I'd just like to make a quick remark to everybody non-British here. The world "an" is only used in Britain as an indefinite article before a word starting with a vowel or the letter "h". Ignore the seal-girl's usual rubbish.
NB: I'm not arguing with anybody at all here. I just don't want people to get a wrong idea of the language spoken in UK, because one person can't spell.
You want them to get the wrong idea because you don't want them to know I'm right. Do you want them to ignore the dictionary too, an listen to you instead? Because they'd have to to go along with what you're saying. Definition of an - Merriam-Webster Online DictionaryAn as for me talking rubbish, if I talk such rubbish, an you're so intelligent an interesting, why do people pay more attention to me?Middle English, from Old English An one -- more
I think you'll be very disappointed if we made an anonymous survey on whether or not people pay attention to you at all.[...]why do people pay more attention to me?
Eh... Okay. I think now we've really got to the true issue of this "debate". Anaisa is not stupid. She simply suffers from megalomania AN paranoia.Psk... careful, all the CKs are there to get you! This is starting to get amusing. Might just as well stay here for another while.You want them to get the wrong idea because you don't want them to know I'm right.
EDIT: By the way, "an" is obviously so awfully popular that it's not even listed in the 20 page article in Wikitionary, well, except for being the indefinite article or meaning "if". No sign of an synonym to "and" anywhere nearby.

if I was a girl, I would like to see what its like peeing standing up.
Geez Way to send my thread down the crapper guys.
I'll just have to make a different one tomorrow.
That is amusing! You think we need a survey to see if people at Eoff pay attention to me more than they do you?! How many of my posts get attention compared to yours? Be realistic Discord, it's blatantly obvious I get more attention. Reason being, I'm not dull an uninteresting. You are. An as for mental health issues, we've already established that's your department.Boo hoo hoo.Originally Posted by depressed Discord
What? Was that your attempt at humour? God that was awful!Psk... careful, all the CKs are there to get you! This is starting to get amusing. Might just as well stay here for another while.
An what's wrong with the dictionary link I provided you with that proves me right? Nothing. You're showing yourself up. First of all, my usage of "an" is totally incorrect, then when proven wrong, the argument becomes: "Well it's not in Wikitionary!"EDIT: By the way, "an" is obviously so awfully popular that it's not even listed in the 20 page article in Wikitionary, well, except for being the indefinite article or meaning "if".

Ohhh... okay, guess I beth dull and uninteresting, while thee, sunshine, arest igniting these forums everyday with the sharpness of thy thought and the vastness of thy superior omniscience.
On a serious note: Have you ever considered the possibility that you really are both a megalomaniac and a paranoid? No offence, but it's more than obvious from your posts. You're not tagged, are you?
Could you please talk a little slower for us? We can't follow the lightning of thy thoughts.
Incase you missed it the first time:An as for mental health issues, we've already established that's your department:Oh look, you've ignored being proven wrong about the word "an" an attempted to speak in old English.Originally Posted by depressed Discord
You see where you're going wrong there, is listening rather than reading.Could you please talk a little slower for us? We can't follow the lightning of thy thoughts.
Now you're repeating yourself too and of course I'm not not answering to every bit of rubbish you're typing up in here. At least not for free.
So, what would your empirical advice would be to people, like me, who suffer from paranoia and magalomania?
If it's all so rubbish, why respond at all? You repeated yourself, so I responded to it, in the same way I did before.
That was well worded! If they were people like you, I'd suggest numerous fun ways for them to destroy themselves. Like being bitten by a taipan for example.So, what would your empirical advice would be to people, like me, who suffer from paranoia and magalomania?
