The language is called 'Finnish', yes, but the same word can also be used as an adjective describing what nationality one is of. It's pretty easy in English because there's only one word to denote the nationality, there are three different languages spoken in Finland that I know of, and at least in Finnish and Swedish there are different terms for a person depending on which language is ones native.

I told you someone from Wales is a whale. Thanks MEDEFE for backing me up.

I did not back you up, I just didn't comment on it, I actually think it would be a Welsh person, not sure what the language would be called... possibly Gaelic.

I did not back him up on someone from Wales being a whale. Don't get any weird ideas, the rest looks correct to me.

Oh no, you can't say that you're a Finlandian. If you're from England you're English, Finland your Finnish, or Wales then your a whale.

Likewise, it is also the name of their language.
If you are English then you speak English...
Finland you speak Finnish....
Wale you speak Whale.....

There's just dualality there....

Hey! My ancestors were from Wales...

I hereby dost request entry of this humble and righteous organisation/sect.

I dunno... how do we know that your an Athiest?

Because once, while in a village on the outskirts of Poitier and after several hours of unsuccessful hitch-hiking, I urinated on a Statue of the Virgin Mary that had been erected at the site of a fatal car-crash.

I'd offer further evidence, but I think that ought to be sufficient.

Also, he's coo'.

Well why didn't you say so? IN!

Yay!!!

Holy hell, is this thread getting big. I'm not even checking any of the forums besides ours, I'd rather not spend all day, every day, going through lines of text like this. Besides, if they're in GH, I know they're good people.... or at least good enough.
