    True, but it's never used in the way you seem to think, like in modern languages.

    You had maybe 1 year of Latin class. I've had 5. This is my last year, even though - as you know - the Dutch education system usually takes six years, because:

    oh but thts indeed the point of it, in no way does Latin work as our languages do now,
    But as seen in my previous post ''ego;; is translated to ''I'' wich was pretty much what i was saying in my first post.

    also lets not forgot the current meaning of the word ''ego'' in our current lanugages. If someone is egoistic all he cares for is ''I'' (wich is why this thread was born, and why I thought it would be interesting to state why that is ...more or less)

    I sort of studied the basics of Japanese for a sort while a few summers back (I'm nerdy like that). Didn't seem that hard grammar wise. Kanji are annoying as **** obviously, but kanji be kanji.

    Kanji make me lose 237 brain cells. Even Japanese people are bad at Japanese.

    It's the most dumb writing system ever. Why don't you people do the same as the Koreans and just use hiragana and katakana exclusively and get rid of that kanji BS

    Because Kanji are important. Playing galge without any Kanji and nothing but hiragana/katakana... That's stupid as f*ck.

    Yeah, it's just as irrelevant as you not being impressed by me knowing Japanese.

    not rlly, that's my opinion. It Being: someone knowing the language of the country they are from not impressing me. Not knowing me isn't an opinion, it's a fact that makes no sense in this context whatsoever.

    I'm staggered that a post about a little quirk in a URL has managed to descend into an argument.
