| == HWC; Andrews' Word List ==
| | {{Farmer}} |
| These are the parameters I use when rewriting what he says. Have fun!
| |
|
| |
|
| * Single numbers. ("Two-zero-mike" instead of "twenty million")
| |
| * Single letters. He can't combine them though ('Naomi' would come as "En-Ay-Oh-Em-Yi) so he just avoids them.
| |
| * The NATO phonetic alphabet (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet ). Interestingly enough, he can't use those words for anything ''else'' (cant say 'golf' to refer the game). Except when they are in the other word lists.
| |
| * The Basic English word list, as found in http://ogden.basic-english.org/words.html
| |
| ** He can verb any word, but not tense them
| |
| ** -s plurals allowed
| |
| ** 'Agenting' (-r and -er suffix) not allowed.
| |
| * Military / Air Force jargon
| |
| ** If a word can be replaced with one from the Basic Word List, he uses the Basic one ('state' instead of 'status'; I slipped in No Animals Were Harmed)
| |
| ** If a word is too useful outside military meaning, its not jargon.
| |
| ** If a word has a meaning specific enough / is too useful / is too much part of the Air Force culture, he knows it ('Wingman')
| |
| ** He can say every military rank, but not every military position (an officer at Logistics would probably come out as 'Transport Lieutenant')
| |
| ** He can say air force slang. So far, he just chose not to.
| |
| ** 'Sir' and 'Ma'am'.
| |
| For the record, these are some of his known words. I'll add more as the list grows.
| |
| : Wingman, Flank, Sat (from satellite), Acknowledged (ACK, radio)
| |
|
| |
| Andrews has assembled a vocab of concepts he needed words for. Feel free to let this list grow.
| |
| *'''Fire-death Gun'''; The firehose.
| |
| *'''Fire Authority''': The Firemen Corps. ''The Authority'' by itself usually means ''The Police''.
| |
| *'''The Beautiful Game''': Soccer. Don't take it as him being a soccer fan; I added here mostly to show possibilities, as its an actual term for the game he can use (even if its rarely used).
| |
|
| |
| It IS of note...
| |
| * ... that Andrews is a native English speaker, and can understand perfectly anything that is said to him.
| |
| * ... that he knows he's working with a limited set of words, and works around it.
| |
| * ... that he speaks brokenly on purpose. The why is left to speculation.
| |
| * ... that he can use any word he knows with any meaning he can think of, except for the NATO phonetic alphabet thing.
