[PLightstar]

Thats insane, just started with Minecraft and something of that size has never entered into my head, thought my 10 story castle was impressive.

 

[Scouse]

Remember kiddies. Some people can obsess farrrr too much. I'd never go tho those extremes but I didn't buy it 'cause of the timesink* possibilities.

Looks fucking kewl tho





*Instead, I went and spunked 30 quid on CIV5. Got less than two hours sleep last night when I finally turned my laptop off at 6:30am. And I was "definately" not going to buy it.

Yes, I'm a fucking retard

Its visually impressive but he didn't build it by himself. He scanned deck blueprints, and ported them into Minecraft deck by deck.

Got a few people at work hooked on this so started a SMP server, but it's not much fun without mob damage.

My favourite part is at 15 seconds where he lets us know that 'Math is important'

 

[Scouse]

I found it really very cool (in a geeky way) apart from one thing that always ruins this sort of thing for me: I hate the fact that americans call it "math".

IT'S FUCKING MATHS!

It's not "mathematic" it's "mathematics". Jeesus fucking christ. I fucking hate it so much. So much...

"Is “math” or “maths” the correct word to use as the shortened or colloquial form of the word mathematics? The answer is that it depends on where you are.

To North American speakers of English, the word to use is “math”, as in “I majored in math”, and “maths” would sound wrong. Speakers of British English, however, would always say “maths”, as in “I took a degree in maths”. They would never say “math”.

There are logical arguments for both spellings. The word “mathematics” can be considered as a singular and as a plural noun. Both the Oxford and the Merriam-Webster dictionaries say the word is plural – hence the s on the end – but also that it is usually used as if it was a singular noun. So, most people would say “mathematics is my best subject” and not “mathematics are my best subject”. The shortened form “maths”, then, makes sense because the word is still a plural noun and so should still have the “s” on the end. On the other hand, it could be argued, “math” makes sense because it seems wrong to remove the letters “ematic” from the middle of the word and leave the final “s”.

There are a number of other plural nouns that are used as if they were singular – for example economics, ethics, politics, gymnastics, measles and dominoes. These words, however, are not habitually shortened, making math/maths rather an unusual word.

It’s sometimes surprising how much argument and disagreement small differences such as that single letter can make. Readers in the UK, for example, sometimes get very upset if someone writes “math” rather than “maths”. No doubt the reverse is true in the US. In practice, it’s simply worth being aware of the geographical differences so that you can use the correct form of the word in your writing."

I disagree with the above:

"Is “math” or “maths” the correct word to use as the shortened or colloquial form of the word mathematics? The answer is that it depends on where you are.

No. It doesn't matter where the fuck you are:

To North American speakers of English, the word to use is “math”, as in “I majored in math”, and “maths” would sound wrong. Speakers of British English, however, would always say “maths”, as in “I took a degree in maths”. They would never say “math”.

Yank's do not speak "English" and the English "British English".

Yanks speak bad English.

The clue is in the name of the country - England - not FatRetardLand.


Fuck yanks and their shitty attempt to claim our language as their own. If they want to continue down this shitty path they should call their language American - it'd suit their collective ego down to the ground anyway and sit nicely alongside their belief that they "won the war" for us, that everywhere else on the planet is a third world country and that mass physical abuse of their teenage population's teeth in the name of nothing more than vanity is worth it.

I wonder if the spanish have the same kind of intolerance to mexicans

 

[Shagrat]

I wonder if the spanish have the same kind of intolerance to mexicans

I think they just leave that to the Americans as well.

Anyone with an unreasonable dislike of the letter U is clearly wrong.

Americans are wrong.
