    They introduced Mountain Dew to England about a decade ago. It wasn't a big hit and I don't know of any shops that stock it now. Haven't seen it in yonks. Can't even remember what it tastes like.. what does it taste like?

    Stop trying to be deep, yoo two, you ain't PULLING IT OFF *titter* If the sky had no colour, we'ld just see the blackness of space like one does from the moon.

    BG is/was amazing. But it is about 7 years out of date. I tried played thro' BG again about 2003, and it was really painful. The story and stuff was still great, but the interface (especially the journal, and the pathfinding) was so poor(/old-fashioned) it was just.. *shudders*

    Hah! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except, as I said, when trying to be pseudo-archaic one harks back to the former pronounciation. :"> :ph34r:

    Then you must DIE! The -ed used to be so pronounced, and thus pseduo-archaic stuff tends to pronounce it as such in order to give the effect of old fashionedness. However, there are a number of words where the -ed suffix is still pronounced -ed. "Learned" being the most obvious one.
  11. The Dark Something or other
    Actually, curs-edd is the correct pronounciation. Just like "learn-ed".

    You do know that there are quite a lot of numbers, right. In fact, even more than a million. Afterwrit: My favourite number is 6.

    Pollington's book teaches OE as if it were a modern living language. Everyone is agreed it is brilliant. Can be bought from Anghlo-saxon books. http://www.asbooks.co.uk/ The gesithas: http://www.tha-engliscan-gesithas.org.uk/index.html

    Fallout4? What the hell happened to FO3??

    It is my long-time obsession, and chief academic pursuit. Texts on my desk right now, as always, include: A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, A Guide to Old English, The Student's Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon, Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader...oh, and about 10 others related to Old English. To simplify things, it would be safe to say I own pretty much every major study text published in the last 100 years on Old English language and literature (all the way back to a 1905 version of Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer). Uncovering the heritage of the English language is a difficult thing to do, tied up as it is in fragments of myth laden with superimposed Christendom, and written in a language which only a few take the trouble to learn (quite understandably), but it's somehow become part of my cultural identity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I couldn't agree more, min gesi

    English has one of the most complciated vowel system of all Germanic languages, tho', surely. Even more tricky than Swedish. Compound this c. 20 vowels with an inconsistant spelling system using 5 vowel symbols.. and we have anarchy, baby :shades:
