Is that a question meant to be answered by anyone, or only by BB?

OK, the second one is a sentence containing two words, and the first one is containing two words, but not a sentence. (In my opinion of course)

"I know" means "I understand".

"I no" is not a sentence because "no" is just the opposite of "yes".

This isn't even a good question.
if someone says "I no" they mean "I know."

How do you no? When I say: "I no", then I don't no what I mean. Actually I mean nothing with it.

"No" and "know" are homophones - they sound the same but have different meanings.

But honestly, don't make topics for these questions. Ask them to your teacher.

I think he means stop saying "no" instead of "know" on purpose. I sort of agree, it is kind of a pain on the eyes. :lol:

Theo, At least you find it funny, because of the laughing smiley. :wink:

And I agree too, but at the same time I disagree. (Anyone else who can that? 8) )

I don't like if people use words which cause confusion, especially for people who use to talk a different language while the words are not on a translating website.

However, in order to make that point clear, I thought, doing it on purpose, was the most logical response on Deeman's post.

The same (dis)agreement on Kooky's post. The first line I fully agree. But the second line would only be true if it's about ^_^ getting the answer to his question. But not, if it's about us, having a fun conversation. For example, we could ask if ^_^ really didn't know the answer, or he asked a question on which he knew the answer, on purpose.

BB, no need to believe it or not believe it. Can't you see it with your own eyes? Or can't you believe you own eyes? And about the word: "we", doesn't that mean, (according to some of your dictionaries) some people including myself? or what? And I didn't see you gave an answer. :lol:

I no is pronounced the same as I know, so sometimes in chats we use I no to replace I know to waste less time.

(But then, it doens't really wastes that much time.)

^_^ Will you please do me a favor, and remove the flashing picture from your signature? We (some people including Patrick and me) discussed that sort of things, not long ago.

That is not flashy IMO, it is just Luigi moving in and out.

It's just the way you call it. I call it flashy, and it's distracting my view on the forum very much.

Rules are important - this discussion isn't. You don't want to check all the words in the dictionary because this isn't a serious discussion. As for the rules, that's serious.

That's only your opinion, and I knew that. And you know I don't agree with that opinion, so there's no use in saying that at all.

If it's about rules you let you whole life and soul depend on dictionaries, but when it's about things other people may find more important which you don't find important, suddenly the dictionary isn't important anymore? Quite contradictory / inconsistent if you ask me.

About the rule for the signature I agree with you, but since I don't think rules are that important to ^_^ as they are to you, I thought I'd better ask him a different way. If it doesn't help there are always other possibilities.


^_^, I didn't say the picture is distracting, but it is very distracting to me. And it becomes even more distracting since you are posting very much, so the flashing picture is everywhere. Therefore I ask you once again, if you please will do me a favor by removing it.
