[OT] English word for "turn-off-able"
Not sure if there is one word for 'turn-off-able' in English! Togglable? Configurable? Enablable? I think 'Can be disabled' says it all. A yes.. Optional!!!

Hmm... "Optional" seems to be the closest, but it's not the same to what is meant by "can be turned off".
Disablable.Enablable?

Thanks for the advice.

You're welcome.
It was just a small practice in German for me. Unfortunately, I don't know it well enough...

BTW turnoff in English either means an exit road, OR something that makes you loose interest in a matter.
If it can be turned on again - it is Optional!Hmm... "Optional" seems to be the closest, but it's not the same to what is meant by "can be turned off"

Sacre bleu!! - a HIGHLY contentious statement likely to cause irreparable damage to international relations! Sljivovica is an insignificant trifle compared to this insult - all patriotic simians are rushing to load their catapults with sh!t at this very moment! See what a careless remark like that can do!!?icfu wrote:... it's a language spoken by cowboys and island monkeys...
It's nothing but the truth, nothing contentious here.
Languages of people living on islands degenerate. If you only see coconuts the whole day, after a few generations noone will know what an apple is anymore.
The simplicity of English language is annoying:
I do
You do
He does (does? Huh? What's that? Two more generations of hip hoppers and the es will be gone too, I am sure)
We do
You do
They do
In Germany if you meet people on the street talking like that:
Ich tun
Du tun
Er tun
Wir tun
Ihr tun
Sie tun
everyone will think that you are either stupid or just start learning the language.

Another outrageous assertion only true if you live on a tropical isle that you can walk round in a day! The people of Java, Iceland, Ireland and Jamaica are now up in arms. Cross-border invasions, conquest, rape, pillage, immigration - all contribute to the enrichment and culture of the language, spread it, and keep it from ossifying, island or no (ask the Romans). And btw, I'm very fond of a lovely bunch of coconuts too!Languages of people living on islands degenerate.
Ah, but that is the very key to its undeniable success, you see? It's a Darwinian universe we live in and the very absence of over-complexity allows other beings to absorb and adapt it to their own uses. Sometimes it becomes almost incomprehensible as a result, but the DNA is unmistakable.The simplicity of English language is annoying:
Try the child-like 'Ich tun' outside of the cosy confines of a couple of countries in Europe and what are you likely to get in spite of its simplicity? A 'huh?' and a shrugging of shoulders, I suspect. A sophisticated even more complicated construct would be worse.
But use 'I do' elsewhere and you might win yourself the hand of the most sleek and lovely girl in a foreign country! I really like that. "I do, you do, he does, we do, you do, they do" is a winning combination in my book because of their simple elegance. I rest my case!

Well, that is good point !Squire wrote: But use 'I do' elsewhere and you might win yourself the hand of the most psleek and lovely girl in a foreign country! I really like that.

But it is also as true as saying that BASIC is winning language in your book becuase of it simple elegance, comparing to C++.
So you can choose: be a shugardaddy.... or be something more....
Habemus majkam!
No, no, not BASIC please! That's a quick 'n dirty interpreter useful for q'n'd things (we all need those) but hardly elegant. I would have used standard C or Lua against C++ in the comparison.But it is also as true as saying that BASIC is winning language in your book becuase of it simple elegance, comparing to C++.
You pose such difficult questions: hmm, [sugar daddy plus beautiful maiden] or [something else minus beautiful maiden]......let me think......sob! I am so weak, I choose the first! Please forgive me.
