I believe it's homogenization at play.

So "Should Not" becomes "Shouldn't" as that's how people begin to say it, dropping unnecessary letters and words in speech and translating it to writing over time.

However Learnt is not "Learn not" it's "I was taught and so I learnt to do this." or alternative "Learned to do this" I am not sure what the origin of this the "ed" or "nt" sound for this however. Learned, came from the "a learned (learn-ed) person" phrase that was popular in ye-olde English.

I suspect it's an accent thing translated into writing, but who knows.

So has not evolved from negatives.

Amusingly "Ye-Olde" is literally just The Old, as we used to have character called Thorn for the "Th" sound, this went out of practice during the invention of type writers as people just used Y instead of the original yt character. (Thorn was literally a Y with a tiny little t of top)

7808th!

Had a fairly good day scanning, found five data sites three relic sites and a couple of big Combat Sites I could fit my Drake in and a few little ones a tanky Astero drone boat could do. Make more isk off clearing event sites though honestly. But was fun.

Officer Mods never drop for me, plenty of faction ammo though!

Officer mods? They are purple, they drop only from officers in spawns in null.
They are nasty battleships and have strange names, and the named module they drop is called officer module.

As for DED sites, you can get some Faction (blood,sansha,gurista,serpentis) mods and ship blueprints, and deadspace (blue "+" tag) modules. And overseer personal effects for sure.

Welcome! Haven't seen you around here.

Welcome to the Hotel Likefornia,
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel Likefornia
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my Like"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

Hm, looks like a mix of some people that frequented around here.

Or maybe I'm just seeing things that are not there. Shocked
