Billy Jean King Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone else get taught Latin and Greek at school or was that just for us Fifers? Ecce Romani was the latin text book of choice in Ayrshire. Remember it well. That plus classical studies were standard S1 and S2 subjects when I was taught in the 80s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Who the hell wants to learn Latin or Greek? One is a dead language, the other is heading in the same direction. It's hardly surprising mind you, if they pronounce words without using the correct letters! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peedzy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone else get taught Latin and Greek at school or was that just for us Fifers? Latin in Greenock. Having Clemens est in horto imprinted in my mind from childhood was never much use to me, but Latin in general did help! Definitely Nikey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I find it difficult to trust people who tell stories in the present tense. "So I'm just sitting there.." Nope. Cheerio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 For Adidas, the guy's name was Adi Dassler as Zen has said, so technically Addydas is correct, although I tend to just say Adeedas. For Nike, I'm fairly sure Dave is right and the correct pronunciation is Nikey. Adi was the lesser known brother of Bobby. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Folk who leave a review an shopping websites giving a product 1 star because it arrived late. Or folk that review stuff before they actually receive or use it. "I bought this as a gift, I'm sure he/she will love it when they open it at Christmas" - 5 stars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I find it difficult to trust people who tell stories in the present tense. "So I'm just sitting there.." Nope. Cheerio. That, and the fact they start their sentence with a "So". Anyone who does this should be sent on the first flight to America, where this horrible thing began, and never be allowed back into the country.

Silvio Tattiescone Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I appreciate that. I also appreciate that should you talk to any of Nike's top men they will tell you it's pronounced Nikey. However, this is Scotland and we say Adeedas and Nike. Any Scotsman pronouncing them differently sound like pretentious arseholes and should rightly be publicly humiliated and possibly be put in stocks and pelted with old gutties. gutt -ees or gutt -ays? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm calling BS on that, the only people I've ever heard do this are Americans and Australians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
