Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
It's a longstanding tradition to boogy in celebration every time a new RB thread starts. The mods try and discourage it, but that just gives it underground appeal :P

Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
Be extremely careful with Wikipedia as a source. If I was to copy-paste Wikipedia into anything I wrote for University, I would lose marks for using an unreliable source, and in case I didn't put in any references to the source, a warning for plagiarism, which is considered cheating, even if done in good faith.
Given, Uni is a few floors above anything I've gone through so far in terms of seriosity when it comes to references, but it's worth noting that the scientific value of Wikipedia ends pretty soon after the use as a springboard for deeper studies and a reference work to (hopefully) more reliable studies.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
Yay! Er, I mean, yay. I guess I haven't completely forgotten my GCSE French from 7 years ago.
I am greatly saddened by your lack of even a webcam, but if you can get your friend to take photos, that'd be great.
Not enough. You don't talk enough.
At least, not to us.
...and here is where I run into the gaps in my French vocab. Acheter, prendre, enleve, crotter... I do not know what these words mean.
And again. I got more of this, but I don't know tomber or inquiétez.
From what I know of Jeeves, I can actually see how that comparison could be made.
Edit @Heliomance: The mods don't discourage the boogie, they discourage posts which contain nothing but the boogie. Posts should have some content other than *actions*. It's even in the RB rules.Last edited by Thufir; 2011-10-21 at 05:03 PM.

Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
And "enleve" should be "abduct", in case its meaning is the same as the Swedish word (which most likely is borrowed from the french), and my dictionary doesn't lie to me (because I would have used a slightly different meaning if I used the Swedish one).
Not really, no. You can use Wikipedia in the task of finding good sources, but a Wikipedia article itself usually lacks enough coverage in its references to be completely reliable. Add to that the fact that anyone may edit a page, and thus add something to a paragraph that wasn't in the reference cited by it. If you delve so deep into Wikipedia's references that you can tell that everything is reliable and that nothing in the Wikipedia article isn't taken from them, you're better off referencing the references instead.Last edited by Teddy; 2011-10-21 at 02:09 PM.

Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
WOOHOO
None of my teachers assigned homework in the last two days except for my English teacher, and I did all four assignments given by her last night. In other words, I have no homework. I cannot even remember last time I had that in this school year. I think never. Now I can relax fully, and have more time for trying to find out the notebook errors I made according to my teacher. I feel great!Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man! Even all the witty self referencing sigs are gone now!

Re: Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170
No, don't use Wikipedia for anything truly scientific. Citing one source and claiming that you cited another (you phrased it as if reading Wikipedias sources wasn't neccessary for citing them) is just as bad as making up information. Sure, it's a good way to get a grasp on something, and to check your sources against for any obvious differences, but Wikipedia isn't a source to base any of your information on. In other words: when you get down to business, Wikipedia is a non-source.

There is a medical practitioner by the name of Dr. Slaughter; did he fulfil nominative determinism or avert it in spectacular fashion?

I love him!
Really? I thought you went to your school.
ION: Okay, checked my grades. Out of all my classes, six, I have A's in five, and a B+ in English, which was because of the acursed notebook lowering my grade average from 92.something to 88.something.Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man!
