Hipo means horse in Greek , and Potamus means river, so River horse. I think they were sold to them as such by the Roma horse traders , when they tried to charge the romand it was carnage .

Or is it a generalized feeling of sadness & resignation at the state of the world? It would be much more useful to everyone if the 2 emojis were replaced with signs for "I don't agree' & 'I can't understand a word of what you just said'. yes, like a 👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 15 hours ago, johng said: Bothered by what exactly ? That someone on an internet forum doesn't agree/understand with your view/comments or that the emojis are now anonymous ? TBH it is not 'been bothered' per se by the emoji ones post receives. Sometimes it's an annoyance to see these emojis appearing on a perfectly normal, simple to understand post written by someone else! If someone on an internet forum doesn't agree/understand with your view/comments they can always request for a clarification, instead of flaming the poster or clicking on an emoji. This way the forum gets more lively, informative and interesting - sharing knowledge is a great positive feature on a public forum such as AN. When a member asks a question, go find it on Google is not the correct response, is my opinion. The grammar police is an absolute waste of time. Here in, we all are not native English speakers. Hence, our grammar & spellings might be not 100%, how ever much we are careful. Even experts in languages can make mistakes. We are all human, prone to error! Habitual inappropriate emoji clickers and grammar policing might be linked to some psychological issue, by which they try to intimidate other members (?) - but of course that has to be confirmed by a medical professional. Just my 2 cents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 20 hours ago, ezzra said: so i got to think that it maybe has to do with a low In IQ of some of the members here and judging by the responses so far, I'm right... Or merely the low "In IQ" and EQ of the poster himself. Even if the language of the post is simple and clear, if grammatically incorrect, the logic and rationale aren't. Readers can't understand how the poster arrived at such a cynical, negative, curmudgeonly, stereotypical, ultimately ignorant viewpoint. It's therefore confusing, not to mention tiresome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
