i know enough about the beauty of language to have attempted to steer well clear of the topic. it is IMPOSSIBLE to argue beauty. just as it is impossible to argue love or religion. just doesnt work. however i will say one thing. every speaker of any language will claim that theirs is the epitome...
i didnt say that it was superior in all ways, simply that in many cases it is more phonetic that english- even the word English is illogically pronounced "Inglish". By opting for phonetic spelling (eg "sk" instead of "sch"), hopefully there will b a steady trend towards phonetic spelling...
The english language is a degenerate form of communication. It has done away with the basic phonetics inherent in almost every other language. "Internet speak" on the other hand, by the very fact that we can understand through reading it alone (without any prior knowlegde of its pronunciation)...
exactly. finally someone with common sense. ive never seen the abbreviation "sku" for school before ( i normally type skool), but i still understood it. There is no need for it to be A-grade english as long as we understand it. and dont pretend u dont. do any of u text with queens english?

Re: Pressure From Parents
my dad reckons i should study one hour for every hour of class at school. i told him to get fucked and put a hole in my wall :)
still doesnt stop him insisting (while screaming at me)
if by that u mean that if you believe jesus did miracles, then he didnt exist, and that if u believe jesus was a preacher, that he did exist...then err... yes i agree with u (i think)
there are always conspiracy theorists. Ask any serious historian and he will tell u that jesus did exist and he did claim to be the messiah. He will also tell u that someone claimed to b the messiah pretty much every second week.
That aside, what irritates me is why the fuck is god (Jehovah)...
can someone please explain this to me:
Ros and Guil was written i the times of existentialist philosophy- and this heavily influences the play- "the only beginning is life and the only end is death". part of existentialism is the belief that there is no preordained fate- that we make our own...
i dont think i look dorky- if u were to come to my school and see me with the group i hang with- the "popular kids"- u would think i fitted right in. Stay a day or two more and u'll see the truth. but i agree- good looking people have it easier than ugly ones like me :(
in anycase, though, i...
