KB's contribution to the world.

[Sniper]

Linguists say that there are anywhere between 4000 to 10000 langauges spoken throughout the known world. I was just thinking that they could add at least another 3 from Kiwibiker.

For example. We have the original KB lingo consisting of words such as "sprotbike", "gargre", "praking" and such like.

Then we have the English with no punctuation, langauge spoken by such people as Hondacmx450 and a couple of others.

We also have the over punctuation langauge spoken by Brian_de_Marge which seems to consist of scrambled letters mixed with commas.

And how can we forget Wari's own invented langauge. Crossed between a drunken slur and the Aussie outback, you don't get much better (or confused) than him!

So with all these langauges being spoken around here, its quite clear on why there are a few of us going out of our minds. But at the end of the day, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Rock on KB :Punk:

You're just itchin for trouble aye mate. Should have gone to the Cold Kiwi cause HondaCMX450 was there.

Is it a 'mordern' bike?

[Biff]

Is it a 'mordern' bike?

A mordern sprots jraper.

[Sniper]

A "jraper" thats a new one

[Phurrball]

Ahh yes...

KB is the bleeding edge of linguistic evolution...

(Phurrball hopes that some of the mutations seen here are deleterious and soon to disappear from the meme-pool):devil2:

Now, where was that thread housing the uber-pedants...(Cringes at inability to figure out how to produce an umlaut in KB post...The shame...)

[Hitcher]

Put the cap back on the bottle. Nothing to see here. Move along.

And that is meant to mean?

[Posh Tourer :P]

To get an umlaut look on the keymap in your accessories menu - should give you an Alt + 0176 type code (that one is °, 0178 is ². Very useful two to remember...)

[Sniper]

A new language just in is Biffs. I notice often a vowel can be throw in halfway through a word to make it that must more pronounced.

[Hitcher]

A new langauge just in is Biffs.
Langauge. Used for measuring the relative lengths of syllables...

[Sniper]

Woops, thanks Hitcher, post duely edited.

[James Deuce]

"duely"???

Gaahhhhhhhh!!!!

Lack of umlaut = perils of windoze machine at work. Easier to achieve on my Powerbook: 'Option + U' followed by vowel of choice.

[Sniper]

"duely"???

Gaahhhhhhhh!!!!

Queens english may say duly, but when written down it can also be spelt as Duely.

[James Deuce]

You're making that up, you bloody Sth. African.

Gahhhhh!!!

Don't make me send the Ninjas.

NINJA!

[Sniper]

You're making that up, you bloody Sth. African.

Gahhhhh!!!

Don't make me send the Ninjas.

NINJA!

Am not making it up, but at the threat of a ninja I believe you and apologise for being wrong.

[Hitcher]

That was never five minutes just then...

[MSTRS]

Queens english may say duly, but when written down it can also be spelt as Duely.
Suppose you can say the apostrophe and capital you've dropped in the typing of "Queens' (or Queen's) English...." :moon: :innocent:

[Sniper]

Its not the "Queen is" so where is the apostrophe meant to go?

[James Deuce]

It's a possessive apostrophe. It indicates that English belongs to the Queen.

[jrandom]

It's a possessive apostrophe.

damned apostrophe's, never sharing with the other puncutations.

[yungatart]

You're making that up, you bloody Sth. African.

Gahhhhh!!!

Don't make me send the Ninjas.

NINJA!
Or the Spanish Inqiusiition... nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

[MSTRS]

Apoplexy is being considered in view of the permutations of grammar and spelling of the above

[Hitcher]

The BDOTGNZA Hit Squad is sharpening the bamboo stakes and is presently about to deploy. First stop? Those amongst us who should know better...

[jrandom]

We have the original KB lingo consisting of words such as "sprotbike"...

fool. original my ass.

'sprotbike' has been in use on uk.rec.motorcycles for bloody years. wouldnt be surprised if it was a direct import.

oh, look. a search function.

first use of the phrase 'sprotbike' on kiwibker (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=9026&highlight=sprotbike#post9026)

first use on ukrm (http://groups.google.co.nz/group/rec.motorcycles/browse_thread/thread/56735e2848743168/908deef6efea02f9?lnk=st&q=sprotbike+group:uk.rec.motorcycles&rnum=39&hl=en#908deef6efea02f9)

now stop plagiarising.

[Sniper]

I was not plagiarising and I was not aware of other UK motorcycle forums as I don't care for much outside of New Zealand.

As the threat of the BDOTGNZA hit squad, I refuse to flail the english langauge further.

for health of brain, dear readers, best not to think too hard about that sentence.

ah, gargre (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=51278&highlight=gargre#post51278). looks like kb gots that one sewn up.

praking (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=306253&highlight=prak#post306253), however (http://www.bookstore.washington.edu/pop.taf?subject=map&dept=popoffs&category=map_pop&map=mainpkgmap)... probably a bit too common to claim as your own.

Thank you Ms Fish. I may never be any good at certain games, but at least I can try to make people laugh.
