Let's talk about capitalism

[DMGInterference]

I have to say I prefer to say “colour”, “favour”, “endeavour” etc etc because that extra “u” may be silent, but it’s fancy

[LemonSqueezy]

And it’s correct

I’m not from the UK, though

[X_CHEEMA_X]

So you should name yourself DMGInterferuence and if you agree @LemonSqueezy , you should rename yourself as LemounSqueezy by putting in another ‘u’.

[LemonSqueezy]

Na because it needs to end with an R

[DMGInterference]

Not a bad idea. From now on I’ll be Interphearaense

Yes! He said “utopian” instead of “Utopion”, forgetting he’s in a Neo Monsters server. Unforgivable! The council will decide his fate.

I actually believe that capitalism is indispensable for the development of a society. Since 1600-1700, when the only form of economy was the cultivation of the large estate of the great landowners, the rise of the capitalistic and progressive bourgeoisie strengthened the central power of the state.
Capitalism meant dynamicity and progress, advancing past the stagnant and immobile economy, unchanged since feudal age. It’s not a coincidence that the most significant progresses in agriculture technologies have been carried out ONLY by capitalistic landowners: after all, how can we imagine a lazy aristocratic landowner actually investing in whatever progress? Don’t we live in the best of all possible worlds?

Capitalism is responsible of countless advancements of civilization but the breaking point was with the Industrial Revolution. Then and there, it was evident that the old gap between commoner and aristocrat continued to exist, now between worker and employer. A materialistic (and utilitaristic) view of work and wealth, combined with the creation of a large scale market, is what really showed the true colours of capitalism.

truly well written

Yes, british english and american english are a bit different:

Neighbour- neighbor

colour- color

buff anglomaiden 2nd form- buff 2nd form anglomaiden

I came from a british colony, and am now in the U.S, I kinda see it a lot, especially when writing essays.

What? It’s the correct way to write it! Same as when saying ‘a university’ instead of ‘an university’…

You being serious now mate?

[DMGInterference]

Noticed your message just now, but he’s right.

“Euphoria” and “Utopia” all phonetically start with the /j/ sound, which is a semi-consonant and therefore needs the article a. It’s not an /i/ sound (like “Ear” or “Interference”) because they are followed by a vowel with stress.

Contrarily, words like “East” or “Undying”, despite starting with “E” and “U” like the first two words I mentioned, require the use of an.

It works the exact same in Italian but with an obvious difference in the application of the rule.

@X_CHEEMA_X

He also wrote ‘a’ utopian instead of ‘an’ Utopion. How can you ignore that ?

JAJAJAJAJA YOUR WRONG!!

So tempted to talk politics here myself but I’ll hold back. Nice to see a few people put forward some good statements and for it not to be an argument. Politics doesn’t really have any place on this forum but if everyone is staying civil then I won’t be a spoil sport

[NMEduck]

Nuuuu tell us what u were gonna say

[X_CHEEMA_X]

Indian english uses both of them, colour and color. Just the will of person writing it.

[X_CHEEMA_X]

Oops bad English. I will make a discord server for interference’s english classes too.

Not to be awkward or anything, but I thought the green topic category meant players could talk about anything non game related? Or is it just because it’s politics it would usually be an issue?
