proper pronunciation of Admin

[Fork Included]

i dont get faggots who say Admin with an emphasis on the A when in the word Administrator, which Admin is a short form of, the emphasis is on the DMI.

so to anyone that says ADmin instead of adMIN is an idiot.

thank you.

 

[Steve]

you say tomato, i say tomato.

when a word gets shortened it becomes a different word. you dont just hack the word(emphasis and all) in half and pronounce it like that. It doesn't matter..

If you understand what was said..then that was a successful communication. Which is the point of language. We aren't trying to get blowjobs from our english teacher fork..we are just communicating..and doing so quite effectivly.

pretty soon you will realize that correct spelling and all that will be a thing of the past.

The shorter we make our words, the faster we will be able to process them. As in, as we care less about traditional spelling and ambiguity, the more effective communication will become as a whole.

edit: you can literally take one letter out of 99% of english words, and people will still be able to know what they are. Its called context.

I just wasted 2 minutes ready this thread.... Shortbus, keeripes, it's a Chris let's play some Starcraft soon guys

 

[adam::davis]

Can't wait til we live in a society where Roachs' last post can be expressed in less than 10 words.

 

[Roach]

i've gone off on a tangent however...

 

[adam::davis]

I say we derail the thread and change the topic to how we can optimize the English language via use of fewer words.

You are so wrong it's not even funny. The complete opposite is true.

You are lucky to have context. If you shorten words then the total amount of words has to go down. The less words a language has the lower its ability is to express complex ideas. This is a fact.

I hear it daily, particularly in class, people chatting. They will say a string of words but the sentence as a whole lacks any content.

You are right, it makes sense to THEM because of context, like you know like that guy that did that thing with the girl in the pink top? But to anyone outside of this "context" all they hear is gibberish. What happens when this person has to explain themselves to someone that is not in the loop? They will literally be at a loss for words.

So no, its NOT a good idea for our language to be cut down, in fact everyone should try really hard to maintain whatever is currently left.

fork stop throwing names around like a 10 yr old child. Its a discussion where people give opinions...you spew ur garbage as if you shit roses..

theres no point in trying to have a discussion with you.

edit: i didnt say take some words out. I said shortening each word doesnt affect the human minds ability to decifer it. by shortening words that means the total number of words will go down? how so? its not as if we've reach some sort of word cap for 4 letter words...theres still many combinations of letters that are not used..
