So here i was watching the olympic opening on telly when......

[Ctuchik]

all of the sudden i saw Bjork singing one of her "songs" and thought, what the fark was she WEARING!??!! looked like shed been wrapping herself with alot of conforters (quilts) fgs... :/

imo she totally ruined that opening

and no, it doesent even fit in the "daring cool look" category...

 

[Sissyfoo]

She needs to shot, pushed off a cliff, harpooned, err...shot again and then beaten into an unrecognizable purple paste.

She SUCKS so much ass!

 

[Decuder]

woke up at 5am couldn't get back to sleep... long day... decided that i'd watch the whole opening ceremony to get my sleep pattern back to normal...

as soon as Bjork came on i decided fuck that and went to bed...

woke up a 4am today

 

[Sissyfoo]

I usually get up at 5:30am-ish now. Have been doing so since I got back from my holidays almost 3 weeks ago. Tried to fight it but now I just go with the flow. Quite peaceful at that time of the morning.

 

[Tilda]

One thing I noticed was when they were doing the vows of honour, then were speaking the translations, and for the french one, they used english "blah blah blah fair play blah blah" Do the french not have a word for fair play?

[Tasslehoff]

Danes also say fair play, dunno why. Maybe it's just a nice word?

 

[Ctuchik]

there isnt any languages thats 100% "unique" every language have alot of words "borrowed" or slightly twisted from other languages, mainly because they were to bloody lazy to come up with something of their own

 

[Overdriven]

What is the proportion of English words of French, Latin, or Germanic origin?

It is very hard to make this estimate, particularly as many words reached English, for example, from Latin by way of Norman French. However, the result of a computerized survey of roughly 80,000 words in the old Shorter Oxford Dictionary (3rd edition) was published in Ordered Profusion by Thomas Finkenstaedt and Dieter Wolff (1973). They reckoned the proportions as follows:

* Latin, including modern scientific and technical Latin: 28.24%
* French, including Old French and early Anglo-French: 28.3%
* Old and Middle English, Old Norse, and Dutch: 25%
* Greek: 5.32%
* No etymology given: 4.03%
* Derived from proper names: 3.28%
* All other languages contributed less than 1%

(Oxford Dictionary).

The are more words in Modern English coming from the french language than words coming from the Old English language...

Old English text (before 1066's french invasion) :

Hæbbe ic gefrugnen þætte is feor heonan
eastdælum on æþelast londa,
firum gefræge. Nis se foldan sceat
ofer middangeard mongum gefere
gehealden stod hreora wæga,
eadig, unwemme, þurh est godes;
bideð swa geblowen oð bæles cyme,
dryhtnes domes, þonne deaðræced,
hæleþa heolstorcofan, onhliden weorþað.

Inc Aeoeoeoeemieieoeo for his obligitory "I wub Byerk, she is so amaaaaaaaaaazing. I just wish she knew I was alive. I'm such a fuckwit."

I wish Bjork would die in real life. Horribly fucking horribly. She is evil and her music is the proof.


Disclaimer: Don't hit me, I've just given up smoking. I'm not to blame. The jury would acquit me! You know it makes sense!

If we are mostly speaking French then why is it that the French Government tries so hard to stop your media using English. 'Le Weekend' anyone! ;-)

"its ok love - i dont think everyone from every country in the world was watching - i think some might have gone to the toilet"
