| ericlmfao | hey guys | 19:55 |

| ericlmfao | when 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 |
| ericlmfao | oh | 20:02 |
| ericlmfao | i didnt mean that, excuse me | 20:02 |
| [thor] | that isn't the only use of that prefix | 20:02 |
| ericlmfao | i mean when do u write multiplayer or multi(space)(insert word here, idk any) | 20:02 |
| ericlmfao | i 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/multi | 20:03 |
| ericlmfao | i still dont understand :( | 20:04 |
| [thor] | it is interchangeable for the most part | 20:05 |
| [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 |
| ericlmfao | so 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-tool | 20:06 |
| ericlmfao | >< | 20:07 |
| ericlmfao | what if u wanna use multi with a word that doesnt exist when u add multi to it? it's not available in the dictionary | 20:07 |
| [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 |
| ericlmfao | im afraid i cant reveal it becuz ill use it as a username | 20:09 |
| [thor] | hah | 20:12 |
| [thor] | then i'm sure it doesn't matter if it is grammatically correct. | 20:13 |
| ericlmfao | well the username cant have any - or spaces | 20:13 |
| ericlmfao | so itll be attached anyways | 20:13 |
| [thor] | nobody starts a proper word with [, as far as i know | 20:13 |
| [thor] | this is a non-issue | 20:14 |
| ericlmfao | thx for helping thor | 20:14 |
| [thor] | :D np | 20:14 |
| ericlmfao | thor | 20:25 |
| ericlmfao | how about this | 20:25 |
| ericlmfao | multiwallet | 20:26 |
| ericlmfao | normally u only have 1 right | 20:26 |
| ericlmfao | but it'd be nice to have multiples :D | 20:26 |
| ericlmfao | provided they're filled with money | 20:26 |
| palomer | hello | 20:32 |
| palomer | I just did a daily update | 20:32 |
| palomer | and now my fonts and icon have changed | 20:32 |
| [thor] | ericlmfao: i would assume a multiwallet would be many attached wallets, perhaps sewn together, or recursively nested. | 20:39 |
| ericlmfao | ok | 20:40 |
| palomer | ok, now my emacs doesn't really work | 20:41 |
