TET: One Thread to Rule Them All

[Sautharland]

No, Icelandic and Old Norse are the same language almost, many say Icelandic is just Norse spoken in today's society. It isn't Old Norwegian though - thats the next step on the evolution to Modern Norwegian from Old Norse.

Old Norse: sem óvinir hans brigzluðu honum eftir því, sem síðarr man sagt verða.
Icelandic: sem óvinir hans brigsluðu honum eftir því, sem síðar mun sagt verða.

Can I ask you a favour? What exactly is the difference between þ and ð? I mean I know that they're both 'Th' sounds, but...

þ never appears at the end of a word, only the start (því not ðví), while ð never appears at the start.

While both represent the digraph th, there are more than one way to pronounce this digraph - even in English. Thorn is for words that it is vocalised, like in the word that. While eth is for words that aren't, like this - which is non-vocalised.

How do you pronounce brigsluðu? The thingy between the two 'u'

That is known as eth and is a "th" sound.

As for the pronounciation: breey-sloo-thoo

Sorry I'm gushing. I'm juts approaching this most amazing event.

It's just a preference thing, Kitty.

I knaws. But just cause something isn't your preference doesn't mean it's gross, or something's wrong with it... It's just not your preference.

Why not allow it to be gross? That Pork thread serves as a good metaphor. We westerners think eating dog and the like is gross where other cultures think differently. It's harmless to think of such trivial things as gross, in my eyes.

Give me a break. I think something looks disgusting, I call it gross.

duh.

Well good for you? I don't agree with that. I value respect.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

I'm not calling people's bodies or kinks gross.
Just their body hair.

Body hair is part of a body -.-

So is cancer.

Ripple looks classier . . .

[Livata]

How lulzy

How do you pronounce brigsluðu? The thingy between the two 'u'

It's the same sound as English "th" in "the".

I'd guess it's pronounced "braiz-looth-oo.

Wait, there are two th sounds?

I have no issue with being hairy <.<

Yea, this was the consensus within our region. Looks like we'll be using the rippled one.

Ah, thanks mate. Mind if I practice on you in a few months? If we're both still around?

And I think black skin is gross.

Death to the other underwear!

Why are you so against the idea of other people grooming their bodies to their personal aesthetic?

[Stattr]

It tastes weird.

@Ion: yes.. Yes you are late. Yu should hit the refresh button more often.. :3

Sorry. I just had tuna noodle casserole for dinner.

Ohh, one of my favorite dishes.

@Ion: how many?

My memory of 2011 is blurred with my memory of 2012 insofar that they may as well be the same year.
Cool.

I wouldn't use the word "gross" in that instance, but not being attracted to the black color is okay.

I smudged the line between 2007-2011 xD.

[Zweite Alaje]

Lol, I actually like it, but I was suprised by the prevailance of that phoneme when I first started to listen to Dutch music. I was like WTF.

Like this?

I think I have a new artist to listen too.

:3 In all seriousness, I'm not.
I've got nothing against people with body hair.
Just don't like it on meself.

Really? That's awesome because it's one of my favorites as well.
