It sounds better when it's not in English.

voice; in_likeflynn June 29 2011, 22:25:00 UTC

Friede sei mit dir? Pax tecum?

voice; xuffasch June 30 2011, 01:04:49 UTC

Better, not best.

voice; in_likeflynn June 30 2011, 02:49:49 UTC

Ah, well. I tried.

Pray tell, my fine fellow, what is the best?

voice; xuffasch June 30 2011, 05:04:15 UTC

( a huff, and then, in very perfect Arabic: )

As-Salāmu `Alaykum.

( back to English, with another huff: )

It's a sentimental platitude.

voice; in_likeflynn June 30 2011, 11:34:40 UTC

Beautiful, indeed.

But what makes it a platitude, I wonder.

voice; xuffasch June 30 2011, 15:33:16 UTC

Because millions of people just say it mindlessly.

voice; in_likeflynn June 30 2011, 22:30:58 UTC

And so nobody means what they say at that moment, hm? All the good has faded out of it?

voice; xuffasch July 1 2011, 02:52:11 UTC

If there was any to begin with.

voice; in_likeflynn July 1 2011, 04:24:46 UTC

Ah, well I mean it when I say it, you see, and I hope you feel better very soon.

voice; xuffasch July 1 2011, 04:44:02 UTC

"Better"?

voice; in_likeflynn July 1 2011, 11:38:09 UTC

You seem to be rather grumpy.

voice; xuffasch July 1 2011, 16:16:34 UTC

Maybe you're just needlessly upbeat.

voice; in_likeflynn July 2 2011, 02:05:12 UTC

I wouldn't said it's needless. Why, if I wasn't upbeat, I'd be miserable.

voice; xuffasch July 2 2011, 05:38:28 UTC

How embarrassing for you.

voice; in_likeflynn July 2 2011, 07:39:15 UTC

Not really.
