I like Grey Company because it has a great variety of words for someone who wants to learn a few quick words of a pretty language. But I do agree that they should magnify that writing in very fine print under their homepage title. None the less, I won't begin to admonish every newbie that collects a handful of vocabulary from that site. Grelvish ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Anywho, I was wondering if anyone knows how to say some sort of more elegant insult/comebacks like "You'll forgive me if I don't get up" or "You understand if I don't hold my breath" Of course it isn't going to fit exactly but just something of that gist.
I guess we could break it down to translate:
"You'll understand if I don't..."
and then
"hold my breath" or "get up [to greet you]"
The people I know at academy and clubs do know a collection of elvish and it wouldn't be very subtle if I was to insult them in a language they knew! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But I've never heard these phrases before ... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[EDIT]: Oh yeah...I couldn't get that Ardalamdion (I think I spelt that right) website to open. Can someone give me the exact address instead of a link? Thanks!
