Okay, Gaia. We all know you have no respect for the English language. 80% of your population can't spell and can barely read. But honestly now, what in God's name is this: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?page=2&t=9556249#478708795
I honestly hope that's a joke.
I mean, I thought I was going to eat my copy of War and Peace when they said that "livid" was a synonym for "black", but when they claimed that "member" was an acceptable alternative for "arm" and "glasses" could also be referred to as "windows"... It's just too much.
Let me illustrate how insane this is to you. I'm going to write a sentence or two of RP text and then run it through the crazy filter that they suggest on the thread above.
Normal:
"Daniel hunched forward. His jet eyes seemed to glimmer from behind the spectacles resting precariously on the end of his nose as he studied the dusty old book. It's battered cover was inlayed with a fine gold filament that, despite heavy use, still maintained its yellow glimmer."
Insane:
"Daniel hunched forward. His jet opticals seemed to glimmer from behind the windows resting precariously on the end of his proboscis as he studied the dusty old book. It's battered cover was inlayed with a fine mellow yellow filament that, despite heavy use, still maintained its ochroid glimmer."
That's so insane! You don't need to reverse-bastardize English to be a good writer! Just don't type like a tard, and please stick to using words that you understand.
P.s. The word "swart" is also listed as an alternative to "black" on the list above. "Swart" is an archaic word meaning "dark-complexioned". Not only does it not mean the same thing as the color black, it's also archaic! Old! Out-dated! No longer applicable! GOD-JESUS. Okay. I'm better now...
