livewrong811 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What's "BE" and "AE"? It's early in the morning, so most likely the answer to my question is obvious, and thus will be delivered scornfully. *braces self* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 BE is thousand times more fancy than AE...Colour honour humour...Only 'cause it's French. It developed from Germanic and Romanic...and it's influenced from scandinavian languages imho...BE isn't totally french, it's less arrogant - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm sorry... BE isn't totally frenchDid I say totally French? Did I? I don't recall that. The 'u' in words such as 'colour' and 'flavour' are borrowed from Old French, after the happy-go-lucky Norman Conquest... Oh never mind, read under the etymology sections of both: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/color; and http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chamber ... title=21st. Of course, also read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_a ... ur.2C_-or; and the third and fourth entries of this (in particular, but not limited to): http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/-or?r=75 They mention that the suffix -our derives from Old French (alternatively, Anglo-French/-Norman and Middle English*), which derived partially from the Latin -or (I used colour in my examples, but please, by all means, try out other -ours). We were talking of the -our/-or suffix, that's what I was referring to. *Bear in mind that Middle English was spoken from the Norman Conquest onwards, and ran simultaneously to Old French.

livewrong811 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I just got a headache, from that post. Nothing personal, Myrrdin, but You have a habit of posting informational, and very link-heavy, lectures. They are very good, though @Max_Power-Does BE stand for... British English?

Rubrica Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 But, needless to say, it is a habit that many people, including me, like, whether it be bad or not. Also, as a sign of my weirdness, I am now fixated on having an ash, or Æ, in my new username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
