ever wonder what words mean?

[Shaft]

when you scroll really fast its an animation of a man walking his dog....didn't anyone notice?

 

[WickedLiquid]

Don't you mean "it's"?

 

[kingg5]

Do not Correct Shaft.

 

[Shaft]

actually i meant "applesauce" thanks!

 

[kapow]

Anyway. My last gripe is about this claim:

in general, women have less say than men over whether to have sex, and whether condoms are used.

I just want to voice my disagreement. I'm sure most people do agree with that statement, but I think that's part of the problem. It only enforces that view, really, and becomes this ridiculous self-fulfilling perspective. The wording could be altered so that I might agree more. Maybe if they suggested that women are less likely to be vocal about it, I would accept that. They just seem to state it as a fact about the world.

Like you don't order me around all the time.

 

[Sightless]

Can someone close this please? It seems pointless

Just because you can't find the meaning in it doesn't mean that everyone else should be deprived of discussion surrounding it. That seems a little unreasonable. Surely it's not a fault to condemn that a few users don't find it interesting or useful, and furthermore, choose to voice their opinion about it. I could rag on RPG threads all day, and would you close every one of them? I shall put forward the request.

I am offended that you would judge and act so hastily. Close the thread if you like; I promise you it's only going to resurface again.

Like you don't order me around all the time.

You are going to wear that goddamn condom next time, kapow, and it better be strawberry. I don't care if you're allergic.

 

[MattAY]

I cant see it

 

[De-Ting]

^neither can I.

The things that have been read here....they can't be unread...

PRONOUNCIATION GUIDE
The wolof pronunciation system is relatively simple. Every symbol stands for only one sound, that is every symbol is
pronounced the same way in every word.
The distinction between short and long vowels is very important, because it is sometimes the only way to distinguish pairs of
words which have different meanings. Long vowels are always doubled, while short vowels are not.
There is a lot of prenalization in wolof. There usually occur with nasals such as m, n, etc...
VOWELS
As indicated, wolof vowels are either long or short. A long vowel is indicated a doubling of the symbol, and it must be
pronounced a little longer than a short vowel (which is not doubled). Long and short vowels can occur anywhere in the word.

[Lien]

when you scroll really fast its an animation of a man walking his dog....didn't anyone notice?

It's look more like someone is puking downward and we're following the puke... Ans he just ate like lots of Alphabet soup.

 

[kapow]

Like you don't order me around all the time.

You are going to wear that goddamn condom next time, kapow, and it better be strawberry. I don't care if you're allergic.

Look i don't care what rumors you've heard on the internet about Patrick Kanes favorite condom flavors, they do horrible things to my crotch!

 

[Shaft]

guys...stay on topic please.

 

[Sightless]

Keep it on and stop whining. Do you think Patrick Kane bitches every time his crotch bothers him? Now, if you want to go out an take it out on a cab driver, that's your deal. But you better be rocking latex when I'm around.

 

[KoalaRainbowPoop]

Shaft, we are on topic. Kapow and I are engaged in intellectual discourse about one of the points raised in the article, and Zorak is exploring the potential usefulness of adopting such a system.

I don't know what the hell KoalaRainbowPoop is doing, but whatever you do, don't open that box.

Sigged, btw.

PRONOUNCIATION GUIDE
The wolof pronunciation system is relatively simple. Every symbol stands for only one sound, that is every symbol is
pronounced the same way in every word.
The distinction between short and long vowels is very important, because it is sometimes the only way to distinguish pairs of
words which have different meanings. Long vowels are always doubled, while short vowels are not.
There is a lot of prenalization in wolof. There usually occur with nasals such as m, n, etc...
VOWELS
As indicated, wolof vowels are either long or short. A long vowel is indicated a doubling of the symbol, and it must be
pronounced a little longer than a short vowel (which is not doubled). Long and short vowels can occur anywhere in the word.
