@snailplane Thank you!
> How pensive is this night that look down
Upon up with its starry blue eyes.
Could we borrow some of this wind
That has carried away our song?
Could we borrow some of this wind

The original song in Russian (you can press PLAY and hear it)
I tried to translate the first stanza and make it rhyme
> Stars are out and we sing together
But the stanzas are getting few.
Will they blow down this wind forever,
Can we borrow a breath or two?
Will they blow down the wind forever,
Will they blow down the wind forever,
Will they lose in the air forever,
Can we borrow a breath or two?

Q: Logical entailment in semantics

GenkiI have a question: there are two sentences: A) "If I run, I'll throw up" and B) "If I move, I'll throw up" - is A a logical entailment of B or vice versa? or maybe they are logically equivalent? Appreciate your help!

I missed him so much that at one time I thought of visiting Bangkok in search of him along with anyone here who wants to volunteer in this search.

@Man_From_India Well, what do we know about him? Do we have any leads?

@Araucaria In his youth, he took part in a group that traveled to mountanous regions in order to help local villagers. I subscribed to the group on Facebook. That's all I know. And that his internet connection suffered from rains. And that he has a cat named Hagu.

@Araucaria All I know is that he is a software guy, who started with freelancing, and sort of have some group who works together. And he is settled in some places outside city, because he told it gives him relief to his lungs.

@CowperKettle Could we leave a message on that Facebook page?

@Araucaria Probably the best idea. But considering the small info we have it's seems very hard to track him.

Oh, I'm being kicked out of the college. Will check back later ...

@Araucaria I have his personal email ID, and I sent him emails but he never replied ever since he disappeared here :(
@Araucaria See you.

@Araucaria I've just looked, and I can't find it. I probably was excluded.
But the name of the group should be somewhere in the chatroom logs

@CowperKettle :O seems very strange!
Othe members from that group who are locals might give a clue.

@userr2684291 Hmm, sure. I have been very busy, but I didn't neglect your notification. I will sleep on it!
@Man_From_India Once he told me that he has some connection with IEEE, I'm not sure if that helps 0-:(

“Yes. I made him to do what I could not"; I wonder if it's correct.

@V.V. nope
"I made him do"

@snailplane My American friend said "Belated happy birthday!" sounds wrong to them; they prefer "Happy belated birthday!". They're a teenager, though – would it sound wrong to you?
M.A.R.
M.A.R.
Hmm, I like the latter as well
Any time now snail'd say "teens these days"

@M.A.R. I do too.
But it's because I don't think about the phrase. When I think about it, the former sounds better.

O.o

Or more logical or such.

@Cardinal You can't make a mistake there, really. You could even say Happy birthday!.

I am talking about "unextraordinary".
userr2684291
userr2684291
@Cardinal Right, unextraordinary means "nothing special".
You can look that up, though.

I couldn't find it on certifiable dictionaries.
I mean I searched the word, but there was just a bunch of trashy websites.
No Oxford, No Cambridge, ...

@Cardinal Do you not trust Webster's dictionary?
Collins also has it, apparently.
Why do you want these words, anyway? They'll just make you book-smart. They won't make you street-smart.
