While We Wait: Part 2

[Birdjaguar]

Old news to me

My parents use Han Xin as an example of a brilliant man who couldn't keep his tongue in check He was completely brilliant, the Alexander of the East; yet in the end he died with nothing, utterly nothing because although he brushed aside armies and states like flies, he had forever earned the enmity of a woman, the Empress, and her husband. A lesson to those who would offend women; they will either be your boss in the future, or even worse, your boss' wife

There's a lesson in every page of Chinese history

And maybe his current "fame" is more connected to his failings rather than his military accomplishments. Ah.. the law of unintended consequences at work.

That may actually be quite true Curse the law of unintended consequences though I admit that never actually happened to me in your nes

This thread was falling a little behind. I think it needs a bump.

 

[Thlayli]

I think you just wanted to show off your shiny avatar.

That to.

I sense a disturbance in the balances of nesing discussion. Nothing to talk about?

 

[Thlayli]

A lot of projects and updates seem to be moving slowly in the background, due to school.

Getting ready for college is using a lot of my normal free time.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Yeah, college is taking a massive bite out of my time. I'm having difficulty securing the time to write down all my ideas for my upcoming NES.

 

[Daftpanzer]

I just want to say that NES is pronounced 'nez' by cool people like me.

 

[LightFang]

Or by people who don't know how to pronounce anything! That's not even close. :<

Haha I was just saying it that way before reading this. I think I am psychic.

 

[~Darkening~]

Meh- I just pronounce is 'ness' like all sane people .

 

[North King]

Enn ee ess is quite sane.

 

[jeps]

nez? like nose in french.

[das]

[Kal'thzar]

[Kal'thzar]

Anyway, what big projects have people got lined up?

 

[jalapeno_dude]

sorry to change the topic from sexually violating other people...

But I mean, they have 'ss' for a reason, so you know when its meant to be an 'ess'. Show me any syllable of any english word that has a single 'es' pronounced 'ess'.

"Yes."

There we go.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Not as good, but:

Les- Short form for Lester or Leslie.

 

[Daftpanzer]

"Yes."

There we go.

Thats the odd one out

edit: les too!
