Now really,who would want to give you one?

Hmmm... not really (in Finnish, that is). For instance when I think of (made up) words like:

kapa
kappa (this actually is a Finnish word, meaning "pelmet/valance/gallon/vault cell" according to Google translate; nothing to do with overcoats here)
kaapa
kaappa

Only in the last two the vowel(s) before p would be long. So if you compare "kapa" and kaapa", in the latter one the the first "a" is pronounced longer because... well, there are two a's after all. :)

(Maybe some Finnish linguistic would come to correct me and claim that the "a" in kappa is indeed a bit shorter than in "kapa", but I say hogwash, the difference, if any, would be minuscule.)

so this went from a hissy fit
to zero fucks given
to food
to linguistics

will we go to linguini next ?

Add,zero snowkatt.

OK!

I always read it like "Capture" but said by someone from Massachusetts (think Peter Griffin in family guy)

But maybe that's just me?

Also, on topic. I don't get the reCaptcha either (when I actually test it, I generally just don't log out) so I have no idea what the OP is talking about; they're clearly a robot.

All-right, so I gained a little bit of knowledge about a foreign language today, knowledge that replaced a faulty assumption. Awesome.

And in Japan it's a water demon that rides cucumbers and sucks your soul out through your bum ;)

As for English making things more complicated, I don't think that can be helped. The language is such a mishmash of other languages with so many exceptions to word laws. For instance a mnemonic often taught in schools is: I before E except after C.... well there's a lot of common words that don't follow that rule such as neighbour, height, weight and Protein.

In those words, you actually pronounce both the e and i though (though the sounds may differ from what's common), in "ceiling" and "niece" you don't.
The mnemonic is rather more of a guide for when the order is less certain from the pronunciation rather than a rule applicable in all cases.

So what if it was a fire demon that rides bananas and sucks your soul through your nostrils instead? Would it be called "Kappu"?

I'm amazed how much information a short Japanese word can contain! Just joking, but how do the Asians come up with such characters that they have even names for them? Like in Thailand they have this one type of demon who apparently is a woman whose internals (liver, kidneys, stomach etc.) are showing out in the open (maybe they even radiate light), it levitates over the ground, and eats... I don't recall, either human beings or corpses or both.

Wow what imagination they have in Asia... the best we can come up here is some trolls and gnomes, at best.

thats the krasue or the penanlanggan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasue

they are cursed to be perpetually hungry and will devour ANYTHING

I don't know, maybe that kind of thing is commonplace (mythologically speaking, obvious they're not just running about like rats in Japan) there and they find the idea of trolls and gnomes etc. that we have here unusual...

Besides, Western mythologies have some pretty fun things too. For example this one from Finnish mythology, which to quote that wiki page is;
"It is also said that although Näkki is very beautiful from the front, his backside is hairy and extremely ugly. Other stories tell that a Näkki is an ugly "fishman" which can at will turn itself into a beautiful woman who either is extremely voluptuous or has three breasts or alternatively into a silvery fish, horse or a hound, which are only ways to lure his unwary prey to the water"

There are some odd Norse ones too, and the whole range of things like Satyrs and Succubus which are quite odd when you really think about it...

"GAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh!!"

P.S. Yes, they need to fuck off with that captcha shite, especially now there's the two step log in thing.
Thanks to the retards at captcha central (or google or wtf) I can no longer log into GOG site on my mobile, because it thinks my browser is out of date, when it's the latest version.

Welp, guess that means less stuff bought when I'm out 'n' about ;p
