hows going now

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm sure they are going okay. Let them go along quietly. They will tell us when they are finished.

this never finished in ages

Asking us "are we there yet?" won't get us there faster.

[Cobra]

How about "Are the fires lit yet" then?

[docfu]

Just on a side note I'd really like to know where the English "How's going?" comes from. It seems to be appearantly misunderstood as "cool" and "casual" in Japan.

"How's it going?" always seemed normal to me. On the other hand, people who say "How's going?" generally weren't worth talking to...

I don't think woulter is using an expression to achieve an effect moreso that he is not a native English speaker.

You have to get used to it. It is a big mod, and they need time to finish. Any big thing takes time to finish. You know that.

I sincerely meant that as a teacher I am trying to figure out why exactly non-natives make that mistake. Someone somewhere left out an "it" and it's been replicating unchecked for years...

We will definitely not finish by this summer, but we are still making good progress.

I think that in whatever his native language is, they dont use the "it" word in that sentence, but only say something like "how is going?". Then he just translates that word by word.

Apparently you're an expert in Dutch.

Before Thanksgiving then?

Dutch resembles English enough that we do use the "it". It's really just wouter's English.

This is true. On any kind of trip.
But, when said trip is 6-7 years the question makes more sense. Since all the other questions yield the same kind, "you asked us, why yes we still post here in this part of hlp" answer.

"Are we there yet?" is the same as "how much longer will it take us to get there". After 6-7 years, it's an alright question to ask. In this case, i wouldn't interpret it as the person asking trying to get you there faster at all; it's a question about progress left to be made.

As far as anyone else is concerned, i dub and retitle the remake of infr1 INFERNO FOREVER
