_Schwarzlicht_ 08/10/17 7:14:41 AM #3:	Any English/grammar smarties know why this is? Words like be-lovd/be-luh-ved are different because one is an adjective and one's a noun, but this one's an adjective in both ways. Is it just because the first sentence is phrased in an older-sounding way, so we go with the fancy pronunciation of cursed? That was my guess, but hmm yes, sehr interessant. --- What if you're PVP'ing and your opponent has the same outfit as you?! HOW EMBARASSING! <cite>_Schwarzlicht_ posted [p:884514524] in Read this ...

Ulyanyx 08/11/17 10:52:25 PM #4:	yes to both, not because of "upon" but because from what i know of grammar, it just makes more sense to read it as "kur-sid" rather than "kurst" in the way the sentences are formed, now, if you write: "That throne is cursed" i read it as "kurst" --- Sober from Alcohol since August 4th 2017 <cite>Ulyanyx posted [p:884621303] in Read this ...
