Because it's spelled with an 'o', and I've never seen it spelled any other way, anywhere, ever. Until now, that is.

Correctly it's spelled with an 'e': NEStalgia.

Wouldn't it be pronounced Nah-Stahl-Gee-Oh if that were the case?

This is just one of a million examples how much of a flop the English launguage is. Break enough of the language's flimsy rules and you'll beable to pronounce ghoti "fish," gh as in enough, o as in "women," and ti as in "action." I know the rules of the english language are sturdier than that, but, seriously. (It's not just pronounciation! English grammer is an epic fail as well; most languages tell us what the object is before they define its apearrence, which makes sense, as we want to know what it is first (ie: cat brown); but in english, NoooOOOooo. We have to mention the appearence of the object first. (ie: brown cat).

English is just weird, that's all.

I think that these people were saying that nostalgia is not spelled nastalgia, which means that it should be pronounced nos-tal-gee-ah, but it's pronounced the way it is instead.

Sorry about the double post, but this post isn't worthy of a new topic.

GARG KEEN

MONEY KEEN

Maybe the Garg eyes should start in front, not in the back of the helmet. Let them start right above the mouth. Now it looks a bit like a SlugKeen.

Here's 2 more emotikeens. I made these two a few months back, then forgot they existed. They don't have transparency, because as it is I'm too lazy to implement that and MSPaint doesn't let me do that.

- Comrade Keen

- Hippie Keen

Just out of curiosity, will any of these emotikeens we're all making be added to the current emotikeen collection?

I don't personally care much if they aren't...they're fun to make either way.

Likely, that's a yes.
