A break from the HP wank courtesy of the wank report!
im_nucking_futs: The mouse wrote this up so well that I didn't have to embellish it.
Hey all - this is Takhys from Livejournal and this wank is a beauty. Snark, snark and more intelligent snark. GoogleGroups alt.language.latin (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
It starts out small with a comment by Jotapia on pronunciation: "Latin does not need any correct pronunciation."
...and then Agamemnon (his spelling) gets the wank up to full spoogy speed with: "Greek pronunciation has NOT changed one iota since the time of Homer! The Greek language is completely homogenous and has been that way for over 3000 years because Greeks understood from the very beginning that the letters of the Alphabet could only be pronounced in one way and one way only because they invented it." [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
He returns with a claim that he knows the history of the alphabet and psychiatry! [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
There is name calling, in english, greek, latin, and klingon (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
Capslock of RAGE returns! [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
John W. Kennedy attacks! -- Come to think of it, how does Aga-woo-woo account for the history of Greek-eta/Latin-aitch?[Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
Will Aggie take this sitting down? No. He uses his "great knowledge" and comes up with this: "EVERYONE in ancient Greece was fully literate and numerate. They were taught to read and write from the age of 7 up to the ages of 18 in places called schools. Even poor farmers like Hesiod could read and write and people were expected to read notices posted on bill boards and read aloud from books." [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
That is one tangled family tree: "DNA research has proven that ALL Greeks are genetically identical." [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
The first comment about "the master race!" - [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
"As for Sophia Loren, she can actually sing better in Greek than Melina Mercuri ever did with no noticeable accent whatsoever, which proves my point that Latin was spoken exactly like modern Greek." [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
What wank wouldn't be complete without an invocation of Goodwin's Law? [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
...and Doctor Who? [Link] (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/al
...and the wank keeps growing. (http://www.livejournal.com/~takhys
