♣ 006 [ video ]

[ Today, Junpei is wearing a super serious face. Whatever's on his mind, it's got to be deep. ]

Hey, uh, I have something to say.

[ Brief pause as he gathers his thoughts. Brace yourselves for it, Johto; it might be too heavy for you to handle. ]

Have you ever thought about how weird it is that "nonplussed" is a word....but "plussed" isn't? I mean, it ( Read more... )

english is weird, !ic, ♣character: clover, ♣character: seven, &location; goldenrod, #006, ♣character: alexi, handwaving this past conversation, waiting for the inevitable "minused" pun, feeling so plussed right now, ♣character: wally west, ♣character: chosokabe motochika, serious business, ♣character: little mac, thinking hard or hardly thinking

That's a good question. Maybe it's foreign?

... Maybe I should ask Rael... this seems like something he would know about.

Foreign? I didn't think about that.

If you know someone who might know, though, that might be helpful.

It doesn't sound that foreign, admittedly... but who knows?

Well, Rael's pretty into studying languages... this would be the kind of thing he would get a kick out of, I think.

I don't know really....much at all about words, so it's possible, I guess.

It was just something I was wondering about.

It is really strange, though... I mean, what would you be if you were plussed?

( video ) hewhosurvives July 29 2011, 04:43:28 UTC

Not confused, I guess? Like....cool, not bothered, and all.

... I guess that wouldn't be a very useful word, then. I mean... if you weren't confused, there wouldn't be anything to say about it...

( video ) hewhosurvives July 30 2011, 05:27:52 UTC

But I guess it's like....if something confusing happened, but you were strangely unaffected, you'd be plussed.

I don't know, I think it could work...

Only in certain circumstances, though... languages are confusing.

Tell me about it. I never was all that great in English....

( video ) reaccepts July 31 2011, 02:30:41 UTC

Me neither. I'm more of a science type.

( video ) hewhosurvives August 2 2011, 04:37:27 UTC

Science isn't too bad, I guess. I'm a math guy.

( video ) reaccepts August 3 2011, 01:02:20 UTC

Ah... I'm not very good at math myself.

I like it because it's simple. There's only one answer to a problem, you know? Either it's right or it's wrong.

( video ) reaccepts August 4 2011, 01:47:52 UTC

That's also the challenge, though, isn't it? There's only one answer. It's inflexible.

( video ) hewhosurvives August 4 2011, 04:32:45 UTC

I like that, though. Open-ended questions leave too much room.
