Played football in the rain today. The best!

Having a bubble-tea-tapioca-ball-fight in the rain is even more fun.

How do you play that?
Today, there were heavy rains & therefore all trains got delayed. And since most of the people in my college travel by trains, many lectures had to be cancelled today :D .
The railways run my college ;)

Use straws to shoot tapioca balls at each other. Repeat ad nauseum, literally.

Ad nauseam.
Slept till 11am today.

I hate Latin. It ****ed me up badly.

Today I sat till 6pm in the Reading Hall & studied something (after a very long time). Usually, I don't get time to do anything beyond homework.
Latin script is the same as the English scrip, right?

Technically, English and other European languages are written in Latin script.

I know that, but is the English & Latin script exactly same? Cause the Devanagari script need not be the same for different languages.

There are minor additions to the Latin script made during the medieval and renaissance periods, such as adding the the letter W to handle a sound that doesn't occur in Latin and the splitting of the vowels I and U as being different from the consonants J and V rather than merely different ways of writing them (prior to this, they were treated somewhat similar to the letter Y, which can be a consonant or a vowel depending on circumstances).
Certain other languages have added various diacritic marks and letter variants - accents in French, the umlaut in Germanic languages, and the letter Ø in certain North Germanic languages (technically it's a different letter entirely, rather than an O with a diacritic mark, but whatever..).

How do you know all this? ....

Or did you just look it all up?

I looked up the added letters to make sure my memory was correct. The diacritic stuff was entirely from memory. I have no idea how or why I know any of it. I just do.

Oh that's typical. =P

Nero, just because you're stupid and ignorant, doesn't mean everyone else is. :P

Spoken entirely jokingly, of course. <3

Very.
The Devanagari script is somewhat like that too. Only many languages which originally stemmed from it took a different path & are now written very differently(hardly recognizable). The Brahmi/Indic script is divided into many groups & each group is very different from the others.

Anyone going to see the 6th Harry Potter film?

Moi, of course.

Yeah.
