The word order in latin is pretty loose. I’d probably say Celeritas sum to make it similar to Cogito ergo sum. However, like other romance languages you don’t need the subject. You can just say Am speed and the declensions tell you who is the subject. Saying ego a lot, just like saying yo in spanish a lot, can make you seem egotistical.

American english is my first language and those all sounded spot on for all the regions she did. Even her french sounded great.

And just when you think you understand how to spell in french they throw some other weird rule at you.
- Comment on Where there people in the 1980's who refused to call 3.5" floppy disks floppy disks? 2 weeks ago:
The disc inside is still round though. Did you never crack one open to see?
- Comment on Please, feel free to be awed by my cosmopolitan refinement 2 weeks ago:
Probably because english has a bunch of french words we do this for because of our legacy with courtly french. Entree is another example.

The t is silent. The end sound is a nasal n so more like kwah–sahn with the final n being very nasal and soft.
I actually find the french r to be super difficult though. Way the hell back in the throat where letters aren’t supposed to be formed.
- Comment on Anyone know what's on my hot pepper leaves? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone is saying aphids but those look more like thrips to me. Same way to get of them though. Physical removal of the eggs and a good plant soap should get rid of them.

Did he hit the wall behind the holy of holies with his sword? That’s how Michael Zaki hides things so it makes sense that yahweh might hide stuff like that too.

I really love the roman female naming conventions. “We have the family name with a feminine ending or we have a number.”

Play a game with a proper

What does that have to do with the price of tea in china?
My original comment said gravity knives are considered switchblades in many jurisdictions. Politicians being morons doesn’t change that fact.
- Comment on My country's police just busted a dangerous 3d printed weapons manufacturer. 5 months ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade
A switchblade (also known as switch knife, automatic knife, pushbutton knife, ejector knife, flick knife, gravity knife , flick blade, or spring knife)
Like I said, many jurisdictions consider gravity knives to be switchblades.
- Comment on My country's police just busted a dangerous 3d printed weapons manufacturer. 5 months ago:
Gravity knives are considered switchblades in many jurisdictions.They aren’t spring assisted switchblades. They are gravity assisted hence the name. Switchblade just means any knife you open with a switch or button. Don’t take my word for it though, go read the first line of the wikipedia page on switchblades.
In any case, they’re no more dangerous than your standard folding knives of the same general proportions.
Often they are less dangerous since they can fail to deploy (especially an OTF spring assisted switchblade). I had a sweet benchmade switchblade when I was in the army but alas it got lost at some point. That knife was the best for one handed box cutting.
- Comment on My country's police just busted a dangerous 3d printed weapons manufacturer. 5 months ago:
Often even unassisted switchblades are illegal. They’re called gravity knives.

Trump and his ilk making ill advised not well thought out decisions that fuck over his voters. Name a more iconic duo.
- Comment on US farmers say Trump’s $12bn package not enough to undo damage from tariffs 6 months ago:
Do you need a math degree to figure out that $40 billion in trade losses is not offset by $11 billion in subsidies?
The problem is these inbred hicks will still fucking vote R when it comes to the next election. It’s a team sport to them and they can’t seem to understand their own team is hurting them the most.
- Comment on Donald Trump scores 'F' grade on economy: Poll 6 months ago:
Are you telling me that a man with his own page on wikipedia called Businesses of Donald Trump that went bankrupt doesn’t know how to run an economy? Quel surprise!
- Comment on FACT FOCUS: Trump says tariffs can eventually replace federal income taxes. Experts disagree 7 months ago:
Treasury Department data shows that revenue from individual income taxes was approximately $2.66 trillion out of about $5.23 trillion in total revenue. Corporation income taxes added approximately $452 billion.
Man, companies really should be paying more.
