@Kep, at work when I'm greeting people, how do I distinguish between using "Salut" and "Bonjour"?

Salut is informal, for friends, family members it well known collegues wereas bonjour is more formal, for someone you don't know or are less close

It's confusing here, it's like 75% Salut, 15% Bonjour and 10% "Ca Jour?"

Isn't it "ca va?"

Not in this country, lol

Bonjour is pretty safe :P

never heard of "ca jour" before

prolly some weird dialect

yes, either specific to the company, or the region

Region

As I said "Not in this country"

Distinctly implying not France

oh

but even in france, there are lot of region-specific words

Where's that quote that Valyrian is just a group of random words and not a developed language in any way shape or form?

> Tolkien was a philologist, and an Oxford don, and could spend decades laboriously inventing Elvish in all its detail. I, alas, am only a hardworking SF and fantasy novel, and I don't have his gift for languages. That is to say, I have not actually created a Valyrian language. The best I could do was try to sketch in each of the chief tongues of my imaginary world in broad strokes, and give them each their characteristic sounds and spellings.

Then he recounted the anecdote -- which he's recounted before -- of someone mistaking him for a Tolkien type and wanting his grammar and glossary and the like of Valyrian, and George admitting that Valyrian was seven words, and when he needs an eighth he'll make it then.

Take your pick

@JAD This one's also on the page for HV

thats how I found it

:D

HV?

awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/High_Valyrian

Ah

I just searched SSM for language and that was the first link

Oh, lol. Yours was the one I was looking for though, TLC

rejected :(

Yours was good to @JAD

Gold stars all round

Go us

But only hypothetical ones.

Boo

@M&TVFeeds Because "bow chicka wow wow"

@TheLethalCarrot M&TV never fails to amuse...

They do give some great Q/As

lol @TheLethalCarrot that comment was deleted

I know so unfair

Some people need to allow jokes every now and then

Like we do

Makes the site more pleasant

eh, this question should just be removed altogether

dumb answer too

It won't be though

it's on 3 closevotes already

it's on -6, so not on the front page

Well it's closed and heavily DVed

lol they asked another one

I don't know if that is enough to roomba it cos it's a dupe though

oh wow, the answer to that question was copy pasted from the dupe target...

Lol, even better

Okay that was my last jokey comment

Have you seen their answer?

yeah... not sure what to think

On one side, it looks surprisingly coherent

I didn't watch the series, so idk

It's been a while since I've watched it

I never finished it though so maybe I'll go back to it now haha

It was essentially violence, sex and gore though

Per my understanding

hmm

I don't remember any essence of a plot

lol

It's odd though, the question speaks of whether sex between owner and slave is "normal", but that isn't reflected in the answer

so technically it's naa? :P

Lol

this soap is getting better and better

Oh dear, just nuke the user already

:grabs popcorn:

aaaand it has another answer

quoted from quora this time

And another copy pasta

@JAD Once upon a time, a lengthy and highly upvoted answer of mine here (on cooking) was copied in full and verbatim on Quora.

Usefully pointed out as "NO SPOILERS"

@Jolenealaska See I don't have much problem with that because the user isn't really getting money. One of the top SFF user's answers got copied and posted to youtube by a Star Wars theorist, and he got several million views, that equates to a couple hundred dollars. For plagiarised content, images and all.
