Post by: Nuke on May 31, 2005, 06:36:57 am: so who likes my smiley?
Title: "turrent"
Post by: Nuclear1 on May 31, 2005, 06:48:26 am: You even misspelled "turret+n" (three r's in the link :p )

It's pretty cool though.

Post by: Nuke on May 31, 2005, 06:50:52 am: i was just making fun of the turrent craze and thought id give a smiley for those who can actually spell turret. as for the misspelling, well its the only way my smiley would show instead of breaking my url.

as for the turret itself

all in all i wasted 5 hours on this, made the whole thing from scratch. the only thing i used were the barrel assemblys, which i had left over ffrom vwep testing.

Oh you'd be surprised...there are pages of people talking about "turrents" and no matter how much I made fun of them they'd keep spelling it like nothing was wrong.

They are adding an extra letter to a word that doesn't have it...its doing MORE work to type it out. People aren't usually prone to doing more work to be less correct :)

But it's still easier to spell turret. You don't have to go down to the downer row of your keyboard.

You read my mind.

Anyway, the smiley that appears whenever you use the "alternate" spelling is funny.

That pronunciation is used by at least a third of the people in Congress. It's practically the official Washington pronunciation of "nuclear".

On a side note, Ivanova also said "nucular" in one episode of Babylon 5.

Lo que pasa es que yo tan poco soy ingles, me entiendes?

By the way, you guys know what a cloaca is, in my tongue? You aproach a cow from behind, lift the cow´s tail, and look. What you see there, is what we call a cloaca.
:lol:
Title: "turrent"
Post by: karajorma on June 02, 2005, 04:01:03 pm: That's what it means in English too. At least for reptiles and birds it does. Never heard the term used for a cow before.
Title: "turrent"
Post by: NGTM-1R on June 02, 2005, 07:29:33 pm: That's because it shouldn't be.

Cloaca is a combined refuse ejection system for both solid and liquid waste.

Post by: karajorma on June 03, 2005, 03:05:52 am: And the genitals too for that matter. I've never been interested enough in cow genitals to know for certain whether or not a cow had one but I suspected it shouldn't :D
