...which does not change the fact that it's still a fragment. —Alorael, who has just posted a dependent clause without a dependent clause. This may alternately be viewed as an intended continuation of TM's post. Choose the way that appeals most to your inner linguist. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Either way, it's still grammatically incorrect, since TM's post wasn't an independent clause either. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Hey, my daughter is a dependent person without a dependent person, because her stuffed animals don't need to eat. So why not a dependent clause without a dependent clause? -------------------- It is not enough to discover how things seem to seem. We must discover how things really seem.

ADoS was pointing out (at least, I hope) the fact that Alorael meant to say he was posting an independent clause sans dependent clause. -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest. Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I wish there was a suitably suave way of saying "you're wrong" that the throngs of morons here wouldn't construe into something considerably lamer. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

This topic's survival largely still depends on TM's monikers. It periodically gets reborn whenever TM changes his monikers and adds a new post about it. We talk about a bunch of random stuff, and eventually it sinks out of visibility again until TM decides to change his moniker again. He still updates the first page, too. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Apparently it derives from "munik", meaning "name" in Shelta, a cant language based on Gaelic. [ Thursday, May 26, 2005 06:44: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:Actually, English is spoken in Wales. Welsh is taught in the schools and used on the signposts but only a minority of Welsh people (21%) actually speak it. There is a distinction between Gaelic and Welsh; in fact most Welsh speakers cannot understand the Gaelic languages of Scotland and Ireland (again, spoken by a minority). These, and other fascinating facts about Welsh, can be found here: About Welsh -------------------- Everything I know about the Avernum Trilogy: [ A1 | A2 | A3 ] Posts: 1104 | Registered: Monday, March 10 2003 08:00 |

Hmm, do you think the world should just gradually start using one universal language, or are there instrinct advantages to the diverse languages of the world? It makes sense that everyone should just have to learn one language and then be able to communicate with anybody around the world. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
