...uh, Orth, English is European too, just in case you forgot. on and Cerb, it wouldn't be fair if you were both the same. It's fun when there's conflicting personalities. Otherwise we'd all love each other, how screwed would that be? D:

Wow, the friendly, informal greeting literally means, "To your health, guys"? Well, that sure beats the hell out of "Hey, (insert friend's name), what's up?" My greetings have been put to shame.

Hm, well, we have sayings that don't translate well to other European languages. BUT, I must admit, sayings in the languages of the old world are much better. (Probably, because they said them. )

Well not really because in modern Russian we don't even realize it really. When you say 'Zdarova' it would literally (As in 'Old Russian') mean To your health. However, these days we just hear it as "Hey." English itself is an amazingly fluid and beautiful language if you look at the more archaic forms of dialogue from the past centuries. Sadly in the modern world the use of language is severely lacking. I blame cell phones and the digital era personally... These days a lover will never hear a man compliment her in the fashion of, "Your beauty rivals that of the Mother Earth herself." Instead we get, "Wassup bitch?" Lovely, isn't it?

I blame over sexed EVERYTHING. There's much more emphasis on the getting it, than how you get there, now adays. It's rather pathetic, but, there are some of us who don't make English want to roll over and slit its own throat.

Cerberus, I believe you have the longest and most popular 'Hello everyone' thread in the history of everything. Or, at least, in the past few months on this board. Congratulations.

Wow, this is an interesting one. Welcome aboard Cerb. Good to see more of us to fill the ranks.
The ensuing conflicts will be amusing I'd hope.

Pfft. Canada thinking it has it's own language. Next you're going to think you're real people.
Bah, I say.
On a side note, welcome. I don't actually frequent anymore, and may have actually shattered several realities by posting more than once in the span of six months.
Enjoy the stay.

lthough for the most part, Orth and I tend to be the type of siblings who spend their lives attempting to kill the other off. Mainly, so that we can conquer the entire world instead of only half of it. Is it just me, or can anyone else see that as a reality? Meh, everyone does - even us English. I can't understand what some people say to me on a daily basis, they're using that much slang and nonsense. Anyway, welcome to the board Cerberus, usually this is the part where we tell you to stay in line, and ask the Mods for help, but if you're anything like your brother I highly doubt you need it. Still, if brotherly pride (or destructive competitiveness) stops you asking Orthrus for help, you can always request help and advice from E-Hitler, E-Cortez, Michael, me or any of the other G-Mods or Mods that frequent the forum. But I imagine you already knew that... Oh, and if he's not too busy staring at Sheva Alomar's arse (good strong English word), you could always ask The General ;D.

You can ask, at your own risk.
I have a lot of unanswered messages.
Personally, more interested in Jill's. Needs to be shown more.
