TheCenturion posted:The thing to remember with English is that words come from all over the place, and sound-alike doesn't mean actually-alike. To this day I think the most humorously apt thing I've ever heard said of the English language is that "English is what happens when a language goes to prison."

The English just got conquered a lot in the past and for some reason their language thrived because of it. They paid everybody back a couple of centuries later.

TheCenturion posted:] "i before e except after c" actually has more exceptions to it than words that follow the rule. It is the most useless piece of grammar advice in existence

I before E is how I remember how to spell Sam Kieth. It used to be on his website or one of his art books or somewhere. Been almost a year since he posted anything on his blog, I just noticed. Edit, oh, this is not the chat thread...

"You would destroy the Cybertronians with terminators?" "We would destroy the Cybertronians with one terminator. This is not war; this is pest control!" I considered the Badass thread, but it's just so ridiculous.

"English doesn't just borrow words from other languages, it chases them into dark alleys, raps them soundly about the head, and rifles through their pockets for them." "English is Latin, German and French standing on each other's shoulders wearing a trenchcoat." Really, English is a pidgin language that got really enthusiastic.

Is there a "Profound panels" thread, this is the most insightful to life experience stuff right here. I flipped through the Flaming Carrot omnibus once but it didn't seem quite accessible for me, but respect! I do love 80s Turtles and say The Tick.

I’d recommend you give the Doc Stearn… Mr. Monster books a try, they’re in a similar vein to The Tick at times, though the tone changes with each run of the series. From Beyond the Unknown #25 (1973)

There is no "i" in team. If there were, it would read "tieam" and that's just silly!

That would be Typhoid Mary, a femme fatale Daredevil villain with dissociative identity disorder of varying severity, murderous tendencies and a number of psychic powers.
