    So you were mean. because he didn´t use any commas, but do you know what ? I can´t figure out those commas out either.

    No, I thought his last paragraph was cool, and that's about it. Despite it being cool, it was Engrish, not proper English. You can't infer intent from my quoting or my post really, so let it die:p

    Well WDK, technically you use a weird syntax, but correct times and plural/singular etc. Plus, Engrish needs to contain some "zen" meaning, if you know what I mean.

    to get many good examples go to www.engrish.com

    What I have noticed is that glossologically, many languages if translated directly into English sound "odd". This can be verified if you translate some japanese text for example, in one of those online interpreter applications.

    A native example is the greek expression "siga t auga" or in english, "slow the eggs" (meaning Big Deal/so what) - weird, but not quite Engrish !

    Barc0de, the syntax I use. Is probably because I almost write like I speak. or vice versa. But the important part is, to be understood. And that is one of those things I try hard to do. But my English is weird .

    Could you two take the "engrish" thing to a different thread please? This one is for bashing Shadowlayer and Apple. :icon_bigg

    Could take it one step further and start looking into the Jonathan Ive / Deiter Rams of Braun link, (http://gizmodo.com/343641/1960s-braun-products-hold-the-secrets-to-apples-future if you're interested) then ninty are the tertiary designers.

    The 'iGame' / 'iPlay Touch' / 'iSuck' whatever the hell it is / could be - I'm guessing it'd be ARM Based, multi touch, hey another fucking iphone, without the phone, this time, without an ipod. I love apple, but you know, you keep reinventing the fucking wheel and before you know it your cult starts to see the light without the intervention of a robo-speaking sky-video gang trying to break you free. :noooo:

    Bad idea, I pray that this is just something thrown in to confuse the other market players... even then, to what gain?

    In other news, Google patent an open source toaster platform, probably just as useful.

    After I saw this I have to say that it makes an impresion on me. It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, but its worth of watch.
