well, as I said, try mb-users. I don't know the bad well enough for a qualified vote
cikkolata
please do post, I need something to read.
yalaforge
bored?
yalaforge feels he'll completely waste this evening
depressing
cikkolata
both bored and kinda depressed.
yalaforge
let's open a new channel somewhere and talk about your database thingy
cikkolata
nooo :o
yalaforge
lol
cikkolata doesn't like being the centre of attention.
no?
cikkolata
not really.
yalaforge
me neither
then I'll have to vote a bit. *sigh*
cikkolata
:/
cikkolata tries to think up something to talk about
yalaforge
heh, I'm on the top voters panel. no need to vote then
cikkolata
I'm not...
but I was kinda preoccupied this week
my friends have buggered off now though.
yalaforge
I was no 1 a few times, but that's at least 1 year in the past
cikkolata
last time I was #1 was... christmas and new year
because I was using it as a way of ignoring everyone being overly cheerful for no good reason.
yalaforge
:-)
cikkolata
I noticed that people were adding more christmas music around christmas.
yalaforge
yup, me too
and it is all the same. ALL THE SAME!!
cikkolata
yes
cikkolata looks amused
yalaforge
I've never seen so many raindeer rudolph songs
cikkolata
I remember arguing about "choir"
yalaforge
*argh*
cikkolata
I refused to believe it's pronounced how it is
when I was about... 8?
yalaforge stll has trouble with english pronounciation
can't really blame you.
I hate saying new words until I've heard someone say them
yalaforge
the problem is that in movies they pronounce completely different than it is written in my dictionary
cikkolata
because I seem to mess everything up
oh?
is it an american/british thing?
yalaforge
mainly, I think
cikkolata
how does your dictionary do the pronunciations?
yalaforge
using phonetics
cikkolata
the international phonetic alphabet thingy?
yalaforge
yup
cikkolata
aww yay
I want a dictionary that uses it...
yalaforge
the way the pope manages to speak in 50 languages ;-)
cikkolata
all I have is my french one
yalaforge
I've never seen a dictionary without it
cikkolata
the english ones I have use some dodgy other system that confuses me.
yalaforge grabs his pocket dictionary
yalaforge
heh, I still recognize half of them :-)
cikkolata
half of them are the same as most languages :P
ValHallA|SW
ValHallA|SW is now known as ValHallA|SW`gone
yalaforge
:-)
yup, but I don't need them for german
ValHallA|SW`gone
ValHallA|SW`gone is now known as ValHallA|SW
cikkolata
I love the IPA... but none of my friends know what I mean when I'm saying something about one letter and I end up having to try and describe what I mean.
yalaforge has rather bad memories with the ipa
why?
yalaforge
tests at school where I had to write the word when the phonetics where given
cikkolata
wow
yalaforge
I somehow didn't like that
cikkolata
we were told to ignore the squiggles
the teacher made it sound so hard too...
yalaforge has not the slightest idea what a squiggle is :-)
the IPA representations of the french words in our dictionaries.
