[Claghorn]

But would I be a lover of kooky cocks or a kooky guy that loves cock?

Hopefully neither, though I did like "kooky sock lover"

 

[in stitches]

I read it as the latter.

 

[b1os]

As a matter of fact, it has been scientifically proven that the way you read it says a lot about you.

Klaghorn, kooky sock lover

But not fun sock lover. Never fun socks.

 

[Naive Jr.]



That's true for British English but the US has its own way of kickin' it (saying words) ♬ ♪ I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my c's ♪ ♬

(In American English, you have to add a cedilha to make the c be pronounced like a k. And so it would have to be Çlaghorn.)

Dear L 'Incandescent,

I did not refer to British English, and if it is true or not, is another question I do not want to discuss now. We were discussing Claghorn under the implicit assumption of American English. You don't provide any argument or example to demonstrate that what I stated was wrong, because any such woul be wrong. In regard to your pride in belonging to a particular political collective, as a human being whose individuality appears in community, one can learn to know a true relationship. If you are interested in language, you can study phonetics as well as the collective to which English belongs, Indo-European, which as language family belongs to the science of (all) language, just as you as a human individual belong to the human race.Who you are, what <America> Is, you can know superficially, if you wish.

Dear Naive,

If you had read L'Incadescent's post more thoroughly, you would have noticed that he actually made the point that in American English, Claghorn is pronounced "Slaghorn" unless you add the cedilha. Thusly, if Claghorn's username were "Çlaghorn", in American English, it would be pronounced "Klaghorn". This is American English 101 and should have been tought to you by your Grundschullehrer.

To sum it up, you just made a complete arse out of yourself and demonstrated blatant deficits in reading comprehension.

 

[imatlas]

Yawn. Im betting on Neo.

 

[Claghorn]

It's Scottish and can only be pronounced correctly when belligerently drunk.

 

[emptym]

We've definitely been keeping an eye on 38R and Naive. Casey's assessment of 38r's misunderstanding seemed right on to me after scanning all those old posts. No matches for Naive, fwiw. But I've TO'd him for a couple weeks to give us a break and him some time to find other interests.

Btw, just wanted to remind people that asking for extra money to cover Paypal fees in the classifieds section is against their rules and ours. Don't do it.

 

[donjuan17]

I never saw what the issue was with 38R. He seems like a relaxed guy and we've talked and traded items through pm.
Always hated seeing how everyone jumped on him as soon as he posted.

Two socks talking to each other in the Cars thread.

Two socks talking to each other in the Cars thread.

sorry couldn't help it: thought of this after reading your poast, piob...

 

[Hayward]

I'm thinking the sock epidemic has reached the Watch Appreciation Thread as well, in the form of "neville irving" and "AbrahamLebowitz"...

 

[Hayward]

Actually, belay that: they are the same socks.
