Hey, we're allowed. This is Wildstar related grammar.

That second definition only works in a specific context. From your second defintion: used to refer to a person, place, or thing that is unique: the Queen | the Mona Lisa | the Nile. The reason that doesn't work isn't because of "the" it's because of "entity". If it was the only entity anywhere, it would be fine. But it's not; technically anyone looking at it is also an entity. If it was The Eldan Entity, that'd be another thing. But it would be like me walking in and saying I am "the man". In a strict grammatical context, that's incorrect, I'm not often the only man. The only time I can be "the man" in a grammatical sense is if there are only women around me, making me the only man, the way there are no other Nile Rivers on the Earth (technically speaking, anyway). It's why I shall forever strive to defeat him, because of his appalling grammatic assertion that he is the one entity when he's around me. .... Which, to be fair, it would be a little creepier if he referred to himself as "this Entity".

That will depend entirely on tomorrow's schedule. I am -supposed- to be off but never know! Also, the change in names makes it difficult to contact people anywhere. Such an inconvenience ><

In English, it's better to default to Ms. Most of the feminine honorifics have connotations that can be objectionable depending on the person you're addressing. Ms. is essentially all-inclusive the way Mr. is for men, and I have not come across anyone who objects to it (yet).

Ironically, the reason I used "Frau" and not "Fraulein" is because the opposite thing happened in Germany. It was essentially German "Mrs." and "Ms." respectively. Fraulein was outlawed for official use in the 70s and even today is taught to not be used. Every woman is a "Frau" now as soon as they're not a Maedchen. They don't want you insinuating a woman isn't married as if there's something "wrong" with her.

What Kaelish said. In computer code, special characters like apostrophes are often "escape" characters, that tell the compiler that the text following them should be treated in a special way - an input string, or a separate command, or something like that. This is a problem both for input and output - for example, even if you can get the code to store the string with the apostrophe intact, anything that reads that string out of memory has to understand that the apostrophe is part of the string, and isn't an escape character in that context. It can be done of course, but it is more tricky to do than most people think, and if something gets missed it can lead to all sorts of wacky bugs. Ack, what am I doing. /workmode off.

Oh, come on. My fur is practically turning red now from all the flattery.

That's a tough call to make. Have you tried discussing this with your friends? Maybe schedule time specifically they play with you to avoid all this time spent as a corpse, or at least, time spent together in equal frustration? I played WoW first on a PVP server. I stuck it out to the level cap, hung out for quite some time, but then later I rerolled on a PVE server and liked it way better. So you have to weigh your options, because this isn't a decision to make lightly -- though I'm sure there are Doms that'd welcome you with open arms in PVE should your decide to go that route. Overall, you have to weigh it this way -- do you want to spend your money playing a game to have fun with your friends (and spending a bit of it dead/frustrated) or do you want to make new friends and hope to have a better experience with a PVE server?

I hope Carbine will extend the transfer time or open it up so that you can transfer back in the future, or something. It seems a bit wrong what's happening to the PvP servers right now, especially when it's like a giant nonstop party on the PvE servers.

What is this dinner you speak of? I'm skipping out of work early in a few minutes, hitting the grocery on my way home (I'm out of drinks at the house), and then I guess I should cook something while I prep for tonight's gaming group - I host, so everyone comes to me. Convenient for me not having to drive, but it means I always forget to get dinner. Maybe I won't tonight. Anyway have fun while you're out! :)

{| style="width: 100%;" Good day,

Morrigan still has big sisterly feelings for Rocio. However...tied to a stake.....not likely. As much a Rocio might like to be the martyr she wouldn't stand for it.

I still laugh at Ms. (Mistress) which has it's own negative connotations both based on the original meaning and now the new abbreviated form. Personally I think the whole system used to address another is so antiquated that it needs a major shakeup. For men it's pretty much Mr, Mr, Mr, and Sir or my Lord if titled (list goes on). But for women it is lengthy indeed due to the historical inequalities between men and women. I don't like Ms. because not once since the first time I found it popularly being used has anyone had the temerity to call someone Mistress X. While I have as yesterday been called Mister X.....omg I could go on, but I won't On to other things, Wildstar....tonight and Saturday. Hoping to improve my RP (going to install Killroy). Sunday off to a funeral for a dear friend. I suspect that as sad as Sunday will be it may turn into a bit of a celebration of his life. My friend was a talented musician with many, many friends, and the wake will have an open stage for performers and those who just want the mic for a bit.......sorry to vent :)
