the dumb thing was is he was comparing it to using the & in books
i've never seen an author use & in place of and in dialog, or in nondialog text
I don't mind using it. I dunno, an update to English would be cool to see :v:

shit, why don't we just add "ʃ", representing the sh- sound?

What Ћ ʃit are you talking about?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41385762]To be honest we already have a symbol that replaces an incredibly short word: &
The logic isn't that strange[/QUOTE]
but we dont use & every time we want to use the word and, yet some people are using this new symbol every time they use the word the, its seriously stupid
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;41386693]its seriously stupid[/QUOTE]
no ju ɑɹ
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;41381984]This is a much better idea than using "le"
For that matter, why change anything? What we have is already so much better than German, for example, with der, die, das, dem and den.[/QUOTE]
Hey now, German articles aren't so bad. We learn them from a young age so it's natural. Die is for plural/feminine, der is for masculine, das is for neuter, den is for a direct object, and dem is for when a preposition is at the start of a sentence usually. Then there's also des for showing possession usually. So in total: [I]Die, der, das, den, dem, des.[/I]
Okay it's pretty bad

Nothing is as bad as Latin.
Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant
I love, you love, he/she/it loves, we love, you all love, they love
I repeatedly told T to stop sleeping with h.

That's just conjugation. Spanish and French have that too. But Latin also has declension. (Conjugation is changing the endings of verbs; declension is changing the endings of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. Latin has five different declensions with up to seven grammatical cases.)

As a second year Latin student I can confirm that Latin is over complicated.

Spanish just has el, la, los, las. Masculine singular, feminine singular, masculine plural, feminine plural, respectively.
Everything has a gender in Spanish.

So..how do you pronounce Ћ 27 letter in Ћ alphabet? "Ћ"
[QUOTE=ironman17;41381577]Ћ letter kinda looks like it's Cyrillic or something; doesn't really look Latin to me.[/QUOTE]
It is cyrilic for soft ch, or Tsh
Garry should make it so that every time someone types "the" on the forums it changes to "Ћ" automatically. We will go into history as the people who started making use of "Ћ"!

I find this a moft difagreeable propofition.
it seems like i'm so attuned to the way the is used in a context that you could replace it with basically anything and i'd still mentally place "the" there

As someone who can read cyrillic all your posts pretty much broke my mind.

[QUOTE=LoneWolf_Recon;41392725]Isn't that the same thing as Planck's constant? (ℏ)[/QUOTE]
No, you're thinking of Planck's constant divided by 2pi. The symbol for the normal constant is h.
[QUOTE=Idzo;41392515]As someone who can read cyrillic all your posts pretty much broke my mind.[/QUOTE]
Most Cyrillic doesn't have Ћ as a character, it's exclusively Serbian.
I learned Russian Cyrillic and was confused by people saying that this is a Cyrillic character. There are quite a few Cyrillic alphabets with different characters and rules.
give her Ћ dick
