Jihad in Islam has two meanings: the lesser Jihad, when all Muslims (or just loads and loads) are threatened, and everyone takes up arms to defend them (this is more of a state, not an action, and most Muslims believe that the most recent state of Jihad was hundreds of years ago), or the Greater Jihad, which is constant, which is just... being a good Muslim on the inside or something. I don't listen that hard in RE.
For Sufis
There is jihad, the struggle to live the thug lyfe and invade Persians, Greeks and infidels

Which hilariously means one can go up to Muslims and ask them "how's the jihad going". If one takes pleasure in that sort of smartassery.
"The jihad goes well brother"

Hopefully, this is meant as a gag.

Yeeaaah, it's got some cake.
If you want some serious cake in a somewhat unexpected place, pick up Dragon's Crown. Not what I expected at all.

Learning French, currently in a break in class, and holy crap have I gained an appreciation for how well Portuguese handles numbers (also English to a lesser extent (you still get stuff like "twelve hundred")) compared to other European languages.

One thousand and two hundred, dammit. Twelve hundred is fucking wrong.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

not saying I like that (or "nineteen eigthy-four"), just that it happens. French is still outright bizarre for numbers greater than 69.

One thousand, nine hundred and eighty-four. Your issue seems to be with people saying things wrong.

That, at least, we can agree on :P

What about the Bluterian jihad?

Erasmus wants you to know that it's actually the Butlerian jihad.

Well, this is said differently whether you're talking about a quantity or a date, yes?

Don't mind me, I'm just enjoying the novel spectacle of a New Zealander complaining of "people saying things wrong". :))
