WHO WROTE THIS!?!?!?

Dont look at me, I would have made a lot more typoes

Uh...... Jack McKinney?

Jack McKinney wrote about the EBSIS? No this is most defiantly Andy's work. Notice the blatant use of hybrid mecha and the irroneous spelling of Zentreadi?

Thank goodness for jock itch cream!

What about the erroneous spelling of erroneous?

His spelling of Zentraedi comes from a handful of the rarer Robotech comics (if not the Malcontent Uprisings novels), so I wouldn't necessarily call it erroneous.

err.....That would be my erroneous spelling, and my work....
I'm afraid I was inspired by some old Gundam kibashes and Zaku prototypes, and figured that it would be a decent battlefield-salvage mod for mecha-strapped regional Earth governments....

Oops! My bad!



Meh, if you say so. I find it mildly annoying. Espessially when he corrects the spelling of Zentreadi...

Actually, the correcting of the spelling of Zentraedi to T'sentradi and being quite obstinant about it also comes from the aforementioned obscure Robotech comics... I just wish I could remember which one. I'm well versed in my Robotech lore (pre-HG recanonization), but I stink with remembering the titles of the various comics and novels I've read...

OH YA??? OH YA??? WELL I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT!!!




And while you're at it, you can thank Corsairus for telling me what a Catush... Kitash... A Stalin Gun is, that's what you can do!!!

That, felt GOOD...

And for the off-topic matter of spelling. I'm not changing it. I spell it as pronounced. Don't like it? TOUGH. As for me writing it- Uh, have I EVER broached Ruski tech? Or T'sentraedi Moddies (other than the TBP Z-1 Moddy)? NO. If you want, I could. (Just keep it up, and I will.)

Bah, just ignore it all and spell it ｾﾞﾝﾄﾗｰﾃﾞｨ (zentoraddei), then you can act superior to all the non-Japanese speaking fans

Ok, why aren't my pics working?

OK. I mentioned before I thought the way Andy spelled Zentraedi is silly. However I would like to point out that he dose it on purpose. I, on the other hand am dsylexic. Also, I don't try to correct anyone elses grammer or spelling. So lay off the spelling corrections...

I'm also dyslexic. I have to consciously correct myself at each and every typed word, and so when I get tired, I start flipping letters just like you just did. But I don't cut myself any slack about it.

Sorry, didn't mean to hit a nerve.

If you're asking about signature images, I'm not sure, they've been a tad glitchy since the last forum upgrade. Only thing I can think of is that your profile might be set to not display signature images...

With just a cursory look, I can see that his image link doesn't end in a true image file. This version of the forum probably requires a standard jpg, gif, or similar file.

Zentraedi! Zentraedi! Zentraedi! Zentraedi! Zentraedi! Zentraedi! Zentraedi!

....Zen...Tra...edi....

jeez, is it so hard to spell?

Okay...let's hear whay ya got.....

As for spelling...Don't worry about it....'Katyusha'(aka also 'Stalin's Organs'(from their racked pipes and sound)), like 'T'sentraedi', is a rough-guess anglo-conversion of a language that doesn't use the same alphabet....I admit to freely using 'T'sentraedi' to suggest a native speaker of the Zentraedi language...an attempt to force the microns to be more considerate of the proud heritage of the Zentraedi people(of course, the females will vehemently assert that they are Meltraedi, rather than be placed under the same general term 'Zentraedi'---much as an Aleut or Inuit may take offense at being called an 'Eskimo'....thus adding a bit more cultural flavor to the text...I draw the line at using the terms 'Zentran' or 'Meltran', suggesting the slightly different later-generation Marduk creations of the Macross II continua....
Though at the time that I first read the use of 'T'sentraedi', I thought it was human slang abbreviation for 'THE Zentraedi'

It is.



(*multiple expletives*) And it worked in the pm I sent myself to test it... (*more expletives*)



Uh, ya... See, my comment was a apir of flags, BRAVO ZULU. Flag code, means "Job Well Done" (actually, just "Well done", but nevermind that).

You know, I don't trip that Humans spell- AND SAY- It wrong. Doesn't really effect the price of gimno in K'radrd. What I do trip on is those who, either through ignorance or arrogance (though to date I've never seen one who didn't do it through both) INSIST that it's spelled wrong, which actually it is, but it's closer the Z version. (The "T" is short and sharp, and rolled over by the "Z/S" sound, for all who care and a few who don't.)

For the most part, the females around Micronians don't trip on the T'sentradi/Meltran thing, though out of sight of them, T'sen, secure for rough seas if you breech that taboo!:lol:

Why is it that every time I wander over to the Robotech boards, you guys are fighting over how to spell something?

Gaius

Well how is it Written in the damn book?

Because this is America and everyone has to be in agreance with everyone else in order to keep the peace. Frankly we all know what he is saying so really it is no big deal, seeing as he is not going to change. As for how Harmony Gold or whomever wants it spelled, Idaresay that until one of them decides to come to my house and play in one of my game sI will spelll and or do things my way. Even if it includes playing the sentinnels as if the shows had aired and the Mckinney books were still canon.

Well how is it Written in the damn book?

WHICH damn book?!?!

ALL the ROBOTECH books, I mean are they Consistent with there spelling or do they all spell it differently?

McKinney usually uses the Z in his novels. In the later novels, when T'sentraedi characters address each other they use T'sendraedi. Human characters still use the Z though.

The difference in usage only really becomes an issue between drunken xenolinguists and/or Robotech otaku....

Alright that's enough arguing about the correct spelling of ｾﾞﾝﾄﾗｰﾃﾞｨ, now let's get back to the topic

Damn you TM ... I wish I could pull the same trick

RIGHT!!! SPEAKING OF WHICH! Erm... What WAS the original subject again... OH, RIGHT THEN! Taalismn, BRAVO ZULU! But don't get used to me complimenting you, either! Right, cause I'm a jerk. Right...

Erm... Ya.

Install Japanese font.
It says, phonetically speaking, Ze N To Ra a De e,

Compliment accepted....You're not a jerk...
JUST VERY ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!!!!!!!
(Either that, or you've been standing too close to a MACII during its main cannon firing sequences)

All the above.

Oh., right, and there's a new moddy up. Kind of funny, this one...

No but you can be rather arrogant on occasion

Right, and that too.

Why's this thread still alive?

T’sentraedi vs Zentraedi

I hate this debate...

Dude, if any one of you flags another post about how to properly spell whatever the hell it is your arguing over, I will use every means at my disposal to bring this house of cards crashing to the ground. No more arguments over such trivial crap. Understood? Good lord.

Gaius

Well, might as well go out with a BIG bang...


Every last one of those was ME. Nobody else.

Maybe if the moderators DID THEIR JOBS and moderated threads, rather than did half the damned flaming themselves, NO flags would go up.

Tet and Alex know FULL WELL that what their doing is flamebaiting, and I HAVE complained about it in the past- So when you "moderators" do nothing about it, I dealt with it myself. I was then accused of "sarcasm" and warned THAT would get me banned. (I am never sarcastic. Cruel and heartless- NEVER sarcastic.)

So, in essence, this IS the mods own damend fualt, isn't it- Dude?

You're the one who continues to make it an issue, Andy. Thread locked.
