Simple English here folks. Nothing in his original sentance implied that Mamewah was no good. If he'd stated that the Maximus thing was "an even shittier version of Mamewah," then you could assume that he thought Mamewah was no good. --- End quote --- :) I stand corrected then, I just thought it was a funny way to put it. --- End quote --- No, actually you have right exactly what I assumed (and for the record, I knew that it was probably worded different.) But you don't have to use the word even to imply they both suck. Nephus: Did you try to put in sh*tty? I was typing that that would have been the correct way to word it but it filtered the word out. If that's the case then I can understand why you worded it the way you did. Anyway, since we all agree that MAMEWAH is a great frontend let's leave it at that. :) |

Simple English here folks. Nothing in his original sentance implied that Mamewah was no good. If he'd stated that the Maximus thing was "an even shittier version of Mamewah," then you could assume that he thought Mamewah was no good. Alright! a grammatical hair-splitting. I'm in. The word "version" is inherently a comparitive. Adding the term "shitey" is a descriptive comparison as in "Maximus is a shitey version of Mamewah", which would imply that Mamewah is not shitey. By using the comparitive adjective "shittier" with the comparitive noun "version" you are implying either a second comparison with a 3rd object (X is a shitey version of Mamewah, but Maximus is a shittier version) or a second order of shittiness (Mamewah is shitey and Maximus is a shittier version). Since only two objects were being discussed, then the implication is that Mamwah is also shitey. Gregor is correct. The phrase "an even shittier version of Mamewah," implies at least 3 objects with at least 2 comparisons, which again would be incorrect in this case. For example, "Alaska is an even bigger state than Texas", makes no sense unless we had been discussing a 3rd state. |

Mameworld gives a lot of links to frontends too and is less "shittier". |

Been using it for a while now and haven't gone back to Internet Explorer since. |
