DEAD! Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm not sure I understand. We make different words by emphasizing different syllables too.corRECT! I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClevelandHockey Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm not sure I understand. We make different words by emphasizing different syllables too.It's hard to write the tonation of chinese on a basic keyboard. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?

The_Admiral Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I know that their syllables are either rising, falling, high, or low, and that each one is different, but that's hard to type out, you're right, and conceptually it's pretty foreign as well. Interesting that they make a distinction somehow, though.Did you know that Prozac was only successfully marketed to Japan when they began calling depression "a cold of the soul"? Prior to that dynamite marketing campaign, the Japanese thought it was perfectly normal to feel miserable sometimes and as such went unmedicated. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvTheNats Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Seriously though, enough bitching about "Today, we all are..." It's a thing. It's not going anywhere.You know, you're right.

rams80 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Today, we are all Jets who never left the runway.You know....the "Today...we are...." crap is making any death thread unreadable at this point. Just my opinion, and I'm sure a few shots will be fired off in my direction for voicing it....So be it.To be honest, I found that one to be mildly amusing.

Milo Meningocele Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 So, I tried to go the PM route to get clarification on JQK's comment that didn't make any sense. He meekly refused to explain, so I'm left to guess. Does he think I'm wheelchair bound? If he does, does he think it's okay to include that as part of an insult? ICS, you thought that his post was PotY material, you must understand what it meant. Enlighten us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICS, you thought that his post was PotY material, you must understand what it meant. Enlighten us?I thought you've stated before that you're in a wheelchair due to your condition / namesake? If I thought it then it's reasonable that someone else did too, though of course that doesn't make the post any more necessary.
