@TIPS Strange. No comments under the image!
 
@DamkerngT. That happens when I'm linking to something that's part of something bigger. I mean, the main post was something that had more than just that GIF.
 
Ahh

Q: I should be allowed to answer closed questions

BorodinToo many times I have read a question and gone away to write and test a solution, only to come back to find that the question has been suspended, usually because it is unclear what you're asking or too broad The problem is often that the post has been made by a non-native English speaker, so I w...

@TIPS The English I speak is usually, but not always, gender neutral.

I default to they and such all the time without thinking about it.

I notice sometimes that it's not so for everyone.
 
"Odd, since they contain many of the same names." -- Haha!
 
8:30 PM
@snailplane I've been doing that too since I made sure it's acceptable.

@DamkerngT. It's a very amusing comic :-)
 
Hmm... academical writing!
In a recent answer (yes, it's yours, @CowperKettle :),
> My wives always do as I say. (If you live in Saudi Arabia)
A fact in another part of the world:
> My husband always does as I say. (If you live in Thailand)
(It's one of the common themes for jokes over here.)
 
I guess it is a common theme everywhere
 
Haha!
 
> I have no problem with planning my vacation. My boss decides when, and my wife decides where.
A Russian joke.

> Pipes intended for use in shock-absorbers are inspected using a specialized instrument called the bore gauge.
Which is better?
Maybe I should ask this on the(?) main site
 
I like a in both places.
Using the and then a is fine with me, too.
 
Thank you!
 
a/the or the/the doesn't really work, IMHO.
No problem!
 
Regret is used there because who refers to first-person me--I regret the joys, loves and hopes.StoneyB 5 mins ago
 
If the letter A percedes one of these letters: E,I,or U, it will be assimiliated into that letter
What do u think of this sentence?
 
9:28 PM
I don't understand it.
 
I suggested it to this op
I think it's called 'blending' in English. When scholars are teaching children how to read: by putting letters together to pronounce words e.g. When you say the word apple the a is incorporated into p to make ap...ple — user35072 9 hours ago
It's about Arabic language.
 
I mean is it grammatical?
 
seems so
 
Oh! I saw Saudi Arabia in your answer! Coincidences happen!
 
9:36 PM
Are you from Saudi Arabia?
 
@CowperKettle you're kidding me! Just if @TIPS is ftom there then I am!
 
@Sina I normally ignore (suspicious) sentences that I can't guess the intended meaning.
 
I meant you posted an answer with Saudi Arabia in it and I suggested a sentence which is about Arabic language.
@DamkerngT. Wise! But is it grammatical?
 
But it sounds like some sort of ligature.
@Sina Never evaluate anything that doesn't have any meaning. That's my idea.
 
9:43 PM
How it is ligature?
 
@DamkerngT. That won't get you far in politics
 
@CowperKettle nods :D
 
@CowperKettle Or very far. ;-)
 
Because of the list in the middle of the sentence!
BTW, Morning @DamkerngT. It's around 5 there you r still awake!
 
9:47 PM
Yep!
 
Yep 4 the list or 5 a.m.
If the letter A percedes one of these letters: E,I,or U, then it will be assimiliated into that letter
Again the same?
 
Why assimilated?
The original is incorporated, but I'm not sure what it means.
 
It happens in Arabic but I am not sure. So it is a guess.
 
@Sina For my still being here. :-)
 
Is it 4 am in Iran?
 
9:52 PM
No
2:22
A.m.
@DamkerngT. try sleeping, it's a good thing.
 
Okay, half an hour behind me.

Q: Is "critical pipe" a proper term for a pipe used in a critically important role?

CopperKettleMy translation: Internal pipe diameter inspection This kind of inspection is carried out on a by-order basis using a certified gauge (for sizes 40 mm and above) of the go/no go type, with both sides of the pipe subjected to measurement along the length specified in the regulatory docume...

This question I deemed too specialized for ELL
 
It's 3 a.m. there. So we all are night owls
 
It is light here.
 
@CowperKettle U look diffetent over there.
 
The sky is red.
 
9:56 PM
All dark here.
 
Because you're too far South
 
why red?
@CowperKettle nods!
 
Because the sun is lighting up the sky, but is below the horizon
 
@CowperKettle Lovely.
 
Бе́лые но́чи — ночи, в течение которых естественное освещение остаётся достаточно высоким, то есть вся ночь состоит лишь из сумерек. Явление наблюдается в умеренных и высоких широтах перед летним солнцестоянием и после него. == Где наблюдаются белые ночи == Точного астрономического определения понятия «белые ночи» не существует. Например, под этим может пониматься явление, когда вся ночь представляет собой интервал непрерывных гражданских сумерек от захода до восхода солнца. В интервале гражданских сумерек максимальный угол нахождения центра солнечного диска под линией горизонта составляет 6°.…
For some reason there is no English Wiki page
 
9:59 PM
And strange. Sun never shows up at 3 over here. So I guess I love our lazy son than yours!
 
It is called "white night" in Russia
 
Can you sleep well when it's light outside
 
I shot this a couple of minutes ago
@Sina I can't, there is loud music and cries outside
Schoolkids are celebrating the end of the school year
And students are celebraing graduation
Cars are going along the street blaring music
 
Waw! Beautiful! U r fond of photography, right?
Oh, sorry about the all noise!
 
Now and then there is a cry "I'm a mining engineee-ee-eerr!"
There is the Ural Mining Institute not far away
Ural State Mining University (Russian: Уральский государственный горный университет) is situated in Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation. It was founded in 1914. In 1917 Nicholas II signed an order titled "On keeping of the Yekaterinburg Institute of Mines under the patronage of His Majesty the Emperor and on giving to this educational establishment the title of The Emperor Nicholas II Ural Institute of Mines". It is the oldest establishment of higher education in the Middle Urals. It offers education in geology, geophysics, engineering and management of mining, geological prospecting. The university...

Oh! We didn't make this much noise on our graduation.

They will cry this slogan for a couple of weeks
Those who receive poor grades will pass their exams later
 
Oh, so ask a friend for a favore of having you over for a couple of weeks.

I don't mind
 
I love the all silent night! Even can't imagine a noisy night.
Then you r lucky it doesn't bother u. Happy 4 u!
 
> All night there isn’t a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.

Oh, that soon!
It's still completely dark here.
Oh, wait. I opened the wrong window! :P
It's sort of dimmed blueish right now.
