Rock Paper Scissors

[Kobrag]

Still funny that for all your talk, that you believe viking is a noun and not a verb.


It;s proper use is: "I am going viking today."
Or as a noun: He is a Vikingr

Notice the difference?

It;s meaning is to trade/raid.
Vikingr is the proper noun for a trader/raider. Or plural

[RedHaze]

I do believe a-viking is the verb.

So what if I didn't know that vikingr was the correct term?
That is what is called ignorance, not stupidity.

Edit: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_to_go_a-viking_mean
Vikingr is the Scandinavian term.

[Kobrag]

And the vikingr were scandinavian.

So us it properly, fool.

[RedHaze]

If you had read the link, you would see that people later adapted it to Viking, so either can be used.
Both are correct, both can be applied to the same people.

[Kobrag]

It;s lazy not to take the extra effort and preserve the way of things.

Being lazy and ignorant? That is criminal.

[RedHaze]

Why does it really matter? It's one letter, the word hasn't changed drastically.

Also, in this instance, you can't be lazy and ignorant - that doesn't make sense.
In this instance, if you're too lazy to put the extra letter on Viking, then you obviously know it is spelt Vikingr - otherwise you wouldn't be lazy as you don't know.

But this is getting off topic, we shouldn't be talking about laziness, ignorance and the spelling of Vikingr.

Being lazy and ignorant? That is criminal.

It's lazy that you didn't say:

"It;s lasich not to taken the extra esfort and preserve the weg of things.

Being lasich and ignoraunt? That is criminalis."

Saying Viking is fine.

If I wrote the sentance like that, the ignoramous would think I was mentally non-functional.

[Gaunt]

Exactly, hence language changes. He is just as right saying viking or vikingr so as long as people understand what he means.

[RedHaze]

I dislike the word ignoramus.
It annoys me because everyone is ignorant of some things, you can't know everything (which is the only way you can not be ignorant).
If you are using it as I'm stupid, then that's just incorrect because my IQ is 145. What you were gauging is ignorance, not intelligence. Since I'm in grade nine, I think I'm well justified in being ignorant of most subjects. After all, I can't research everything, and I don't have an idyllic memory.

So you're in ninth grade.... This begins to explain it. Dude, I'm nearly double your age, and I don't know everything about everything as you seem to. Also, my IQ is about the same.

[RedHaze]

That is slightly comforting, though also a bit disturbing.
As you might know, IQ is based on intelligence as well as age, so since you're nearly double my age, and your IQ is about the same, it seems that you are less so intelligent than I (though not by much, I imagine).
How is my being in ninth grade explain anything except my ignorance (which is really nothing to be ashamed of at my age ) - as I haven't even finished high school yet?

[Devercia]

You guys should ask yourself if you are aware that language is both memetic, such as what Red haze argues (Þe -> Ye -> The), or is authoritarian, such Kobrag aruges ("Don't distort its original purity!")

Additionally one should also be aware that  that some people assign the burden of communication on the speaker (demanding succinct clarity) and some others on the listener (expecting interpretation)

[RedHaze]

In my eyes, both hold the burden, although if a Spanish person goes to America, he can't really expect anyone there to understand what the **** he's talking about.
