- What's the difference between spirit, phantom and ghost?
- Plus, the spell for steal, steel and still?
I miss the sound of MPU-401. it's not compatible with vista.
In my midwestern US accent, still is not pronounced anything like steel. Steal and Steel are indistinguishable.
Spirit is the essence of a living thing.
Phantom is an illusion of something that's not actually there.
Ghost is the spirit of something after it has died.
I'll use the last three in a sentence: I'm still stealing steel from the metal factory.

No, you used "stealing", not "steal". Let's try with a question: Do you still steal steel from the metal factory?
I'd be very confused when hearing that.
Do you still steal from the steel still?
This is x100 funnier than my 'The Facts of Life' post.
Do you steel still steel from the steel metal factory?
Uh... actually, a metal isn't "made" on factories (the metal factory), but extracted from the ground or some natural resource, as far as I can tell you.
- Plus, "The skull in my school is cool". ^_^;;
Why are you telling us what we already know?
Steel is an alloy the most basic formula is iron hardened with carbon makeing it stonger although more britle (modern steel is often made useing outher elements as well) it is not natural and is produced in a forge
I thought steel was iron w/ extracted carbon...I guess I phail at remembering my sleels still!:P

Fair enough, I agree.
I always learnt Phantom (french) = Ghost (english). I didn't know the world Phantom existed at all in english (exept a particular enemy in Final Fantasy, whose names are inspired by many languages anyways). English sometimes have richier vocabulary than french !
English is what you get when you take Frisian and French and toss them in a blender.

No it's what you get when you toss all languages in a blender.
