And, what do you guys here think, should Croatia change its alphabet? The Glagolitic alphabet, which Croatia used to use until the 17th century, seems rather nice. The Devanagari "alphabet", if you ask me, looks even nicer, and it seems to me it doesn't need to be modified much to fit the Croatian language well.
Glagolitic alphabet: ⰁⰋⰕⰍⰀ ⰈⰀ ⰂⰖⰍⰑⰂⰀⰓ ⰐⰉⰅ ⰔⰅ ⰄⰑⰃⰑⰄⰋⰎⰀ! Devanagari alphabet: ब्इत्कअ ज़ व्उक्ओवर् न्इय्ए स्ए द्ओग्ऑद्इलअ! The Korean "alphabet" (Hangul) is also interesting, however, it seems to me it should be modified quite a bit to fit Croatian well. 비ᄐ카 ᅀᅡ 우코와ᄅ 니예 세 도고디라! There is no difference between 'r' and 'l', and there is also no sign specifically for the 'z' sound (though there is a sign for 'dz', which I suppose can be used instead). Not to mention the Croatian-specific 'č' and 'ć' sounds, or even the 'sh' sound.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
At work.
I'd just like to point out that Latin, as such, is indeed a 'Norwegian Parrot' now only good for pining for the fjords or describing technical jargon. Go learn/look up 'Esperanto' for a wonderful attempt at artificially creating a linguistic panacea. Why cultures speak what they do harkens back to "Woe the vanquished". Civil aviation is in English. Music is in Italian. Whom ever does it firstest with the mostest pretty much gets to set the ground rules. Cheers. RE: Battle of Vukovar

We confiscated a lot of your guns.
That and...I don’t know if you knew this, but a lot of the trouble starting assholes in the region are dead. We’re still full up. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's way easier to get a gun legally in Switzerland than in the USA, yet there are many more mass shootings per capita in the USA than in Switzerland. And Željko Ražnatović was killed by one of his own soldiers, not by NATO.
And what do you guys here think, how should people from Vukovar be called in English? Should they be called "Vukovarians"? Or, considering they call themselves "Vukovarčani" in Croatian, should they be called "Vukovarchanis"? Or considering that the singular form of "Vukovarčani" is "Vukovarčanin", should they then be called "Vukovarchanins"?

Fascists are denying the Holocaust, or, in Croatia, Jasenovac, they are far-right. Fascists are dignifying Vukovar, they are celebrating it. I am denying Vukovar Massacre. Denying Vukovar Massacre, in Croatia at least, is far-left. So, I am the exact opposite of a fascist, am I not? Vukovar denial goes well together with Bleiburg denial, rather than with Jasenovac denial, right? |
