isizulu.net Google Chrome not supported

[Pooky]

WTF look at the messageon isizulu.net 's page when browsing with Chrome....

"Please use a serious browser..."

This is ridiculous, it always used to work perfectly with Chrome.

I suppose they think Internet Explorer is a serious browser...

[hungrybeaver]

wtf

The website isn't fancy either, so whats their problem?

[ghoti]

Could they please use a serious developer.

I wouldnt touch that web developer with Apache`s computer.

[Pooky]

What I don't get is that it used to work perfectly fine...

Now they boot off Chrome users and tell them their browser sucks.

[B.K]

www.isizulu.net gives me the "isiZulu.net disregards Google Chrome. Please use a serious browser." message, but if it try isiZulu.net with out the www. I get in......

Crappy site!

The word in English is Zulu.

isiZulu is a Zulu word, if that makes sense.

[Pooky]

The word in English is Zulu.

isiZulu is a Zulu word, if that makes sense.


...and?

[Freshy-ZN]

The word in English is Zulu.

isiZulu is a Zulu word, if that makes sense.

Amen brother! this is a pet peeve of mine. When speaking English and referring to the language its Zulu. Example: "Are you speaking Zulu?" NOT " Are you speaking isiZulu?"

We dont called French Francais in English, we call it French.

[rorz0r]

It works fine in Opera so I don't see the problem... Maybe you should try using a serious browser.

[saksakgp]

Chill peeps. 'isi' is a Zulu prefix that is kind of equivalent to the word 'the' in English. Don't fight over such things.

[Pooky]

This thread wasn't about that anyway, it was about the website being silly.

[Lounger]

This thread wasn't about that anyway, it was about the website being silly.
and the website is called ...?

[saksakgp]

m.isizulu.net

[Pooky]

Now look what they say!


Google Chrome not welcome

isiZulu.net disregards Google. Please choose a different vendor.

It's not a technical issue. It's a personal statement against a growing number of "services" designed to trample on privacy and monopolize the web.

[Rosaudio]

Oh yes, the majority of the worlds internet population are going to stop using chrome now because they cant access isiZulu anymore.

[JungleBoy]

The word in English is Zulu.

isiZulu is a Zulu word, if that makes sense.

isi - denotes that you are referring to the language as opposed to just Zulu which might be referring to anything Zulu i.e. land, people, etc.
It's like referring to the language from Poland as just Pole instead of Polish

By the way Zulu alone is pretty meaningless unless it is properly qualified with a prefix.
isiZulu - language of the Zulu
kwaZulu - Place of the Zulu
amaZulu - the people of KwaZulu

What's even more bizarre is, according to the contact page, he ignores all emails from gmail addresses:


For anything else not covered by the forum you can send me an e-mail. It should exhibit
at least a minimum of common courtesy and orthography skills. Please note that I will
silently ignore translation requests sent by e-mail and e-mails sent from Gmail are
(itentionally) rejected by my mail filter.
(sic)

When you're being pedantic you really should spell check your own web pages.

[rorz0r]

Just lol... Clearly a webmaster with an overinflated sense of self-importance...

[Rosaudio]

Sounds like a twat

100% if you are speaking Zulu. If you are speaking English the context gives the word meaning.

[sanimoyo]

It rocks, definitely a great way to attract some attention, bad business move though, it's closing your service station to all Toyotas

[Ol' Mean Bastid]

I stumbled across that site a couple of weeks ago whilst looking for a Zulu translation

my first thought: "what a dick"

my current thinking after reflecting on it for a couple of weeks: "what a dick" :p
