Somebody needs to fucking pay for this:

[Morb]

I wanna kill that piece of shit who got up one morning and decided that it would be a good idea to spell even one single fucking word like this:

Bureau.

Somewhere down the line, someone has to be responsible for that word.

Bureau.

If I live to be 350, I'll never memorize how to spell that fucking word. But I would like to slowly dissolve the person who invented that spelling in acid. And I would have a good time spelling out "OOPS" and "OH NO" to them as they fucking died.

Bureau.

I'd like to give that faggy, worthless excuse of a crap pile an extermination trail on his rotten DNA for bringing that upon the English language so that his evil ass could never bear children.

Bureau.

My god, JUST KILL THE FUCK WHO DID THAT TO THE WORLD!

It's not that people can't memorize that word, IT'S THAT WE DON'T WANT TO! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE WHATSOEVER! THAT WORD SUCKS!

I'm gonna form the "Bureau of Fucked Up Words" (the BOFUW), and we will personally finance a campaign against this word. We will destroy all in our way. And we will not be happy until that word is changed to something more sensible, like "b.. e..."

Well, we're gonna do something about it, that's for sure.

[Revvy]

Btw, it's French.

[Yggdrasil]

Yep. The pronunciation in French rolls of the tongue.

[a334jv2df]

Yea kinda like the last name Beaudet which is pronounced Boda. It's not that hard to catch maybe you should go back to school you fucking retard. Or better yet eliminate yourself as to prevent future offspring.

[Hammer Tank]

I like the bureau of fucked up words.

[HCxAndrew]

lmao..
That was kinda harsh..
But it really isn't that hard of a word to spell/pronounce

[Kinkou]

i hate the word bourgeoisie

for the same fucking reason

:mad:

[Eridani]

Diarrhoea is the worst.

i hate the word bourgeoisie

:mad:

Maybe its because you wish you were?


Oh and these words are great, no to mention interesting, though I understand why tards have trouble spelling it, because they should but were not aborted. These words are often foreign and based on latin and thus englifying them is just dull and disrespectful.

[Kinkou]

i don't have a problem spelling it
i had a problem coming to terms with the fact that i had been mispronouncing it wrong in my head for weeks while reading the communist manifesto, but the word was bourgeois then.. this being years ago
i've moved on but i still feel sour thinking about it :(

[Mantikore]

ive never been able to spell the word "manouvre" or whatever

Do you sympathise with those lefty bastards? Obviously having parents who have got rich doing very little due to the house price increases of the last 50 years I stand for everything capitalism does and more...

[Equinox]

God, it's one word, and if your mind can't memorize that, then download a spellchecker for your internet browser. :rolleyes:

[Wineblood]

There are plenty of other words, use those.

[Cliche Guevara]

fuck there a word I feel the exactly the same way about but I CANT FUCKING REMEMBER IT ARG WTFFFFF
:mad:

The real problem is that bourgeois and bourgeoisie are two words with entirely different applications; Marx, Engels, and other random dead people from the 19th-century being the only ones who know the difference.

Do you care to enlighten us to what both words mean? (I thought they were the same)

[johnplywd]

fuck the french and them nasty ass hairy women they got

and think youre mistaking france for greece :eek:

[jon-eli]

I could be wrong (obviously), but my impression from reading all the Marxist stuff, is that bourgeois is the adjective form of the noun bourgeoisie.

Sorry I miserad, you said application, i thought you said meaning. I am a fucking idiot, I thought you were postulating that they have different meanings due to differing philosophers views, my bad.

[jon-eli]

Me? Postulate? Pft! Thought you knew me better than that. (It's nice to meet you, by the way.)

[jackketch]

Americans.

You can't spell that which you are incapable of pronouncing.

Get an American to say "aluminium vehicle".

Shibboleth much?

...and before anyone says it, no I haven't misspelt 'aluminium'.

[The English Gentleman]

Me? Postulate? Pft! Thought you knew me better than that. (It's nice to meet you, by the way.)

It is nice to meet you, fancy being my best man next saturday?

[Kinkou]

aluminum ftw

wtf aluminium? :mad: :facepalm:

[jackketch]

aluminum ftw

wtf aluminium? :mad: :facepalm:

Like I said, if you can't say it then you won't be able to spell it either....and you'll even try and go and change the dictionary to disguise your ignorance.

[freeRadical]

aluminum ftw

wtf aluminium? :mad: :facepalm:

What he's getting at is that, over here in America, it's spelled aluminum and pronounced uh-loo-muh-nuhm

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/aluminum

But those brit-fags across the water spell it aluminium and pronounce it al-yuh-min-ee-uhm

Americans adopted -ium to fit the standard form of the periodic table of elements, for most of the nineteenth century, with aluminium appearing in Webster's Dictionary of 1828. In 1892, however, Charles Martin Hall used the -um spelling in an advertising handbill for his new electrolytic method of producing the metal, despite his constant use of the -ium spelling in all the patents[26] he filed between 1886 and 1903.[32] It has consequently been suggested that the spelling reflects an easier to pronounce word with one fewer syllable, or that the spelling on the flier was a mistake. Hall's domination of production of the metal ensured that the spelling aluminum became the standard in North America; the Webster Unabridged Dictionary of 1913, though, continued to use the -ium version. (my highlights)

So you used to spell it right but were too *cough* challenged *cough* to pronounce it properly.

Come on now, jack. Let's not start another American-British war. We all know how the last one turned out.

Well as your modern soldiers seem unable to shoot straight or recognize the enemy I dare say the result this time would be different.

