Fucking Germans.

This. It's easier in every way. It's also a convenient color to paint the entire background of your game with, so that you stay vigilant about getting the background image covering it right.

TODO: read MFD.

that's the one I always use.
Then again, the German word uses "a" ...

Or to get them both tickets, just for confusion?

Pink punches, seemingly.

Ben, you ever looked into Proto-Indo-European langauge?

The difference of course being that some people used to speak Proto-Indo-European and nobody ever spoke lojban.
-
nope. but GIS shields this:
I think it didn't shield it well enough; you found it anyway.
-
At least lojban doesn't look like:
-
Proto-Indo-European looks like:
(Get it? Because it never had a written language? GET IT? SO CLEVER?!)
-
And that's cool. But what idiot thought it'd be a good idea to not only give it one, but make it look like that? I have no interest in lojban, but at least it's a matter of idle people trying to make things easier (in a way that probably won't work), instead of people with doctorates designing something that no one anywhere can read, for a language no one cares about learning?
-

They didn't give it one.
They're spelling-out the syllables in phonetic notation. It's not a writing system.
-
Unless this is just Chrome barfing on it again, that isn't any phonetic notation I've ever seen. Unless the language doesn't have schwa.
-
Ok well here's my suggestion: leave me the fuck alone and take it up with them if you care so much.
-
They're spelling-out the syllables in phonetic notation. It's not a writing system.
Uh, aren't many writing systems basically that (other than the photographic/ideographic ones)? Just using a notation that people recognized at the time the word was transcribed vs. a currently standardized representation.
-
Probably not, no. Because after people have used something for a few centuries, it's ultimately just a currently standardized representation anyway.

Really? I Googled bothfuchsia
andfuschia
, and Google didn't correct the spelling. Though it search for both variants both times. But with slightly different results…

IT'S ■■■■■■■ING FUCHSIA.
You don't actually expect @accalia to spell a word that approximately nobody else can spell correctly, do you?
-

But Chrome will wavy-underline it if you spell it wrong in the editor.

that would be rather discoursistent of me, no?

I just remember that it was named for a botanist named Fuchs — makes it easy to remember the correct spelling.

Status: I just walked in to the bedroom and the wife is watching shitty, trashy TV.
Me: "What the fuck are you watching? '16 and pregnant'?
Wife: "Sort of. It is not called '16 and pregnant' now though".
Me: "So, '19 and pregnant'?"
Wife: "More like, '23 and still skanky'".I love her sharp wit.

There was a Fuchs family in my hometown. We always had fun with mispronouncing their last name. In high school (and my entire life until I got married...) I had a thing for girls with low morals and even lower standards. The running joke was always:
Friend: "Where have you been?"
Me: "Out with Ashley."
Friend: "Ashley Fucks?"
Me: "Yes she does..."

Status: amused that the Minecraft community seems to be having trouble with the concept of post the name of your favorite mod for a chance at free games.
Well, one out of thirteen ain't bad...

7.7% of those people are not idiots.
Seems about right...

If that's your status, TMI.

Finding the same user in another site is always weird, man.
