Hey /prog/,
I know you normally don't give do other peoples homework, but I just can't get this to compile and its due tomorrow. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is?

I don't even care about the "GRUNNUR" in the post, why the hell do people write stuff like this? As if proving that, because you have two brain cells capable of comprehending that no one cares about what you're posting, they magically will start caring.
Incidentally, the same kind of shit always shows up on /b/, with stupid posts like "hack this myspace[1], in before not your personal army[2]". I would expect such illogical nonsense there, but this is not /b/, and I'm still holding out hope that, the average poster here has the three brain cells required to realize that proving that you're aware that people don't care doesn't change that fact.
I'll even overlook the GLARING grammatical error in >>1's sentence if someone can explain this to me.

Actually IHNBT. It was merely >>1's post which prompted me to transcribe my thoughts; this has been on my mind for some time now.

Try this instead.

"GRUNNUR"
;
Einingin GRUNNUR er samsett úr mörgum öðrum einingum. Hverri þessara eininga er lýst í undirka a
í þessum ka a. Grunnurinn er ansi stór eining og inniheldur eiri stef en est forrit nota. Það er því oft
ástæða til að nota minni grunn en þann sem fylgir Fjölni. Notandi Fjölnis getur smíðað sinn eigin grunn ef
hann vill, eða notað beint þær einingar sem grunnurinn er samsettur úr. Í myndinni hér að neðan er sýnt
hvernig einingarnar í grunninum tengjast saman, þ.e.a.s. hvernig einingarnar kalla á stef úr hver annarri. Þar
má t.d. sjá að ef nota þarf eininguna INN þá þarf einnig að ytja inn einingarnar UT, SNUA, LESALINU
og DOSSKRIU. Auk þess þarf nærri alltaf að ytja inn eininguna KJARNI, eða einhverja einingu sem
inniheldur þá einingu, t.d. GRUNNUR, þar eð lang estar einingar vísa í einhver kjarnastef. Við köllum
eininguna KJARNI kjarnann og eininguna GRUNNUR grunninn og stef í kjarnanum köllum við kjarnastef,
og stef í grunninum grunnstef.
That code kind of reminds me of the time around ten years ago I needed to modify C code written by some French asshole who had written all the comments and named all the variables and functions in French. Back then I swore I will only use English for my comments and naming, no matter what.
Is there English documentation available for Fjölnir? I'm appalled by the lack of FREE SOFTWARE — FREE AS IN FREEDOM* Fjölnir implementations, and I'd like to fix this glaring issue.
* Free software is a matter of freedom: people should be free to use software in all the ways that are socially useful. Software differs from material objects—such as chairs, sandwiches, and gasoline—in that it can be copied and changed much more easily. These possibilities make software as useful as it is; we believe software users should be able to make use of them.

The ANONIX team is working on a free implementation of "Fjölnir" as we speak. You may expect a working implementation as soon as version 1.0 is released to the public.

I've been able to figure out this much:
ef annarsef annars eflok := if elseif else endif
Can I get a "GRUNNUR"?
I didn't hear ya! I said, Can I get a "GRUNNUR"?
I didn't hear ya! I said, Can I get a "GRUNNUR"?

I remember I once downloaded this program that was about 200KB for the executable and 8MB of messages and help files in a dozen different languages. I promptly deleted that shit, as the executable itself was in English anyway.

English has more redundant vocabulary than any other language currently spoken. It has nearly complete Romance and Germanic vocabularies sitting side by side.

Yeah, it's more or less just a rag-tag collection of useful bits of other languages

at least it doesn't have stupid male and female bullshit like other languages have, i would rather say table than memorize weather table is masculine or feminine.

I think /prog/ could stand to supplement its SICP readings with some Chomsky1.
footnotes:
1. I am, of course, referring to his ground-breaking work in linguistics, not his (more notorious) political writings.

It still has different words for addressing men and women in third person.

yes, but i don't have to remember that table is un table instead of une table, in english its JUST A FUCKING TABLE.
I read. You read. He reads. They read.
I am fucking. You are fucking. He is fucking. They are fucking. What the fuck is this bullshit!!!?
Moreover, English is a travesty against phonemic orthography. And hey, here's an idea, why don't we inflect words based on what language they originate from? That couldn't possibly be a bad idea, now could it?

English, with a slightly reformed spelling and verb morphology, would be the ultimate language.

I propose spelling English completely phonetically. Yes, that means spellings will be different for every speaker. No, that's not a problem.
