Shawna Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 does anyone know what this says? What it means? It's on the cover of a very old book...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Gnarlsebring? Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse drive a Chrysler?
Kevin Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 Is it just me or are some of you buzzing with excitement over the upcoming 'Speak Like a Pirate Day ' (Sept. 19th ) - the best darn day of the year !
Kevin Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 How do you pronounce 'schism ' ? 1. Skiz-um ; 2. Siz-um ? I'm listening to this English broad and she is saying 'siz-um' over and over again which is catching my attention and annoying me to no end ...
Kevin Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 I'm 10 minutes away from watching ' Flight 93 ' on TV ( never seen it before ) ... anyone wanna warn me off ? Seriously .
Shawna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Is "Flight 93" the one about the plane headed for the Pentagon? It's pretty good. Done in a sort of documentary style, if I remember correctly.
Kevin Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 That's the one . You have about 30 seconds or so to deter me to happier thoughts ...
Shawna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 don't let me do that, for heaven's sake. Watch it! It's pretty good. You might learn something about 9/11 you didn't know. Plus, 9/11 is in 2 days anyway, so you're right on target for the anniversary.
Shawna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 does anyone know what this says? What it means? It's on the cover of a very old book... let me bring this back to the forefront, still hoping someone here will be able to read it and tell us what it means... please.
Farin Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I read it as "Gnarleodieirene"... "Gnarleo Die Irene"? and Kevin, according to the Wiktionary both are possible, but I only ever heard the "ˈskɪzəm" one as well
Viaene Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I think Gnarleo Die Irene is correct, it has vague references to Dickens. It seems to exist only in google cache, the sites I click lead to a dead end: http://www.google.be/search?q=gnarleo+die+irene&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&client=firefox-a
The Seeker Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I think that's just some other person who doesn't have a clue what it really says either And I think skizum is correct, yes.
The Seeker Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 You know what? It's Charles Dickens' signature!
edna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 You know what? It's Charles Dickens' signature! I just found this: http://www.handwriting.org/archives/98oct_02.html
The Seeker Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Hey, that looks like my handwriting.

Uncle Joe Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Apparently he signed it in "the worst of times".
Shawna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 cool! Thanks for that, guys. I have passed on the info and link! I've heard Brits say "shejool" for "schedule." So "sizm" for "schism" isn't too far off, I suppose.
Farin Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 in German "sch" is pronounced "sh", maybe that's where it's coming from
Lucky Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 "Sh" ism is how I would pronounce it.
