Interesting. Doesn't it? It reminds me of Steven Pinker's books. These helped me with the understanding of English grammar. Pinker is a cool mate, and...
Hello folks, I have a question. What is an empty tautology? I am currently reading David Pears' book on Wittgenstein, and the author says: Given that ...
Oh, thank you for your kind explanation, outlander. Lesson taken. I think I will avoid the use of 'cost' in the future... I think it causes more langu...
Yesterday afternoon, a train derailed in Atocha. This station is very important because it connects the rest of the train stations. It is similar to L...
I had a similar experience too. I was in Mestalla (the stadium of Valencia!) and El Sardinero (a modest stadium in the North) with my parents, yet I c...
I used to watch a lot of English Premier League football. My favourite teams were Arsenal and other modest teams such as Crystal Palace, Leicester, Fu...
Yes, the situation is similar here. The government is composed of eight different political parties, and some of them criticised Pedro for not being m...
Sorry, my English grammar is irregular as usual, so I am pleased to all of you who help me to improve. I will keep it in mind: AN before a vowel or a ...
Nobody asked us our opinion... but yeah, why not? Pedro is always there, even if nobody expects him. Spain's Pedro Sánchez tells Netanyahu number of d...
That doesn't follow the main point of OP, and China is not the main Buddhist country in the world. It is Cambodia, with 15.7M of Buddhists, which make...
Amen, mate! Let's fight against @"frank" He is a heretic... :eyes: I am buzzin' for this shoutbox conversation. Which is to say, I am a excited young ...
The wisdom council allows us to put an accent on words such as 'Manchester'. https://www.rae.es/dpd/M%C3%A1nchester Do you want to start a war or a di...
Glad to see you posting again on the forum, mate. What you posted is interesting. I searched for what heuristic means, and the dictionary says: a meth...
Hello Saskia, welcome to TPF. Firstly, both the quote and the question are very interesting, and they can be the subject of a thread itself. But, this...
Good story. But I can't take seriously the Asian man of your story for two basic reasons: 1) he didn't eat with chopsticks, thus, he ate like a Wester...
¡Feliz día de acción de gracias! :smirk: Yeah, that's how we translate it. Cringe... Is there a big problem if someone decides to eat the thanksgiving...
Good post, and interesting points. When I attended college, I remember that I had a debate regarding paedophilia. It is quite obvious that in most of ...
Yeah, they are scouser folks and their accent is strong. To be honest, most of the British, Scottish and Irish accents are difficult for a non-native ...
Cool! Say hola to him, please. 1997 was a special year to be born. The Kyoto protocol was signed, for instance. The Doors! Yes, I searched on Google -...
Oh wow! No, no. I promise I was born in 1997. Well, this is why we have public registries to prove these kind of legal facts. :yum: /uploads/resized/f...
I understand your mental block, because I passed through the same thinking. I am only 26 years old, so I am just a kid if I compare my age with most o...
I am so sorry to hear the demise of Isaac, and I pay my condolences to his family and friends. I remember that I had interesting exchanges with him in...
I don't know if there are Mancunian folks around here, but I have to say that their accent is the one which fits better to my speaking because my voic...
:up: Economic status and possibility of access to employment, not dependent upon drugs or alcohol, the no existence of domestic violence, the eventual...
Cheers. I wish I could keep arguing and debating with you on this pretty interesting thread, but my knowledge of this topic is limited, and I am just ...
Corvus, I want to share with you some notes from Kelley Ross, when he finished his dissertation. My aim is not to force you to believe on the existenc...
Honestly, I think Austin is not using 'cricket' as an adjective, but a prefix. According to him, this noun is 'always-the-same' meaning. If someone di...
Yeah, those are good solutions to my cursed walls of popcorn ceiling. I tried everything, but the pictures or pins ended up falling down, anyway. Alth...
I promise I had similar thinking after reading the paper, but I wasn't confident enough to express that the work of Davidson was influenced - or remin...
No, I am a lawyer, and I am eventually studying to become a land registrar. I studied law at university between 2015 - 2019. :smile: I hope this basic...
It is a good reading. Thank you for sharing the paper. . This reminds me of Austin's arguments on chapter VII, when he states: Consider the expression...
She quits because of the Australian outage. Whatever the 'golden parachute' would be, I pay my respects to her for resigning. When you come from a cou...
I am happy to share my admiration of sunset with you, mates. I knew there would be members who would appreciate this gift from nature. I had to go to ...
I just recalled another website that I suggest you whole-heartily. The Proceedings of the Friesian School The owner and administrator of this website ...
:up: The building is 30 years old. The construction started in 1993 and ended in 1994. I was born here, and I wish I can keep living here. There are a...
Good idea, I will keep it in mind. But, before starting to buy paint, I have to remove all the 'popcorn ceiling', and the mess this causes, as we deba...
