Me to my new GURPS players
singular of “dice” is “die” btw
Sort of. “Dice” is both plural and singular, “die” is just singular. (According to both Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries at any rate.)
…f*ck the OED; they don’t even speak proper american…
They are entitled to their wrong opinions.
Unlike most things, if enough people have wrong opinions on language they stop being wrong.
Which is why it’s our responsibility to bully them for their opinions

We don’t speak English here sir. We speak American
Aka Modern English. Not that old Legacy version.
Actually, the American Southern dialect is believed to be closer to the English Shakespeare would have spoken than modern British accents. the same os believed to be true for the Quebec accent, as the groups that settled these areas became isolated and evolved at a slower pace than the home countries. So American is closer to the legacy version, while British is the modern one.
Actually, the American Southern dialect
Individual dialects don’t really apply to this type of generalization. That’s really too specific.
I mean, that’s a very specific part of America. Most of America doesn’t speak like the Southern states. It may be the largest specific dialect grouping (I don’t care enough to look into it more than a casual search), but that doesn’t mean that it encompasses a majority of America. Boston also has an extremely conspicuous dialect for instance compared to the rest of the country, but we’re not talking about Boston specifically ,we’re talking the entire US generally.
We don’t want to go about saying that British English is wholly determined by the specific dialect around London do we? Even though that’s like 14% of the entire population of England.

This is just another way to out yourself, gamer.
Shibboleth.
Amazing.
God I forgot how hard the editing on that video goes
Conversely, when you refer to a wargamer’s miniatures as meeples…
Damnit…
Now I want to 3d print a bunch of meeples and show up to Warhammer night at my LGS.
