ericlmfaohey guys19:55
ericlmfaowhen do you attach multi to a word?19:55
[thor]ericlmfao: when there are multiple uses for an item; multi-tool  ( journeyman, or swiss army knife )20:01
ericlmfaooh20:02
ericlmfaoi didnt mean that, excuse me20:02
[thor]that isn't the only use of that prefix20:02
ericlmfaoi mean when do u write multiplayer or multi(space)(insert word here, idk any)20:02
ericlmfaoi am doubting to add multi to a noun or separate it or add it with a dash: -20:03
[thor]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/multi20:03
ericlmfaoi still dont understand :(20:04
[thor]it is interchangeable for the most part20:05
[thor]a combining form meaning “many,” “much,” “multiple,” “many times,” “more than one,” “more than two,” “composed of many like parts,” “in many respects,” used in the formation of compound words: multiply; multivitamin.20:06
ericlmfaoso just attach it to the noun?20:06
[thor]so you can have a multi-use room filled with multicolored balloons, which you pop using your multi-tool20:06
ericlmfao><20:07
ericlmfaowhat if u wanna use multi with a word that doesnt exist when u add multi to it? it's not available in the dictionary20:07
[thor]which is: a room that has many uses, filled with balloons of many different colors, whcih you pop using a tool that has many uses.20:07
[thor]ericlmfao: what is this mystery word?20:09
ericlmfaoim afraid i cant reveal it becuz ill use it as a username20:09
[thor]hah20:12
[thor]then i'm sure it doesn't matter if it is grammatically correct.20:13
ericlmfaowell the username cant have any - or spaces20:13
ericlmfaoso itll be attached anyways20:13
[thor]nobody starts a proper word with [, as far as i know20:13
[thor]this is a non-issue20:14
