BREAKING: I JUST FOUND A GIF!

[Phox]

that's cool as hell.

It was until the Europeans fucked it all up at the end.

Whatever, languages evolve.  Even when the Europeans did it.

Dammit Phoxy, you're supposed to be in this thread, not me. 

I know fuck all about languages and you're my PD guide

Yeah, those letters aren't all necessarily related. The issue with the evolution of the alphabet is that it is cyclical. In the earliest languages, single letters stood for single sounds, but as languages evolved, certain letters began standing for multiple sounds. This of course started to get confusing, so U,W, and J were added to represent different pronunciations of "v" and consonantal "i" respectively. But language further evolved, and so further markings were added to indicate certain pronuciation, such as the cédille that indicates a soft "c" in French (except in front of certain vowels, when it is always soft).  Similarly, note the pronunciation of "j" as a soft "g" in some words, but as consonantal "i" in others, depending on the parent language.

In short, alphabets get more confusing as languages evolve, even when they are trying to become less confusing.

Or rather, because of a common alphabet across a series of distinct language families, we are fucked forever.

Bullshit.  Jesus invented the English language 2000 years ago, and it was perfect until the Europeans spagged it up.  Fortunately, we were able to contain the damage at the Canadian border.

I have a copy of the New Testament.

It is written IN ENGLISH, without all those fruity little symbols above the letters.

QED.  <--- That's a bit of Latin, which is what they spoke before Jesus fixed things.

I watched that thing for a good five minutes looking for the part where he breaks his face open.

Oh.  My.  GOD.

What?  Did you think we select our Police Officers for their intelligence? If having a brain was necessary for the job, no-one would apply for it. No, these men are specially picked for their lack of cognitive and social skills, and their unquestioning obedience and respect for the chain of command. If British Coppers were capable of thinking about things, they'd have thought about them already, and joined the Circus instead.

[Triple Zero]

These British coppers though? Also the door-kicking guy seems to be dressed in camouflage garb?

I can kinda sympathize, though. I mean why bother with the handle IF YOU CAN FUCKING KICK THE DOOR IN--except it's kinda important [for style] to actually succeed at it, of course.

Those aren't British Scuffers, (The badges and hats are wrong) but they obviously share their gene pool in some dark twisted way.

Oh jesus. I've been looking for one of those.
