<Game> Questions Only Version 29 (LV Approved)

[Fett One]

Knight of Time, do you know someone that can help Mikachu Yukitatsu?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Was my phrasing of the question bad because I ment I'd translate them from Japanese to English to post them at TPM?

[Knight of Time]

What translator did you use, Mikachu?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't any translator work?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you know I never use translators, only dictionaries because I want to figure it out by myself?

[shazza]

Wouldn't the use of dictionaries not be classified as getting help by yourself, rather they are assisting you as much as translators?

[MToolen]

Wouldn't it be better to say that dictionaries are less of an aid than translators?

[Knight of Time]

Do you find dictionaries easy to read no matter what language they're in, Mikachu?

[Fett One]

Aren't all dictionaries the same, with the exception of the language that they are written in?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well wouldn't for instance a hieroglyph-Arabian dictionary be quite hard to read as I'm unfamiliar with both of them?

[Fett One]

Why would you try to read that kind of dictionary? Does such a dictionary even exist?

[MToolen]

Do dictionaries follow the same rule of things online, where if you think of it, it's probably online?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you take it as an example, Fett One? And did you know there are some really good online dictionaries I use, I don't know about hieroglyph-Arabian which I don't need though?

[shazza]

Can you tell us about some of these online dictonaries? Did you know I'm genuinely intersted now?

[Knight of Time]

How long have you been interested in online dictionaries for, shazza? Do you prefer them over the book versions?

[Fett One]

Isn't it faster to use an online dictionary? V, have you ever been to www.dictionary.com?

[Sandslash and Ninetails]

How much faster is it to use an online dictionary?

[shazza]

Wouldn't it depend on how fast you can use a book dictionary?

[Knight of Time]

What if someone wanting to use a dictionary didn't have any book dictionaries? Would they probably have to rely on Wikipedia to look up stuff?

[Fett One]

Why would you use Wikipedia as a dictionary? Isn't it only used as an encyclopedia?

[mr_pikachu]

Is Wikipedia even reliable as an encyclopedia?

[Fett One]

Haven't we discussed the reliablity of Wikipedia several times? In fact haven't people commented on us constantly discussing the reliablity of Wikipedia, as well?

[mr_pikachu]

Is that a problem?

[Lady Vulpix]

Don't the same discussions come up again and again? Does anyone reach any new conclusions or is it just like a wheel, turning over and over?

[Knight of Time]

Are some of the discussions here in an older Questions Only topic, Gabi?

[Fett One]

Have you tried looking?

[mr_pikachu]

Would it really be worth the effort?

[Knight of Time]

Is the oldest version of the game gone right now? How long do you guys suppose this topic will stick around for after it's closed due to the need of a new version?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't we have about 200 posts to go before that happens?

[Fett One]

About how long will it take to reach 200?

[mr_pikachu]

Doesn't that depend entirely on how often people decide to post?

[Fett One]

Care to make a guess anyway?

[Knight of Time]

Would we probably finish around 300 posts, or would that be too many?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't you know that most threads in PCG finish with around 375 posts?

[Fett One]

Who picked that limit?

[mr_pikachu]

Didn't it originate in the days of 25-post pages, when any more than 15 pages seemed like overkill?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

By the way, are we obligated to read all that?

[Fett One]

Read all of what?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wasn't it clear that I meant if you want to post in a thread for the first time but it's really long?

[Knight of Time]

What are you really trying to say here, Mikachu? Are you trying to confuse someone unintentionally?
