Copy cats

[SupremeDorian]

This is a quote from a sharp fellow that goes by the name of Charlie Indelico

Ah.

 

[Altaïr]

Haha, so true
But the french language may hold the title in terms of irregularities.
For example, maybe you know that unlike in english, all common names in french have a gender: masculine or feminine. The french word for rocket is feminine, while engine is masculine for example. Which leads to strange situations sometimes: testicle is feminine, and ovary is masculine...
But the most funny is that there are 3 words that are masculine in the singular, and feminine in the plural! Even french people generally ignore this, but this is true!
We love complex rules and weird exceptions in french

Welsh,you changeletters due to what letter's before it, and where you roll 'r' in some, and have double letters, but only the first is capital, you then also have rules on how to reply to questions whether it is 'oes' - 'nac oes' 'ydy'-'nac ydy' or 'ye' 'na' then theres the phrasing of questions... not being welsh and saying welsh words can be hard though, try saying Llanelli, Caerdydd or Mynydd Y Garreg

I've heard that even people who speak welsh natively hate welsh

Yup, i know quite a few native Welsh people discuss their disgust of the language regularly, i think that (with young people at least) that the government is putting too much of a push on the language

I love how the thread turned due to 3 french guys!
I speak French, English, German and Vietnamese and they all have their own kind of weirdness I thought were quit strange. But then, Gecko brought Welsh in... Oh my...

Should we all just agree that laguages are wierd, but necessary?

And we haven't spoken about programming languages yet! (well it's a bit off topic)

Afrikaans is the only language in the world where a double negative forms a negative. Ek hou nie van vuurpyle nie. Nie is not. It means I don't like rockets. Directly translate it would say I like not of fire-arrows not. Even Dutch, on which Afrikaans is based, says Ik hou niet von de vuurpylen. No double negative. @Willem correct me if I'm wrong

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Spanish uses a lot of double negatives for negatives as well.

 

[TtTOtW]

Really??? I'm busted...

The language professor says to his class of yuppy party animals:
"A double negative forms a positive. In some parts of the world, a double negative forms a negative. But there is no language in which a double positive forms a negative."
A voice pipes up from the rear bench:
"Yeah right!"

Hi! I'm back with another launch vehicle
The Soyuz.

Standing on the launch pad


Lift off


With this rocket you have 2 scenarios involving the second stage:


In case of an emergency you have to follow the red instructions:
1) escape tower ignition
2) module separation

Which give you something like that:


And finally separate the descent module and deploy the parachutes.
Then the astronauts are safe!

For a nominal flight, follow the green instructions only after the booster separation:


1) Escape tower ignition
2) E. T. Separation

And once above the Kármán line:
3) fairing jettison


And then you continue with the normal procedure:

First stage separation


Soyuz deployment


In the second case, enjoy your flight toward the ISS!
