I did the same with Dutch at that age

Haha, it doesn't matter that much though, because I like learning new words (that I'll probably never use, but still) but I don't always have a dictionary at hand.

You're on a computer.

Or ask. I do know what I'm saying, minor as that may be.

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 03:06 PM

Yeah, I always keep forgetting that you have on line dictionaries these days. I was raised to look it up in a paper version. Ah, the good old days

I dont butter my parsnips anyway. I eat 'em condiment free. Like a MAN.

I had Brutus RIGHT THERE. Come on. I roused him just for you and this is the thanks I get? Pshhh.

I love my electronic dictionary. It's got everything in it!

YOU, sir, have never had a parsnip, buttered or otherwise.

Verily, for I say unto thee that if I had it would have been free fom the burden of butter. As it is commanded -"Thou shalt NOT sully the parsnip with thine butter, for it is forbidden. Thus sayeth I, the MAN."

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-31-2008, 03:22 PM

You are a heathen, old son.

Nautipus · 03-31-2008, 03:23 PM

Yes, I am. It is a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless.

They do look good...

The MAN? *bursts out laughing* Oh wait... you weren't serious were you? *wipes tears from eyes* Sorry, I am was ehm... laughing with you, not at you.

Katya, I have an electronic one too for Japanese (and 2 very heavy paper ones) but it is out of batteries right now. Which sucks because I need it for a grammar check. Maybe you can help: それをもって what is the grammatical meaning of wo motte? Something like "keeping that in mind"?

Parsnips are good.

And I'm tired.

*Nautipus throws a shrimp the size of a small dog at Mari. As she clumsily tries to pull the clinging creature form her, Brutus stampedes from the Aquarium, hungry and looking for shrimp-flesh*

(or maybe parsnips

)

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 03-31-2008, 03:29 PM

*Sas holds fire and presses the switch agian, making the water cannons go back under the teacup* There. I've stopped.....for now.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-31-2008, 03:31 PM

Why tired, Curu?

**Mari** · 03-31-2008, 03:31 PM

Oh, shrimps AND butter? Hmmm. Oh well, I was told that butter and fishoil are good for the skin. Brutus, you can have this shrimp and the ones Nauti is hiding if you take it off of me nicely. I'll even tell you where his secret stack is. Deal?

Do you have any more context? I don't actually know the answer though, I'd just be going by feeling.

By the way, I have two small paper Japanese dictionaries I bought in America, two huge ones I got in Japan, and one more huge kanji dictionary also from Japan. But they're all useless since I have the Casio one.

EDIT: Sis, you forget the / in the last IMG bracket

Unfortunately for you the shrimp is still clinging to life and....well...you. And Brutus is STAMPEDEING. Mostly because I took this one out of his tank while he was eating, and he thinks that whatever hits the water belongs to HIM and HIM ALONE.
