Tragonight Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,196 I still doubt you actually read it. Maybe reread it or skimmed through it after I brought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,197 I don't have to prove myself to you and you don't have to believe but if you want to ask me more about the book I will gladly answer your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragonight Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,198 Find an example where conventionality is not mortality. And where is the quote I'm referencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,199 Sorry. It took me a while to remember. It's from the preface, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragonight Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,200 You looked through. And the example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) 17,201 Yes I looked through. I never read prefaces. An example? I'm not going to do your summer homework for you! Edited August 1, 2015 by Yari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragonight Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) 17,202 So you can't find one. And if you never read the preface, you wouldn't know the author's pen name. Edited August 1, 2015 by Tragonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,203 No. I can't I only read the preface a few minutes ago. I didn't look for that anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,217 But I don't know the exact meaning of all english words so I sometimes translate them inside my head to be sure. And now I made a mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragonight Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,218 You translate English into Portuguese? My math teacher once said learning a language is more difficult if you're translating it. You have to truly understand the language. I speak three native languages, only with English and I'm taking Spanish in school. I don't translate any of them to the other.

Yari Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 17,219 Just words I'm not sure about. I'm very fluent in english but sometimes I get confused with certain words so inside of my head I translate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
