Sands February 4, 2013 Share February 4, 2013 English is based off of Latin. You can't just break away from it like that. A language can outgrow it's roots, but Engrish hasn't as of yet. Stick with tupperware. English has its roots everywhere, mang. English ain't Latin, Latin/Roman alphabet ain't Latin. It's just a way to write a language, a lot of languages use that same script, but you're not calling them Latin, right?

Lacquer February 24, 2013 Share February 24, 2013 I like "tulpas", but I prefer to type in a way to avoid saying the plural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolke March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 lol, it's not a Latin word. It's Tibetan. No reason to use Latin inflection. Thought I'd point that out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurora March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 We all know that. I prefer "tulpae" over "tulpas" because it sounds cooler, and I have a lisp so I can't make the "s" sound. (Also, whoever invented the word "lisp" is a total asshole. "Don't laugh, I can't thay the th thound becauthe I have a lithp!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sands March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 We can all learn from uncle waffles. As for the lisp problem, obviously the correct singular and plural for you would be tupper and tupperware.

Laurora March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 "Tupper" and "tupperware" reminds me of when I get to take leftovers from last night's dinner to school instead of a sandwich. It makes it sound like we're gonna use them to hold our lunch or something. Why not don't we use "tulpa" as a plural and a singular like we do with "sheep" and "fish"?

Sands March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 You could do that but it would have the same problem as all the other words that have the same singular and plural: confusion. It's not always obvious if you're talking about one or multiple sheep. Funnily enough, Roswell uses tulpa as the plural??? Tupperware is still the best.

Laurora March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 I use "they" as a plural and a singular as well. I don't find "sheep" and "fish" confusing. "That sheep" = 1 sheep. "Those sheep"= multiple sheep. People using "tulpa" or any other word as both should probably say "My tulpa" for one tulpa and "My two tulpa" for two tulpa etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
