Depending on how "wasted" is interpreted, I could see almost anything involving a computer being illegal.

>>216 this article is very vague for a wiki article, I guess due to how obscure the topic is.
>To illustrate, imagine seeing someone say this:
>"Tree's leaves are turning pretty colors. I think Tree looks nice today."
>Feel that pain? This is what some Wikipedia users feel when people use "Wiki" to refer to "Wikipedia".
I agree with the sentiment and also get irritated too easily by dullards misusing language, but that's a crap example, because that sentence makes me really happy. I also think Tree looks nice today.
actually, I meant as a wiki article in general, not a wikipedia article. wikipedia is not the only wiki, though it does tend to be the most active
>>221
This is retarded, have they never heard anybody say "the tree" when referring to a tree in their yard? People have a thing called context clues, and it is perfectly permissible in English to call a specific thing by its general type when context is obvious. Also fuck wiki users.
>>228
Just "Tree". Omitting definite article is not permissible in English.
>>229 In a world full of possibilities like this one, anything is permissible! Grammar and phonotactics are social constructs, at least in English - but some languages do have central authorities. Some people name their trees, maybe he called his one Tree.
>>231
English is descriptive, but until more people than Russian ESLs start omitting "the" then it's not really part of the language. Feel free to start trying though. Reminds me of the time I wanted to get a dog and call it Cat, and a cat and call it Dog, and a fish and call it Tarantula, and finally an empty terrarium.

>>468 the Internet claims "chinny reckon" (which is found on that page) is a corruption of "ich ne reckon" (I don't reckon) from the West Country; hence someone must have devised a gesture punning off what is a nonsense phrase to most English speakers.

>At least 20,000 articles were created by an American teenager who is not fluent in the Scots language, writing without using genuine Scots idioms or grammatical structure and assumed to be using an online English-Scots dictionary to crudely translate English Wikipedia article segments.
I knew it! A lot of it did just seem like badly written phonetical spellings of a Scottish accent on English words, rather than the spelling of Scots words. Help ma boab! I'm interested in these situations where a poor representation by someone very under-informed is widely broadcast, so a lot of people get a false impression

> I'm interested in these situations where a poor representation by someone very under-informed is widely broadcast, so a lot of people get a false impression.
It goes further than that. Various big data/machine learning things have imported the Scots wikipedia uncritically as a text corpus, meaning they're all fucked by the bad input (and ironically have further fucked up the Scots wikipedia, in an endless feedback loop, when imitators of the dastardly admin used online "Scots translators" to create more funny pages.) Basically every computational thing related to Scots is now impossible to trust, as well as possibly some other shit like academic papers that used the data.
One of the reddit posts described this person as "having done more damage to the Scots language than any other individual in history," and they may be right, though they are competing with some English kings who tried very hard indeed.

Spirit of Safety I, (built by American Blimp Corporation) registered as G-TLEL and owned and operated by Lightship Europe Limited, (but operating in Goodyear livery), caught fire while on landing approach to the Reichelsheim Airport and crashed on June 12, 2011, near Reichelsheim, Hesse, Germany. The pilot, Michael Nerandzic, flew the airship low enough that passengers could jump to the ground, and all three did indeed leap to safety. Nerandzic then, while still able to maintain some control on the burning blimp, climbed away so that fire or wreckage would not hit the escapees; soon after, Nerandzic died in the blimp's fiery wreck.[29][39]

Speaking of closed cities:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_city
"Some remote areas in China, such as Datong Hui and Tu Autonomous County (except Laoye Mountain), Huangzhong County (except Kumbum Monastery), and Huangyuan County around Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province, maintain travel restrictions for foreigners. A foreigner must apply for an alien travel document (外国人旅行证) in advance, and report their accommodation to local police within 24 hours after entering the area."
I don't understand. These places look completely unremarkable aside from historical sites.

Wikipedia says there’s a lot of Muslims and Tibetans in those areas, so it’s probably related to that.

>During the Middle Ages many of these well-wrought stones were venerated as weapons, which during the "war in heaven" had been used in driving forth Satan and his hosts. Hence, in the 11th century the Byzantine emperor sent to the Holy Roman emperor a "heaven axe"; and in the 12th century a Bishop of Rennes asserted the value of thunderstones as a divinely appointed means of securing success in battle, safety on the sea, security against thunder, and immunity from unpleasant dreams.
