One mustn’t be too careful. After all, the subject which must not be mentioned must not be mentioned or else he who must not be named will be most displeased. Great things will happen, terrible yes but great.
So playing chess doesn't make you a nerd?
True enough.
I mean, playing chess doesn’t make you a nerd. Being good at chess does 
Hmm. I think that you shouldn’t respect someone more just because they happened to be born earlier than you. Everyone deserves your respect to a certain extent, but age shouldn’t be a factor. If some 50 y/o is being rude to me, you’d better believe I’m going to be rude back. (my opinion 
)
Also, a good rating for me is around 1500-1600 club. Rating is subjective, though, so it depends. An 800 is trash to a 1200, who is trash to a 1500, who is trash to a 2000. It depends.

No one really knows what Sanscrit sounded like or whatever came before it. Also, never forget we all started with grunts and groans. Language rules? Pffft.
I studied Sanskrit in school up until grade 8. Everyone who has taken a Sanskrit class in school like me knows what it sounds like. Even though it's not spoken by the populace now, the language is very much alive.
DD News, the government's news channel, even has a weekly news show in Sanskrit called Vaartavali. It usually airs on Wednesday and sometimes on Thursdays for some reason.
Respect doesn’t exist? Whatever does that mean? Could you elaborate?
Well, then, you just contradicted yourself. Respect does exist, it’s just relative. In the same way that any other emotion is relative to different people.
I kinda get the feeling you’re just saying this to be different. I’m saying “relative” as in the dictionary definition “considered in relation or in proportion to something else.” As to say, it’s different to different people. Something that might be respectful to one person might be common courtesy for another. Everyone has their own way of gauging respect, but it certainly exists.
What you learned in school is "based" on sanskrit. It is derived from it like English is derived from Celtic. It is not the same. There is no languge that has lasted thousands of years without change and the changes are significant enough that you would not understand it.
Yes, Hindi is "based" on Sanskrit which is widely spoken now. But classical Sanskrit is still taught in some schools alongside Hindi.
And there is no modern or medieval Sanskrit like it is with English. Sanskrit was just used by scholars, and it really wasn't even popular with the public even thousands of years ago. So it hasn't undergone the changes as other languages have.
The vocabulary or the rules of grammar have largely remained unchanged.
Sanskrit was very influential to several languages in Europe, including Farsi. It is also believe that the language came from Tamil. Sanskrit, which is 4,000 years old (some say its 6,000 years of age), used to be the language of the classics in India. Sanskrit is still an official language in the Indian Peninsula despite its limited use as an everyday language today. Rigveda, which is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, is where the first and earliest examples of the language can be found.
You must have copied this from the interweb so you can be excused, but only a Tamil fanatic would say that Sanskrit has been derived from Tamil. Both are wildly different languages. They only share about a word or two, having existed alongside for so many centuries now.
Reading your above posts (@History-Repeats) I think you've pretty much made up your mind on the topic, and you keep refuting facts for the sake of prolonging the convo. Correcting your statements will take quite a while as characterized by the Brandolini's law (redirects to Wiki) .So I'll leave you to it.
Brandolini's law, also known as the BS asymmetry principle states that "The amount of energy needed to refute Bs is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it."

I can as easily apply this to you. I am neither from India nor do speak or understand sanskrit so I claim no expertise. I have however studied the history of linguistics as part of my profession so I'm not totally ignorant. Languages are not so different. Sanskrit is no different from any as far as how they developed and what influenced changes.
Google expert.

A common pet-peeve when someone thinks they can tell you about your own culture, when their information is taken from a 2 minute google search rather than lived experience.
Problem:
You have chosen an appropriate name as well as profile comments. As usual you have nothing to add but one line insults where ever you go. I have yet to see you post anything more meaningful than your posts here.
Get a hobby. Read a book.
I'd post from my book of trivia all day, taking topics well off track, while claiming to be a scholar and war veteran.
But that's your gimmick.
