I was just going over the accents that LR had used in that last phrase in Spanish. Don't worry, I'm well aware of how to use accents in French.cheez.wiz wrote:And just how often do you use that í in french?LordRetard wrote:Well I don't use a foreign keyboard because I barely know English, even, I've memorised all of the alt-codes for Spanish. It's that I can't access them without turning on num-lock, which disables part of the keyboard for it. It's extremely inconvenient. And apparently alt+fn doesn't work on this laptop. Hopefully I just fix my internet soon.smiley_cow wrote:I know the feeling. Personally I use alt+fn+numbers for accents when I type in French. for example alt+fn+133=à, 130=é, 161=í etc...
It takes a while to memorize but once you got it down it saves so much time, and it's so much simpler than using a French keyboard.
Cause, you know, you might be doing something wrong, FYI.

Guano is a noun. Also, adjectives don't modify adjectives (except in German! Viel verrückt!).mountainmage wrote:I'm gonna under-logic and suggest that batshit is an adjective also, and a modifier of crazy.

Re: Guano Loco Nostalgia Time with Drakken: Power Rangers
What about "Bright red balloon" ? Bright is modifying red.
Also, I know guano is a noun in Spanish, but he clearly censored the English slang term "batshit" by making it Spanish.

Re: Guano Loco Nostalgia Time with Drakken: Power Rangers
I'd handle "bright red balloon" using the same morphological trees we used to form compounds.
Now, I'm too lazy to actually make one, but it would work something like this:
red is a noun (which is possible)
bright is an adjective
Together, they'd form the noun, "bright red".
Which becomes a single adjective when it is re-analyzed and compared to "red". That is, it is a compound adjective (compare: "a balloon that is the colour red that happens to be bright" with "a balloon that is the colour bright red"). This behaviour is common, especially in English, where words are often taken from one lexical category and used in others.
One problem:

Guano's a noun in English, too.

1. How is "bright red" a noun? Unless you're referring to a smart commie. It doesn't make sense.LordRetard wrote:red is a noun (which is possible)

2. Again...I was not referring to actual guano, I was referring to the slang American adjective "batshit".

I like to think of it as the French Canadian equivalent of Newfoundlander English.

Yes it does. But since I can't find a good example I'll just give you this:mountainmage wrote:1. How is "bright red" a noun? Unless you're referring to a smart commie. It doesn't make sense
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bright
Bright can be an adverb. Surprise!
Well, fair enough.mountainmage wrote:2. Again...I was not referring to actual guano, I was referring to the slang American adjective "batshit".

Re: Guano Loco Nostalgia Time with Drakken: Power Rangers
Yeah but not when referring to the color red. It's not being red "in a bright manner", it's just a bright shade of red. Surprise!
