. While works much better in modern English.

Conversation about adults who play Pokemon in the office.  That was fun.  My manager was all staunch manly man about it.  I made sure they knew that I've never been a pokemon player (and I haven't), but when it was all over, I offered to sing the Jigglypuff song for him.  His emphatic "No, please don't"s were golden.

Female human responded to request to date positively.

[Descan]

What about the female non-human?

Male human?

Male non-human?

I see our efforts to make inroads into the dolphin population have been a great success! Anything to expand the Bay12 community.

Done all the sidequests.  Time to put the smackdown on the final bits of Mass Effect 2.

Shephard's dressdowns bring all the snipers to the yard.
