If this is anything like the old AoM community boards there is a max replies per thread limit at some point, in that case at 2500 replies

We had to have 10 last post wins threads because of that

Well, the dictionary of Phate may recognize the word observative...

But it's the only one in the English-speaking world that does.

The word you wanted was observant... Your grammar is usually so good, I was pretty surprised to see you creating words.

by **areyouincahoots** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:45 pm

check dictionary. com...lol...if it's there, it's a word

by **wicked** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:46 pm

I'm with Grim on this one ...

by **HighBorn** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:47 pm

hey cool i thought i was just a hick but aint is a word....lmao

by **areyouincahoots** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:50 pm

ain't is a word...it isn't proper, but it's a word...observative may not be proper, but it's a word... :twisted:

i'm all for pushing the borders...i just hate words spelled incorrectly...if i were made mod, i would have to spellcheck the entire forum... (*insert evil laugh here*)

by **thegrimsleeper** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:56 pm

lol, Cheers to that. :twisted:

I did a google search and found it come up in quite a few reputable sources... So while I now acknowledge existance the word observative, I find myself somewhat irritated that we have a synonym for observant that is, esentially the same word.

Fucking English language. :evil:

by **areyouincahoots** on Tue May 09, 2006 2:59 pm

lol...well, I think that means that I won... :twisted:

and, of course, that the English language lost...because...if grim is mad at you, you lose...

by **Phate** on Tue May 09, 2006 3:00 pm

It's not a word I would ever use, as you mentioned observant is the standard form.

I already had a funny feeling about the word and did a quick check on dictionary.com to see if it had any results before you posted. It did, so i copied it from there. I just checked my hardback Uber-dictionary and, surprise surprise, it isn't there.

by **HighBorn** on Tue May 09, 2006 3:04 pm

gotta love the american lang...

by **areyouincahoots** on Tue May 09, 2006 3:05 pm

hmm...not to be too picky (hmm) but did i just get like 5 or so posts questioning the correctness of a word :roll:

lmao...now that is funny...what does that say about us? I guess that's what I get for being proper (most of the time...)

I think I'm going to start being incorrect more often so y'all will go crazy.

by **thegrimsleeper** on Tue May 09, 2006 3:05 pm

And I did a google search and came up with websites like Merriam-Webster and Webster's. I'd have to check the 80,000 page Oxford English Dictionary at home to be sure, but our language is already so full of contradictions and exceptions that I wouldn't be any more surprised to find it than not...

...Because it lost. :twisted:

by **Phate** on Tue May 09, 2006 3:06 pm

Well I'd go on-topic, but......... :roll:
