Hmmm, this thread is starting to irritate me. Seriously. No offense here to anyone in particular, but I hate it when people rape the English language. At least write correctly, else don't do so at all. This forum is quite serious, and I was delighted to see there are not many trolls, major spammers and soft porn-oriented material here. But what I like most, is the fact that many people are quite smart and educated here, and bother to write correct English. Please, don't ruin this.

Quoted for truth.

Everyone please calm down. Don't we dare to destroy our royal language to let dwell into it the dark tantacules of stupidity, such as using a ''z'' instead of a ''s'' to the word boys, or to insult the 9 muses, especially Eutherpe, muse of the arts, when, we write ''da'' at the place of the only correct article ''the''. Who would dare saying ''Choppa'' instead of the noble and worthy word ''axe''. Friends, knowledge thirsty fellow, how we dare? Destroying a language that our forefathers die protecting, forcing it to the rest of the world by the noble sport of military conquest of Africa, India and America,
killing those who, sinfully, would prefer to keep their barbaric dialect such as French, Indian, and all other worthless tribalish sounds from Chile to Alaska, except, Mighty England. When I think about it, brothers, replacing that God given way of communication by mewling and growling, bring tears to my eyes. We are insulting Shakespeare, my brothers!

(You do actually realise that all this have been written by a seperatist french-canadian who say SCREW YOU to the english Crown hmmm?

OK, you might find this funny but I don't. If you like the sorry state in which we've brought ourselves in not only in matters such as proper language but many others as well (which go straight to the core of the human society and its eminent disintegration), then that's fine by me. But don't expect me to just sit here watching you do your "thing". I've grown enough sick of this watching my little brother use Greeklish instead of Greek (and using "i"s everywere instead of "oi", "y", "ei" etc.), as well as apply several of what we call "barbarisations" of our language for example. I just hoped I would't see the same things over here as well. Especially from people which I would consider educated and, at least, intelligent.

How comes that languages subished so much evolution since their apparition? It's because people judged, by the time's standard, stupid invented new words, changed the orthograph, and so on. If it would not be form those stupid ''ignorants'', you would still speak ancient greek and I don't know what I would speak because french would not exist! So nobody need to be insulted because of the ''degradation of language'' i mean, actually, I win my life by writing poetry... That dosen't mean that because sometime I feel free to write ''uncorrect'' french or english that I'm automaticly destroying the base of their gramatical rules forever!
So Maion, I respect your opinion about the degradation of Human's society, and also share it, but no one needs to climb on a too big horse... meaning : wow, calm down!

Cheers!

Congratulations, you have had a "sense of humour failure", go read up on Warhammer 40K.

Ok. We are using this speak because, this game(warhammer 40,000) has a group called the orkz. Their two gods are gork and mork. The orkz also speak as if they have really heavly drawlling southern U.S. accent. We are just speaking as if we are getting into the story. Read some of the books and you'll understand.

I find the way their speech is written rather lower class English (as in from southern Britain esp London).

The greenskins in "Warhammer Dark Omen" (is that a Lore-worthy source?) had a sort of grunting Sarf Lundun (=South London) accent (the sort so beloved of Guy Richie). This sometimes melds into a cockney accent too, but is marked by a more guttural tone IMHO.

The use of this accent (or is it a dialect?) is consistent with the class-sterotypes prevalent in Britain of stupid violent unwashed football fans. However I would argue it is a legitimate form of English and certainly not "imaginary" as maion seems to think it is.

I must say I share Maion's sentiment in desiring proper use of the forms of language but I concede that this is a chimaera, a somewhat elitist pipe dream, and adhering to "proper" forms is awkward and even unhealthy for language growth and development.

Its hilarious that orcs sound like poms (even in the LOTR films) and a thread on the most orc-like unti in EB is a fun distraction. Vote 1 mercenary wolf men.

Edit: the Clockwork Orange-spracht a page or so back was excellent, just excellent. Long live made up languages.
