Yes, I noticed BDI's sentence structure also. Yoda spoke using a pronounced Germanic sentence structure.  For example, instead of saying "Come in through the side door", Germans say (translated) "Through the side door, come in".

 

Remember malodery saying she/he/it "reverted" to the German accidently?   That spawned our German back and forth posts for a bit.

 

Very strange isn't it?

One of the classics that was told in my younger years was about the German immigrant who said, "I will throw the cow over the fence some hay".   I don't know if it actually happened.   Can you translate that into German to see what the sentence structure would be?

I'm sorry mallory, but I'm sortof lost here. In what way does my sometimes afterthought inclusions to a sentence create so much chatter? I have never really been a fan of the science fiction films, but somehow I do know of the yada character. German isn't a bad language to me, just that I prefer French to my percieved sense in german, that tends to come from the sometimes often emphasis there that makes it sound angry. Like japanese. It sounds like a peeved person yelling alot too. Perhaps I watched too many news reels of hitler charging the crowds. I have slopped many a hog, but rarely hayed a cow, especially over the fence.

Could a novice ask, what is the purpose of a generic post?

Why should I not comment on it and ask the poster to translate it from drivel to something a normal English speaking individual can understand.

And why doesn't he?

I hope two questions are not too many for some of you.


What's the matter BS, are two questions one to many?   If they are, just answer the first one.

Don't worry about your writing.   It's as good or better than your ctitics'.

My comments are directed at others who write absurd things and do not make themselves clear.
