[Hayate]

I am everywhere and nowhere all at once...

[Turaiel]

I am currently winning the game.

[Neutral Smith]

You just lost the game.

Driving through Boston at rush hour is a bit like NASCAR with lower speeds and no contact allowed: Cars jockeying for position, arguments over who has the right of way during maneuvers, racing bumper to bumper mere inches from guardrails at death-defying speeds... And the thrill of feeling all four tires let loose when you haven't two feet to spare.

Inspired by Jacob62, since I saw he was on recently.

That is another reason i prefer the Bus.
On top of that most people where I live are only barely aware of how a car is supposed to be operated and thus drive like [explicit]

[Bellhead]

Technic, you do know how the forum censor works, right? It bleeps things out for you. It's pretty cool [censored]. (yes, that was an example.)

Note: There's a setting to turn it on and off for you in the user control panel. I forget where, though...

[Technic[Bot]]

Of course I know. It is one of the first thing i disabled when I joined as I have no problem with profanity and it made some of the stuff on the writers alley Story Board almost impossible to read.
But I do not like cursing myself, at least not in English, so If i feel some strong words are needed I use them but I censor myself out.

Besides I think it is funny!

[Bellhead]

Also true...

Hey Hayate, does the censor work in other languages too, or just English?

[Neutral Smith]

Let's try it.

Godverdomme.

[Bellhead]

Just checked, and no. Whatever that was, did not get caught. Might want to edit before the mods see it.

[Neutral Smith]

It's just a request aimed at a god to damn me.

In English the request will be aimed at 'it'.

In both cases something went wrong, and the person or item has already been cursed.

If you want to pronounce it you really have to use a very hard Dutch 'G', and it's often said in a sentence with a lot of hard 'G' words.

This comes back to an old philosophical question.

I you insult someone but no mod understands it. Will you still get banned for it?

Answering myself: yes you should get a formal reprimand, but it is gonna be damn hard to enforce. There is a lot of cultural variance in insults and cursing. I once heard calling a german dude "ugly pig" will likely lead you to a fist figth.

Also for the record I do not like cursing in Spanish either. But I statistically I do curse more in my mother language

[Bellhead]

It would make more sense for a person to curse in a language they are more comfortable with, given the level of emotion typically associated with using them.

As an interesting side note I cannot do math but in Spanish. From Simple arithmetics to calculus I have do switch to Spanish. I wonder of that is just me or if it happens for other people who know more than. One language?

[Bellhead]

Math in and of itself is based solely on numbers, less you have a word problem or the like. It's basically the Arabic base-10 numbering system, with A through Z variables and exponents and parentheses. I'm not even sure how it would be translated.

N2+5N+4=(N+4)*(N+1),
4N2+17N+4=(4N+1)*(N+4).

Numbers are their own language.

EDIT:
That took way longer than it should have to type out...
