Actually that's Olde English - the mother tongue of Chaucer and Cædmon. The word "loder" refers to a small side table of rough hewn wood. "nerde gay" is a kind of bouqet or "nosegay." So what he's saying there is that he considers your stuff a virtual bouquet on his bedside table. It's quite complimentary, actually. - Leo Laporte

It speaks for itself, doesn't it :-) - Duncan Riley

Ask him if his 'e' key is stuck on his keyboard... - Johnny

I like Leo's translation. Very astute to the Native tongue of "I need to learn proper grammar." - Gerard Lagana

Remember, insults from idiots should be taken as compliments. In this case, a very high compliment indeed. - AJ Kohn

Sorry Leo I think you will find it was someone writing phonetically in their accent. "Nerde Gay" = "Naughty Guy" - Jim Stewart

I like Leo's take, but this neither that, nor Old English, nor Engrish. This is a very unique dialect known as Old Engrish. - Juan Aguilar from twhirl

I believe Leo is right on this one. I also believe you should make a video thanking the poster for the compliment. - Joe "The Enforcer" Pierce

LOL... i had a hard time reading that... seriously. - AJ Batac (/-_-)

Ah, you're partially right, Leo. I thought he was employing the classic ablative usage of "nerde," which would have laid his candor in a radically different climate. It's also interesting to note that "face" is pronounced with a soft 'c' - like "Beardface" on NBC's Scrubs. And if I'm not mistaken, he was referring to the rare Norwegian "loder" - which is made of ivory, not wood. - Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ Ⓟⓘⓡⓘⓛⓛⓞ

Leo's comment only added to the beauty of it. But what worries me is that some day, that illiterate buffoon who sent the comment might be in a position of responsibility. *shudder* - Lucretia Pruitt

I live in the Philippines, where neo-Luddites reign. You won't believe how often I get that sort of antitech BS. - Mike Abundo
