  I want to use the version that sounds better to you. I uploaded the first version, but amended it. The syndicate's server didn't pick it up initially, but it will eventually. I think I'll post both versions on my blog. Thank you for very much, telofy.
• about 1 month ago frogapplause said
  I reworded my gag because I thought it would be easier to translate!
  "Now you see me, now you don't" is the version familiar to me.
• about 1 month ago frogapplause said
  It would be my readership as a whole, so I opted for formality.

  Jetzt sehen Sie mich, jetzt sehen Sie mich nicht.
  (Now you see me, now you don't see me.)
  
  I don't trust my German (in my comic strip) unless I get it double-checked!

  Presumably she means doppel-check.
• about 1 month ago frogapplause said
  Calling telofy! Are you around? I need to double-check a short sentence in German.

  Hi telofy, glad you like the corpus additions and the translation feature. Those are provided by the Google Language API—who I intended to credit with a little logo link, like Flickr, but Google is very restrictive about the use of their logo.
  
  Just fixed the Century definitions too—thanks much for pointing that out.

  Not there anymore!
  *applause*
  Your profile is back to normal. Thank you for doing that.
  :-)
• 4 months ago possibleunderscore said
  Oops! I think I'm seeing things differently. After your profile name, there is a big white space (except for the sidebar) before the profile information.
  Sorry for the confusion.
  : )
  
• 4 months ago possibleunderscore said
  Except for the strange white expanse above.
  Why is that there?
• 4 months ago bilby said
  Profile looks better again! *hugs*

  Welcome to the Whitelisted Spam Club, telofy!
• 4 months ago john said
  Hi t, as you noticed, I had to clamp down on links in profiles earlier this week, necessitated by another massive spam attack. We are at this very moment writing code to better address this, but in the meanwhile I've been whitelisting people to let them use links in profiles. Just added you to the list.
• 4 months ago frogapplause said
  Haha! I love this link on your blog!
  
• 4 months ago frogapplause said
  I left a comment on your blog, telofy.
• 4 months ago bilby said
  Stop spamming us telofy!
• 4 months ago prolagus said
  My links work too...
• 4 months ago frogapplause said
  I'm not sure why my More-About links work while your links do not. I've had them up since my Wordie days.
• 4 months ago frogapplause said
  Hi, telofy. Kindly pronounce: Frühjahrsmüdigkeit
• 5 months ago john said
  Hi t, I believe there's a stats blog post in the works. Once I've read it I'll put a condensed explanation on the stats page itself.
  
  Your en dash is on order—it should arrive from the foundry sometime tomorrow.
• 7 months ago erinmckean said
  I'll try to get some scripts so we can put 'em in the corpus.
  
  And you forgot the CLOTHES! OMG, the clothes in that show are so good!
• 7 months ago erinmckean said
  I'm *loving* the Pushing Daisies quotes. Thanks for adding them!
• 8 months ago reesetee said
  I like peanut butter, but it doesn't sum me up. I think it's the clarinet.
• 8 months ago jwn197 said
  so... liking peanut butter doesn't sum you up? if you don't know what in the WORLD I'm talking about, see my profile here.
• 8 months ago frindley said
  Ah, a variant on "Frustkauf" (as supplied to me a contact at the Berlin Philharmonic).
• 8 months ago frogapplause said
  telofy: Kindly record a pronunciation for "you're something of a hotdog, aren't you".
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  Thanks, telofy. Mine has the start of an alveolar trill, but it's not actually necessary. :-)
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  Oh, yay--there they are! Thank you for recording the pronunciations of your sobriquet. I like them both.
• 8 months ago gray_90 said
  Ah, OK... sorry my brain didn't work properly on Friday.
  I agree, private messages on here would be good.
  By the way, I have noticed that almost no one here in Poland speaks English... and if they do, you don't understand them. There were some minor problems with public transport yesterday, and if this is the case when I go back to Berlin, I will be lost as I won't be able to understand anyone or make myself understood! I really hope I'll be back in Berlin in time!
• 8 months ago gray_90 said
  What did my mum say... "you want to study a LANGUAGE, so you'd better speak up when talking to people!". Sorry about that... but you found me anyway :)
  See you later I hope!