You know parents here are now scared if their sons have to serve along side yanks?

[Kinkou]

pffft this has nothing to do with me being challenged. i have been misinformed :(

[jon-eli]

Overcompensating, methinks... (Feelings of inadequacy? A need to prove self-worth? Really, as if this has anything to do with the size of the queen's dick.)

[freeRadical]

Well as your modern soldiers seem unable to shoot straight or recognize the enemy I dare say the result this time would be different.

Please give me a source that says our soldiers can't shoot straight. And as being able to recognize the enemy; that's kinda hard to do when they dress like civilians and try their best to blend in with civilians.

You know parents here are now scared if their sons have to serve along side yanks?

I'd be scared to fight alongside brits. Except for the SAS, I'll give the brits props for the SAS.

[freeRadical]

It's alright, those redcoats are good at that. They have a habit of making things, like words, more complicated then they need to be while us Americans make things simple.

[jackketch]

Please give me a source that says our soldiers can't shoot straight. And as being able to recognize the enemy; that's kinda hard to do when they dress like civilians and try their best to blend in with civilians. It's real easy, the ones with camo jackets and union flags on them are the GOOD GUYS who are trying to save your flabby American arses. The 'rag heads' are THE BAD MEN.

Simples.

[jackketch]

o be while us Americans make things simple.

Yep, you do 'simple' real well.

[freeRadical]

It's real easy, the ones with camo jackets and union flags on them are the GOOD GUYS who are trying to save your flabby American arses. The 'rag heads' are THE BAD MEN.

Simples.

If you're referring to friendly fire, I will admit we do have a lot of that. I was referring to the rules of engagement seeing as we can't fire unless fired upon and it's hard to tell who's the bad guy when they blatantly try to blend in with civilians.

If it was up to me, I would just nuke the bastards. But, it's not up to me.

[NamelessNom4d]

ITT: Jackketch goes on one of his usual anti American rants.

Dude, get over yourself. Both modern America and modern Britain have their issues...

However, there is a reason why America is the #1 nation in the world...

Anyway, bureau is French, and it's not hard to spell or pronounce if you know any bit of French. Aluminum is the correct spelling of the metal now, because it is easier to say and makes sense - because not much else on the Periodic Table makes sense! Seriously... if I was in charge I would just call every element by its correct Latin name, that way the symbols would actually make sense!

Fe = Iron. LOLWUT? W = Tungsten. LOLWUT?

Chlorine = Cl but Fluorine = F? Why not Fl?

So why not simply drop the "i" in Aluminium and just make it Aluminum? It's far easier to pronounce and it's not like the rest of the elements actually make that much sense...

pwned.

[Former FBI Agent]

British spelling is pretty retarded. Way too many extra silent letters just for the hell of it. If anything, we should have changed more.

[Wineblood]

Fe = Iron. LOLWUT? W = Tungsten. LOLWUT?

Chlorine = Cl but Fluorine = F? Why not Fl?

Oh fuck, all the elements weren't discovered by english speakers? Fe is short for fer, french for iron, not that difficult to remember.

[Mantikore]

Oh fuck, all the elements weren't discovered by english speakers? Fe is short for fer, french for iron, not that difficult to remember.

Ferrum, Aurum, Agrum, Wulfrum, Plumbum, Kalium, Natrum, Cuprum and the like are latin names that may still be used scientifically.

i remember in chemistry, the naming of some complex compounds required the use of latin names

Flourine is obviously F, but i think Chlorine was named Cl because there was already one with C as its symbol. and carbon has been discovered long before chlorine

though i think this thread is getting a bit derailed. no one really cares if anyone spells it Aluminium or Aluminum. we both know what youre talking about and anyone who feels strongly about it needs to calm down a bit. we're talking about retarded words that no one knows how to spell :rolleyes:

An American and an English man are standing in a hotel lobby.

American: Are you waiting for the elevator?
English man: No, I'm waiting for the lift.
American: It's an elevator.
English man: No. It's a lift.
American: It's an elevator, it elevates you.
English man: No, it doesn't :facepalm: It lifts you.
American: It's an American invention, we get to name it because we invented it.
English man: We invented the language. Fuck you.


Heh, was told this at 15 and nearly wet myself, but I'm a nerd.

I would but the honey moon to http://www.exoticretreat.net/info.html cannot be rebooked, damn I am good to my wife. You can be my lawyer at the eventual divorce, just bring a convincing forged certificate of you being a lawyer.

Well as your modern soldiers seem unable to shoot straight or recognize the enemy I dare say the result this time would be different.

You know parents here are now scared if their sons have to serve along side yanks?

To true, I remember a year ago it turned out an American plane shot down an English jet whcih was flying at supersonic speeds. How the fuck did this happen? it was miles after the initial 'war' which no Irawi planes were launched anyway and being supersonic it was obvious it was not a terrorist as they have nothing more than cessna's at best. I would rate my combined cadet force a better trained army that America and we had 13 year old kids in that with ADHD.

[jon-eli]

[...] just bring a convincing forged certificate of you being a lawyer.

What makes you think I don't have a real one, hmm? (Too much integrity, I suppose.)

[The English Gentleman]

No, no I totally felt you had one. I just thought it would be easier if you brought a fake one, that way if you spilt coffee on it it would not matter:rolleyes:

This thread demonstrates that all someone has to do to touch off a complete shit storm of idiocy is to make one little stupid thread that makes fun of one stupid little word that has an extra bit of European influence in the spelling.

What's the French translation for, "Get a sense of humor?"
