What the **** is a 'pendraised'!!!!! It's driving me crazy!


You see it a lot when someone is translating using Google translate and then posting the results directly. What is weird about it, when you google 'pendraised', most of the first page results.. are Eve threads.

I see a French translation of pendrais which is to hang or droop.. which makes absolutely no sense when looking a the context of those posts..

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Two questions, not trolling, please don't think I am, but I'm linguistically interested in the word "pendraise", what does it mean? Did you invent it? It doesn't figure or hit anything on Google.

Also, 110KB is super fast? Where do you live? I've got 10MB/10MB (80Mbit/80Mbit) and that's considered medium-high end where I live..

Unsuccesful at everything but giving us some relief when faced with intolerable linguistic conundrums ;)

Further investigation shows that almost all uses of the term 'pendraising'..ever.. except for a couple exceptions by some Spanish or Portugese guy on twitter.. are by Elena Ranning.

Also, it appears that penderias is commonly misspelled as pendraise, which seems to have many meanings

Quote:
to drop · to bend · to hang · to bag · to tend · to overhang · to droop · to dangle · to pend · to impend · to be suspended · to hang up


At this point, I think ill let it go. Im sure Elena has gotten her snickers over this as it is.

Could qctually be france. I heard they have mostly crappy connections,
at least that's what the french people I know told me.

Post the word along with the sentence (for context) in the "Eve Fiction" section of the forums and say it's sleeper origin. They'll crack the meaning in no time. After seeing how they got to the meaning of Oruze Osobnyk, I'm fairly confident they'll have no trouble with "pendraised".Shocked
