with understanding how to pronounce it out loud.

Then again this may be my dyslexia influencing my perception. But just imaging me reading, you meant to convey fucking cunts and I read it as fucking nuts.


Though das Eisbärbaby is tot!


Yes I like my internet memes and thus I do not want to be confused by that word sometimes directed at women.

It is sad the cute polar bear is dead.

I should ask Legolas this, but I understand tot is German for "dead", but isn't it "to until" in Dutch? Are they pronounced mostly the same?

The Fascinating History of 10 Extra Letters the English Alphabet Used to Have The Shrike - 18/01/2018 06:35:45 PM 1358 Views
I have to take issue with the & and the "long s" Tom - 18/01/2018 07:28:09 PM 677 Views
Ok, let's define what a letter is. The Shrike - 18/01/2018 11:25:22 PM 742 Views
Yes, the long "s" is just a variant. It didn't have a name in Old English. Tom - 19/01/2018 03:39:51 PM 855 Views
I don't think not having a name in Old English matters here. The Shrike - 19/01/2018 05:05:47 PM 987 Views
I think it does, quite definitively. Tom - 20/01/2018 08:46:24 PM 723 Views
All th Germans I have known have considered ß to be a letter. The Shrike - 20/01/2018 11:01:40 PM 811 Views
ß is a ligature Tom - 21/01/2018 04:04:48 PM 683 Views
That article is even sloppier than the first Tom - 20/01/2018 09:01:33 PM 679 Views
All letters were once "fake". The Shrike - 20/01/2018 10:59:11 PM 782 Views
Isn't that kind of idealist Roland00 - 21/01/2018 08:02:14 AM 720 Views
Realist perhaps The Shrike - 22/01/2018 01:54:14 AM 667 Views

Deutschland, Deutschland! The Shrike - 22/01/2018 05:26:50 PM 571 Views
No, actually that's quite incorrect. Tom - 21/01/2018 04:14:18 PM 722 Views
You've missed the point. The Shrike - 22/01/2018 01:53:59 AM 725 Views
No, I'm trying to show the qualitative difference between the two events. Tom - 22/01/2018 04:34:20 PM 611 Views
The letter J? *NM* Roland00 - 22/01/2018 05:19:14 PM 424 Views
No, J is a lot like the long s. Tom - 22/01/2018 07:23:01 PM 660 Views
Feels we are talking past each other. Roland00 - 22/01/2018 07:52:53 PM 767 Views
You're wrong. Tom - 23/01/2018 01:21:26 AM 789 Views
Agreed. Ligatures aren't letters. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/01/2018 06:13:43 AM 403 Views
Eh . . . the Ampersand is probably now considered a logogram rather than a ligature. The Shrike - 19/01/2018 01:27:21 PM 658 Views
ſ is just a variant. *NM* Tom - 19/01/2018 03:40:53 PM 453 Views
I enjoy this thread muchly...yet I will not participate besides saying Roland00 - 19/01/2018 10:46:40 PM 673 Views
You're using sublime too often; it's losing its luster The Shrike - 20/01/2018 12:15:10 AM 713 Views

Thank all gods everywhere they are gone. LiterateDog - 22/01/2018 12:23:34 PM 667 Views
Some other letters should go too. The Shrike - 22/01/2018 01:12:31 PM 726 Views
How would you replace the ch sound? Roland00 - 22/01/2018 04:15:04 PM 691 Views
I'm against removing letters that have done perfectly well for over 2500 years, thank you Tom - 22/01/2018 04:41:23 PM 643 Views
And I am not. We have had this debate before. To each his own. :-) The Shrike - 22/01/2018 05:22:36 PM 645 Views
Attic Greek was written in uncials that are easy to read Tom - 22/01/2018 07:24:51 PM 648 Views
I thought of removing C, as well. LiterateDog - 22/01/2018 06:16:20 PM 672 Views
The CH is a problem. The Shrike - 22/01/2018 06:34:47 PM 593 Views
And calling people you don't like "fu king unts"? *NM* Tom - 22/01/2018 07:25:29 PM 496 Views
Meanwhile if it were written as fuking kunts, no one would have any issues The Shrike - 22/01/2018 07:54:41 PM 734 Views
I have an issue, kunts looks too much like nuts or knuts Roland00 - 22/01/2018 08:09:52 PM 668 Views
Would you prefer a Knut? The Shrike - 22/01/2018 10:55:09 PM 629 Views

Totes I will ask him about Tot *NM* Roland00 - 24/01/2018 09:49:45 PM 411 Views
Yes, about the meanings. Pronounced quite differently. Legolas - 25/01/2018 06:17:22 PM 763 Views
Scheisse. I did forget it. The Shrike - 26/01/2018 05:24:21 PM 632 Views
You mean Scheiße? *NM* Tom - 26/01/2018 06:49:26 PM 407 Views

So . . . no Klondike bars or Kit Kats for you. The Shrike - 22/01/2018 10:55:53 PM 725 Views
But it would look "fuking" stupid Tom - 23/01/2018 01:30:15 AM 667 Views
All languages change The Shrike - 23/01/2018 01:40:18 AM 657 Views
They change, but resistance is not futile. Tom - 23/01/2018 02:10:17 AM 703 Views
Also, you're not talking about the language changing. You're talking about changing the language. Tom - 23/01/2018 02:16:39 AM 720 Views
I am being a realist who understands that spellings change. Letters get dropped. Language evolves. The Shrike - 23/01/2018 06:53:25 PM 772 Views
It is posts like this that remind me why you are my RAFO tree Roland00 - 23/01/2018 10:29:53 PM 609 Views
Nope sadly he did not *NM* Roland00 - 23/01/2018 10:30:09 PM 338 Views
What are you talking about here? The Shrike - 24/01/2018 12:21:55 PM 656 Views
I am talking about Logograms Roland00 - 24/01/2018 09:48:48 PM 667 Views
Evolution, not revolution Tom - 23/01/2018 10:54:37 PM 764 Views
Should change occur in one's lifetime or only seen through a generational prism? *NM* Roland00 - 23/01/2018 11:07:47 PM 393 Views
I guess it depends on how long one's life is. Tom - 23/01/2018 11:39:40 PM 642 Views
It's also one of the reasons I am against the 1918 spelling reforms in Russia. Tom - 23/01/2018 02:06:34 AM 783 Views
