what a pointless post you have there, forum fighter.

Oops, sorry, I didn't see what Blade wrote. But, don't talk to me about pointless posts. You made an ingenious plan against Forum Fighters, do you not remember? I found it funny, but I can always use stuff against people if they're being hypocritical.

so, basicly your head of a team that tries to keep the forums on topic/spamless/ect, when you don't even read a post before you reply to it?

I just did, but before I didn't know you even posted before, so I didn't know I should've taken it out then.

Yeah, I usually say "dead end" I've never heard of cul-de-sac.

I'm a Brit and I use dead end for a non residential street. But if it's a resedential dead end, I call it a cul de sac, like the street I live in.

Dagamez, I'm sure he nows that. He wrote it.

So, a loch is a lake? What about lake Lochness? Would that be loch Lochness?

No, its not Lake Lochness. Its just 'Loch Ness' which is 'Lake Ness'

So... we North Americans are always calling it Lake Lake Ness?
I can see why you think we're ignorant lol

Yes. Lake Lake Ness.

Which also means Nessie is the Lake Ness Monster.

But if Lochness were one word and was the lake name, wouldn't the loch nessmonster be Lochnesssie?
