If anything is going to make me quit the internet, it is this.
I'm sure this is a double, but damned if I can find it.
I love that Gen. 1:1 starts with "O hai."
I think the last time it was posted, it was as a comment in another thread. Does that count as a double?
It was I who posted as a comment in another thread. And TUM followed with the same exact same comment. Déjà vu...
Today, on "It's the Arts..."
maybe they will move on to more interesting literary works after this? finnegan's wake...moby dick...wuthering heights?
Oh, like anyone could tell the difference for Finnegan's Wake...

O hai, Clarice.
This whole cat crap is supposed to be written like it was written by someone who is illiterate. The idea, of course, being that cats probably aren't wizards of the printed word.
So why in the fuck would they make the "i" sound with "ai?" "Ai" is a very advanced way of making that sound. It is in words like "haiku" and "aisle." Those are not normally pronounced English words.
This has and will continue to bug the shit out of me.
Keep it up, fellas!
Bernockle, I've always assumed that the use of "hai" in this context originates from anime fans. From what I can gather from contextual clues, "hai" is an all-purpose Japanese word like our "okay."
I've seen people use "hai" in IM as a slightly cutesier version of "hi." It sounds Hello Kitty-ish to me, in that context.
LOLCATs' use of "hai" could thus be seen as an example of humans botching the feline-English translation.
It could also be analogous to a child's use of the word "pasketti" in place of "spaghetti."
Clearly we need more linguistic studies on this, thx.
