Hi.

@Robusto well, it's humorous, but not exactly true or helpful
 
Robusto
Robusto
Well, it's not really humorous, but it is true and, I would think, helpful.
Some of the truest things people have ever said were not literal, denotative explanations.
For example: "A child educated only at school is an uneducated child." — George Santayana
You could argue that a school education constitutes an education, but the distinction is an important one, and points to a greater truth.

Hi all

Welcome back.
@Cerberus — The doggy unchained will be a fearsome beast indeed.

I was wondering... Who is the one person who referred to a localised dictionary? And above all, what is a localizsd dictionary?
 
Robusto
Robusto
4:12 PM
"Localized" means the dictionary is suited to the language spoken.
You can localize for British English, American English, Italian, etc.
It's a function of the browser.

I see
I was suspecting that
but
thanks for clarifying
I never heard that expressions before, as much as I can remember
 
Robusto
Robusto
OK
No problem. I see that
you are in a
mood to write in strange
enjambments today
so I will just leave
it at that
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
Ahahah
I always write like
that
:D
 
Robusto
Robusto
Well, I may be
wrong but I think I
have seen you do
otherwise
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
It gives the chance to the reader to avoid getting bored while I'm writing something long
 
Robusto

4:15 PM
Nah, you're just teasing us.
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
I was wondering... In italian we say "scrivere un papiro" to say "write something veeeery long"
do you say that in English?
like "What the hell... Are you writing __________???"
 
Robusto
Robusto
... a frickin' Bible?
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
It's commonly used or... you just made it up?
 
Robusto
Robusto
Quite commonly used. But not always with "frickin'" as a modifier.
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
I see

@Robusto Hmm I have no idea, not my down-vote.
@Alenanno This is what local means:
 
Robusto
Robusto
I saw your link. Funny.
 
Cerberus
Cerberus
TY. You know the League?
Brilliantly perverted comedy series.
 
Robusto
Robusto
Hehe. I've seen it before. I love British humor.
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
Tephelone lol
I used to watch a British show... The name was... uhm...
 
Cerberus

@Robusto Good! Do you like Yes Minister too?
@Alenanno What was it about?
 
Robusto
Robusto
4:26 PM
@Cerberus Aye.
 
Cerberus
Cerberus
Yay!
By the way, don't ever watch the League film: it is shockingly bad.
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
It was done with several sketches but one of them was with a man taking care of a (false) paraplegic guy. The name was something like Little England?
 
Robusto
Robusto
Did you like Big Train?
One of my faves:
Simon Pegg, in the flesh, as it were.
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
Ah found it! It was Little Britain
 
Robusto

Yes! Lou and Andy are the best characters in LB.
 
Alenanno

There was one sketch I loved where the guy was something like a receptionist, I guess, and he always said "yeeeeess!"

@Robusto Nice ending.
@Robusto Ha, the word "garage" is well picked.
 
Robusto
Robusto
Yes, definitely.
It's perfect when she starts trying to speak German to them then: "Deutsch? Nein, nein ... ein oder zwei Wörter, aber ich bin nicht fliessend."
 
Cerberus

4:47 PM
Yeah an additional language helped.

@Alain Pannetier A question, if I may, and you're not too busy?

hmm. I think there's a big overlap between downvoting, and voting to close.
I mean, if you think a question is badly worded or not a real question or offtopic, etc. then surely you should vote to close.
if you do that, downvotes are unnecessary
if you're "not interested" in a question, they leave it alone. why downvote it? that's unfair.
i'd remove the downvote and just have an upvote, and a vote to close.

@Jez if it ain’t broken, why fix it?
