Isn’t that the beauty of a great many (general) languages?

The VNCP kills Hitler, then takes over and conquers the world! Also the beauty of English is that you can make up words as you go along

I should have said English was too confusing and ambiguous. That was partially my fault though. I was writing in stream of consciousness (or trying). That is… definitely confusing.

VNCP… Awesome. Can the parrot be cyborg too? And can this VNCP get to shoot Hitler in the face?

English is my native language, but I am taking a symbolic logic course. And now I cannot stop thinking about First Order Logic. Awesome(vampireninjapirate). NinjaZombieParrot(parrotpolly(zombieninjapirate)). Evidently I still need to get the hang of it.

And I bet that there are some things we do not have proper words for, and remember of those 2 million, there are basically some repeats, with slightly different connotations, or even meaning exactly the same thing.

Canuovea, I refuse to believe a language with a vocabulary of over two million words is not specific enough.

As for your VNP, what if we added cyborg? The VNCP! Vampires can not cross running water, the bottom of a ship movies though it, so if he stayed down there he would be fine.

Out of curiosity, what is your native language?

Wm Tanksley: Interesting point. It seems that Chaospet has inadvertently (or intentionally? I don’t know!) maybe created something more awesome then just a ninja-pirate. A vampire ninja-pirate.

Being a ninja he can hide in the shadows during broad daylight, so no bursting into flames! And maybe a parrot that could also be a vampire parrot, or maybe zombie parrot is better, because then it won’t burst into flames (it isn’t a ninja parrot so it can’t hide from sunlight… Hmm… Ninja zombie parrot…). There could be one problem though… does the ocean count as running water? Because if so that could mean no sailing for the VNP (I am NOT writing that out again), after all vampires cannot cross running water. But sailing isn’t crossing… and… you know what? I’ll stop. English just isn’t specific enough. And I am not going to try writing that in First Order Logic.
