Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Eek, I forgot about this. I'll send my votes to Herk tonight! Hey Lags, I think pinkgothic means they no longer sound like real words once they've been repeated so many times like that. Like if you say a word over and over and over again it ends up sounding meaningless. ~And, votes sent. Edited July 5, 2014 by Dimar Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2014 I hardly remember it. Sorry hence here comes mine: Category:Funniest Dragon/Owner's name: Zipper Zapper/Galaxy Passion Comments (only if you want to): It reads like jingle. <3 Category:Most Original Dragon/Owner's name: Hannahra/Mathcat Category:Best Two-Headed Dragon/Owner's name: Lyzar and Razyl/Hawktalon Category:Best Overall Dragon/Owner's name: Abrassa/Hawktalon Comments (only if you want to): I just like the story of a dragon fighting against her nature, even if she failed.

Posted July 5, 2014 Whatever made you think they weren't? Oh, I guess you don't know the "____ is no longer a word" thing, then? I'm not sure if it counts as a meme. It's when you see a word so often that it starts to look and sound weird, and some part of your brain becomes convinced it must be wrong (but you know it isn't). Basically, what Dimar said.

No, I wasn't aware of that one! I do understand the effect though, that when you see a word too many times, it looks all wrong and no longer seems to mean what you think it does. i had no idea that was a meme now.

Posted July 13, 2014 Well I think /view link is acceptable now. If it's for non-growing things (as all descriped dragons are) it's no big deal. I still fixed it for uniformity Share this post Link to post
