Å skryte av språkkunnskaper

[chimp]

.....just a piece of cake!!!

Sånn bittelitt på siden, så lurer jeg lpå, siden vi er inne på språk, eller du er det da, Waco, om du mener at vi skal tenke wasso om deg, eller mangler navnet ditt en K?

mellom, I think your mind was wandering while typing that last input - in which language do you claim Waco is pronounced "Wasso"? I for one cannot think of any. I do however know that there is a place in Texas which bears the name Waco ("wako"), probably best known to the world from the little incident were a religious sectleader whatshisface had his congregation commit mass suicide with him in April 1999 was it?

Ingeborg, I would suggest that in written pieces you try to avoid shortcuts like "I'd" in favor of "I would" in english, and with that attain a more mature style. I also think the structure of your sentences, the wordorder, gives away that your first language is not english.

Finally, I am sure the eager reader can find flaws my english too, but I insist on attributing that to me not being anal

Sorry, I was convinced that Waco was trying to sound Wacky, and had chosen the name Wacko for that same reason. Wasso is not a name in any language, or perhaps it is? The right pronuciation for Waco would be Wasso, wouldn't it? But please - feel free to enligthen me if I'm wrong.

wack·o ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wk) also whack·o (hwk, wk)

n. Slang pl. wack·os

A person regarded as eccentric or irrational:

“a catchy pop portrait of a wacko who talks to himself in French”

(Phoebe Hoban).

Ok, siden dere er pottetette i huene deres, så må jeg forklare igjen..

Selvsagt trenger dere ikke bevise noe som helst... men jeg tar dere heller ikke seriøst dersom jeg ikke kan se at noe stemmer.... Hvis juristen henviser til lovtekster når hun argumenterer kan hun godt være jurist.... men en lektor som har mase små sklivefeil bli ike tat seriøst.

Forstår dere hva jeg mener og hvorfor jeg har rett? Dvs...jenter som dere som skryter av engelskkunnskaper uten å si My name en gang er bare latterlige usikre småjenter som tror egoet er å hevde seg på en prateside...

Waco

Så du mener at en lektor i matematikk ikke kan ha skrivefeil? Ingen mennesker er perfekt

Hmmm.... it was back in 93, when David Koaresh armed a christian group waiting for ufo, but ended with fbi in Waco Texas...

Thats all...

[VesleBråka]

Enlightment coming right up - Waco is pronounced "weiko" to put it crudely. I think in i.e. french you need accent circonflex on the C to make it pronounced S when the following letter is O.. but french grammar and me are a few years apart so don't take my word for it

And the gentleman's name I am pretty sure is David Koresh (without looking it up..), I have a pretty good memory for spelling. I remember the outlines of the incident, but had forgotten the UFO-bit of it. It happened on my birthday, almost every year lately something noteworthy has happened then. The year after was the Oklahoma bombing when Timothy McVeigh decided to unleash his anger upon random victims.
