Something I do in my Spare Time

[Xalthar]

I\'ve got three characters... Xalthar, a lvl 15 drow. Chormash, a lvl 10 orc. and can\'t remember my Ogre\'s name but he\'s lvl 13.

fights are over in about 10-15 minutes after you get the mail... a lot of calculations are made, so it takes a little time

oh, and btw.. if you want to find out some of the nice danish words, check this site out Dictionary man, does my english teacher love that word

[tygerwilde]

the word dictionary?

english teachers here love dictionarys with a passion, I had one teacher that had these oversized dictionaries, they were like a foot and a half thick, notebook sized. man, we could barely carry em back to our desks...


or are you talking bout the root words that build the word dictionary?

[Xalthar]

I was talking about the word \"Dictionary\"... He is the worst english teacher I\'ve had yet, can\'t pull my grades any higher than 9 (B+ I think) and last year my exam grades in english were 11 (A).. and B+ is the highest grade he\'s given..

Here in Denmark in the \"gymnasium\" (equivalent of high school) we have to chose if we want to focus our studies on either mathematics or languages.. And the entire language class got 6 (C) I mean, he sucks, not only is he bad at english, but he takes it out on others.. sure some of us aren\'t as good at english, but the entire class?? that is incredible... We\'ve filed a complaint against him.. So I\'m hoping I get a different teacher next year... Just had to get that out of my head, because I really don\'t like him...

[Xalthar]

spam is what you get for joining the forum only to post a stupid link!!!

[tygerwilde]

yeah, we\'re having a serious discussion here. so buzz off!:P

[Xalthar]

oh, btw tyger, the dictionaries we use are called \"Oxford Advanced learners dictionary\" they are actually quite good, and also HUGE... It\'s gotta hurt to drop one of those on your feet!

[tygerwilde]

sounds painful, course I had a teacher who liked whacking kids on the back of the head with dictionaries if they weren\'t paying attention in class... don\'t let her have access to those things:P

[Xalthar]

heh, I wrote a couple of english words on the blackboard before a class, and when our english teacher saw them as he entered the room, he went amok because he didn\'t know what they ment Then when he finally found them in his beloved dictionary he said the words were originally greek, and that was why he didn\'t know them... I love it when I\'m the one making the teachers increase their vocabulary, although it should be the other way around

[tygerwilde]

heh, there\'s lots of words in english that come from other languages... could be fun if I could find a list, if you really want to drive him crazy, look up some american diseases... or medicines, they\'re really difficult, especially when you try to pronounce them

english can be fun, I like the word queue which is the only five letter one syllible word in the language.

it\'s pronounced the same as the letter Q. a lot of people mistakenly pronounce it kwey or kwuh or even cue`eu

[Xalthar]

I\'ll try looking up some yeah I know the word queue, and you really don\'t have any way of knowing how it\'s pronounced until you hear someone else pronounce it, or look it up in a dictionary. We have many of those in danish too, and it\'s really stupid for the words could be much shorter and easier to understand without all those letters..

We have a book that explains not only the way our words should be pronounced, but also the way they are pronounced in daily talk... and it\'s a whopping 1700+ pages!! And the best thing is that it doesn\'t even have all danish words!