• 8 months ago prolagus said
  I can't find your "Wenn Lloyds..." pronunciation.
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  P.S. I'd like to hear pronunciations of both versions.
• 8 months ago prolagus said
  I didn't notice it! Wow!
• 8 months ago prolagus said
  telofy, I read your last comment on Grant's page. Even if you've found a way to record your pronunciation on the right page, if we can't reach it, it won't be easy for us to enjoy it. :)
• 8 months ago grant_barrett said
  Telofy, I've put in a request to move the pronunciation you asked about. We don't currently have a convenient way to move them, though, so I'm not sure how long it will take.
  
  PS: request of that sort are best left at

  What's with the tinny tagging, telo?
• 8 months ago possibleunderscore said
  I don't know if it's just me, but your pronunciation for: 'Der dicke Dachdecker deckte dir dein Dach, drum dank dem dicken Dachdecker, dass der dicke Dachdecker dir dein Dach deckte' isn't there. Have you deleted it? If so, then I request it back. ;-)
  What does it mean by the way?
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  Oh! As long as you're taking requests... would you mind recording your sobriquet for us?
• 8 months ago prolagus said
  By the way, you recorded Auf den sieben Robbenklippen sitzen sieben Robbensippen, die sich in die Rippen stippen, bis sie von den Klippen kippen. on (...)Klippen kippenpronunciations/pronunciations (due to the ending-with-dot bug).
• 8 months ago prolagus said
  AWESOME pronunciations.
• 8 months ago frogapplause said
  More German pronunciations, please!

  I played with your name.

  Thanks for the invite to the double dactyl list
• over 1 year ago telofy said
  Yeah, that's my Wordie PRO. :-)
  (Also see below.)
• over 1 year ago sarra said
  Love your 'also on'. Gave me a smiling pleased giggle.
• over 1 year ago sarra said
  Thank you! I noticed when I was on 1,999 and thought "ooh" but didn't pay any attention to my 2,000th - so I'm not sure which it was. I added a couple of thousand-related words as my 1,000th and 1,001st.
  
  Ah, hold on, I can work it out… justiciable! The thousandth was millenary. (Followed by mother of thousands)
• over 1 year ago chained_bear said
  Aah! Nice! Thanks, Pro...
• over 1 year ago telofy said
  Oh dear, he perpetuated my choices. What if one day I should find part of what I seek today? Will you update the screenshot?
  Thanks for the clarification.
• over 1 year ago prolagus said
  This is what we mean...
• over 1 year ago chained_bear said
  I gathered that from your comment on Pro's profile, telofy, but honestly, this page doesn't look any different to me than everyone else's profile pages. What am I missing?
• over 1 year ago telofy said
  Should actually be visible to anyone...
• over 1 year ago chained_bear said
  Erm... I carn't see nuffink. Pro, of what speak you?
• over 1 year ago prolagus said
  How did you customize your profile page?! Wow! That's the real Wordie PRO! :D
• over 1 year ago sionnach said
  Congratulations on reaching 4K, telofy. I have taken the liberty of commenting on your Gene Wolfe list.
• over 1 year ago sarra said
  4,000 words! Happy thousand!
• over 1 year ago fbharjo said
  I live in the Gila (an apache name) time zone. Thanks for the comment.
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Hi telofy--not sure what you comment on my profile refers to, but you're certainly welcome to tag or list anything you like here on Wordie as you wish. Within reason, of course, which is to say, don't piss off John. ;-) Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying Wordie--we're enjoying your lists as well.
• almost 2 years ago telofy said
  So it's actually a week now. Shiver me timbers!
  I would have liked to answer on your individual profile pages, but that would have been bound to ensue redundancy.
  Most of these 3333+ words stem from the Grandiloquent Dictionary and weren't copied by hand. There is also a pretty little collection of quick-and-dirty python scripts I wrote, which are assisting me. ^^
  Sleeping indeed becomes an issue btw. Since you pay for Wordie PRO per year and not per page traffic, it would be utter squander.
  Thanks for the motivation!
• almost 2 years ago prolagus said
  Telofy's using Wordie PRO!
• almost 2 years ago mollusque said
  A new record? 3245 was the highest I saw. Perhaps surpassing stpeter, as noted on perhapsolutely's profile.
• almost 2 years ago bilby said
  3000+ words listed in a week? Don't forget to sleep, or else see Prolagus for tips!
• almost 2 years ago vanishedone said
  Cheers. I like to think I offer a worthy challenge to Babelfish and the like.
