New Poll - Translation Accuracy vs Fluency
(56 posts, 1711 views) Posted: 53d 13h, 13m ago by Crenshinibon in News
Accuracy is a bit of a misnomer here. A clear and distinct argument can be made that 'fluent' translations are actually more accurate in that they better succeed in mirroring the original communication, rather than the original form.
Really a poor exp ...

Quote from wotonito As for the polls go it would have been much better if you had left out the "Title" part and just gave the letters as some people would probably just not take the test and pick whichever title they think is "Coolest" or they m ...

Real Issues of the Day

Oyasumi Punpun is probably the most convincing portrait of what it's like to grow up into a role as a furiitaa. It also discusses new religion a bit (it becomes a major theme in the latter half). It's odd for me to say this, considering the surreal bends he go ...

President Election: Obama VS Romney

Quote from Badkarma Don't visit any animal/pet lover forums; I'd hate to see a picture of your pussy. Or your cock.
It's rather entertaining that anyone supporting Romney gets viewed as a troll. "YOU MUST BE CRAZY!!"
Nice.

President Election: Obama VS Romney
(91 posts, 6611 views) Posted: 285d 1h, 29m ago by Crenshinibon in Chatter Box
Obama by miles. I don't think Romney would be a disaster or even all that bad -- on the contrary, I'm certain he's moderate enough to stay the course and keep a real recovery on the agenda, rather than just swinging to the far right and appea ...

I can't blame the thread starter for opening this discussion. Why, I too was once outraged when a slew of my heartfelt comments were all deemed less than constructive by the school principal, who stated that my rendition of the school's morning ann ...

Quote from Mams I don't care about the equality of marriage, but I think whiny people need to get fucked in the ass with a jackhammer, that's why I am for homosexual marriage.

Quote from BlackOrion It was just an example and you take it as the whole argument, that itself is wrong. Pay atention, i said that probably 8 out of 10 gay men would be hetero if they were to have all their memories wiped and were then re-educated with a normal ...

Quote from BlackOrion I think he went a little overboard there but what he means, and this is actually easy to prove, is that if you were to clean all memories from a gay man and let he live his life again he would be hetero in 8 out of 10 cases. This can be proven b ...

Book that made you love reading

I wonder about this all the time. I'm sure I owe an enormous amount to reading both Narnia and The Little Prince at 7-8, but I suspect that books like those really lay more groundwork for transformational experiences than actually produce them.
In my case, ...

margaretman2 is correct. Your use of terminology is totally incorrect.
1st person = I "I ate an apple." 2nd person = You (think If on a winter's night a traveler) "You ate an apple" 3rd person = he/she/it "It ate an apple".

Quote from Badkarma Sure, sure... but when you think about it, "American[/url]" is actually pretty vague terminology. North American? Latin American?
Now I'm confused.
Seems the poll maker lacks the English proficiency to write a coherent, p ...

As with the phrase 'like a moth to a candle,' which is clearly unfair to all those not of a lepidopteran persuasion.

Quote from RS456 I never justified piracy. I just said they are going overboard for something that aired on tv. Unlike you I know how business and economy works. Why do you think several game rental companies came into existence in only the last few years? ...
