Darth Grate
Darth Sane
Darth Capacitated



and, my favorite....

I am also of the opinion that, since according to the illustrious dictionary:

<b>In</b>- () An inseparable prefix, or particle, meaning not, non-, un- as, inactive, incapable, inapt. In- regularly becomes il- before l, ir- before r, and im- before a labial.

and since

<b>Labial</b> (<i>n.</i>) A letter or character representing an articulation or sound formed or uttered chiefly with the lips, as b, p, w.

Howrad must hereby be granted the usage of Darth Potent and Darth Becile! (it <u>should</u> be Inbecile, but convention dictates the "Im")

Darth Who... Time Lord of the Sith?

Aw, Darth Sane was one I came up with, too. I guess I'll have to find some others to put up....

Has anyone done Darth Significant?

(Darth nards...beurk.)

well, if you follow the dictionary link i posted, it has 5090-some-odd "in"-words. =]

Darth Formant - Sith spy!

what the heck. here's a list of all the ones my dictionary munching program spit out.

poor Darth Digent. can't get anything he needs...

Not to mention Darth Trovert. He doesn't get along with any of the clones.

This process is called assimilation; when a sound changes to be closer to an adjacent sound. For example, the word assimilate is really ad-similate. (Ad- "to, towards"; similate "make similar") It's not convention, though, that makes inbecile into imbecile; it's linguistic change and part of English. No one ever says inbecile.

Thus, as much as I would like to use im- words, they technically don't follow the convention.

Ooooooooooh, reeeeeeeeeelly, Jer?

Who died and made you Sheriff of Linguistics, hah?
Just because you're POTUS and a Janitor doesn't mean you get to make up all the rules.

You're not the boss of me.

Darth Subordination will never achieve a status above Janitor.

Some people here are definitely running for Darth Pedant.

(Call me Darth Comprehensible.)

Him. *points to dead body in corner, who's wearing a Sheriff of Linguistics badge, which Jer takes*



I'm afraid I do get to make all the rules, as this is now the United States of Calvinball.

um... english is made up of one huge fuzzball of conventions.

<b>Convention</b> (v. i.) General agreement or concurrence; arbitrary custom; usage; conventionality.

it's a convention that "in" becomes "in" in front of some letters. inbecile inbecile inbecile! however, it's <b>not</b> consistent with the original "Darth {in}Concusive" convention.

Whether the in/im convention overrides the Darth convention is a matter of what you choose to believe...

just trying to give people the benefit of the doubt and then you come in, being all negative...

How dare you question my Darth Telligence!

Darth Voluntary.
Darth Terpret.
Darth Ane.
Darth Dulge.
Darth Volute.
Darth Testine.
Darth Censed.

Umm, POTUS, I am the 'secatary of offence'. I get to do the breaking things and hurting people. If I catch you infringing (Darth Fringe, anyone?) on my job again, you can expect some job action from my union. And the Breaking Things and Hurting People Union does some pretty outrageous job action.

Well, he HAS changed it to the United States of Calvinball, I guess that means he can make whatever rules he wants.

Well, then I'll just have to strike.

Ooh! and what about Darth Conspicuous?

As for Darth Maul, I would assume that the rule was inverted, and his root name is Maulin' or Clarence. That would make any evil being angry.
