I got up at 11:30. Quite late for this week's standards, quite early for the last one's.
At least, for once, I enjoyed 9 whole hours of sleep.

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

I've never seen 12:30 expressed as "half twelve" so to me it sounded like a needlessly complicated way of saying six.

Half past twelve shortened to half twelve

It's really common to hear it in the UK and Ireland

I would call it half past twelve or twelve thirty.

I never use analog time. The system in English so so needlessly complex.

I agree. The Greek is less complex, although things like "thirty-five past" look better than "twenty-five to" in all languages.

Nice new Hetalia theme, who is this one?

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

Spain, as is obvious from the User title and signature. Haven't you noticed that every theme has the nations name in its native language? That will probably be a pain with Switzerland, Belgium etc. I have to think. I didn't do French for Canada, so I dunno.

EDIT: Looking it up, Canada is Canada in French, so I technically did do it.

At the time I wrote it the usertitle was not yet changed :)
Yup, it even worked for Canada. You can either not theme Switzerland/Belgium or include all names in the usertitle (for Sw. it may be hard).

Or I could pull the same stunt as Swiss banknotes and write it in Latin.

Oh, that sounds like a pretty clever Swiss stunt.
I call it like-worthy.

And all three Belgian languages fit! :D

She won't be themed for a while though, because she's a she. XD

Now, what other multilingual countries are in Hetalia...

Wait, Belgium has three languages? wikiwalking boots activate

Someone's sticking to their all-male streak... OK.

The are not many remaining multilingual countries in the entire world, not just Hetalia.

We seriously need to find other ways to show sarcasm besides Comic Sans.

I think we do. Emoticons etc.

btw, this looks like a wallposting error or something.

It is an error, and it never happened. I'll pay you to keep your mouth shut

The mods can see it. I have quoted it. How much?

Of course the mods can see it. I leave funny messages in my accidental posts, but I was too lazy to leave one there. :p
