12:00 AM

Hah.

Educ

there are some people who love feet in sex I don't remember what we call them

Cerberus

Here, people would not normally massage other people's feet either.

Educ

so it's fair

Now, it's 1:03 am and I 'm still awake because I'm working on my presentation for tomorrow. wish me a good luck for that, what I fear that I will sleep tomorrow during exposing it

Mitch

What time is the presentation?

Educ

for me I always sleep at 10 om

about Limit of function

I have to give definition examples, theorems and proofs

MetaEd

12:06 AM

@Educ There's "foot fetishist"

Mitch

@Educ just limits or epsilon delta proofs?

Educ

@MetaEd Yes that's it

MetaEd

However a fetish means that the thing (foot) is necessary, not just desirable

Educ

@Mitch yes of course what took me so long is typing on tex ( beamer class )

MetaEd

So they do not just love feet, they actually cannot get sexual gratification without feet

Educ

12:07 AM

my presentation is in french

Cerberus

Ah-HAH, so Mitch is a mathematician!

@MetaEd Why necessary?

Educ

@MetaEd that what I saw , acually there are who take picture of feet's women

Cerberus

> Psychology. any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.

Educ

@Cerberus yes he has a phd

in mathematics :)

Cerberus

I'm not surprised, but we never get to glean any information out of him so easily...

Mitch

12:09 AM

@Educ not exactly. CS (but math heavy)

Cerberus

Ah.

Educ

@Cerberus i'm not discrimination or something but this is sickness

Cerberus

gleans

Mitch

@Cerberus ask me a question

Cerberus

@Educ What is sickness?

@Mitch I don't think you would like that game.

Educ

12:10 AM

@Cerberus sickness to be like those people who arent normal they don't get boner like we do

Mitch

@Educ what other people like often can make us feel very uncomfortable

MetaEd

@Cerberus You'd have to ask the fetishist. Or a psychologist.

Educ

@Mitch you talk in a general

Cerberus

@Educ Why is it sick?

Educ

@Cerberus Just ask him question

Cerberus

12:11 AM

Why not just different?

Mitch

for example partial differential equations

Cerberus

Part of what?

Educ

@Cerberus for me everything against nature is sick

Cerberus

But those people's nature is such that they like feet.

Mitch

@Cerberus a math question. not.. whatever weird thing you were imagining

MetaEd

12:12 AM

@Mitch I like π

Cerberus

@Mitch I thought the topic was fetishes.

Mitch

@Educ very general. but mostly about sex.

Educ

@Cerberus are you trying to convaince me or you are going to give me a proof ?

@Cerberus no he asked you about mathematics

Cerberus

You're assuming that a fetish is unnatural. I am questioning that assumption.

Educ

just we talk about two different subject here math and sex

Mitch

12:13 AM

@MetaEd we've been over this.

Educ

@Cerberus personal I found this is unnatural

Mitch

π are squared

Cerberus

How do you define unnatural?

MetaEd

@Mitch I like τ

Mitch

@Cerberus if you can make a math question out of it. but I'd rather not go there

Cerberus

12:14 AM

If unnatural is something subjective, something that is different for each person, then doesn't it sound a bit like a meaningless term?

MetaEd

@Mitch π are round cake are square

Mitch

@MetaEd oh.

you started it

how dare you

I have no words for you

Wait...I have some but I can't say them out loud

MetaEd

@Mitch I celebrate τ day on February 28

Mitch

You monster

Educ

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

@Mitch This is teh field of CS you will understand it quickly

Mitch

12:18 AM

THE QUIETER YOU BECOME, THE MORE YOU CAN HEAR

Educ

Yes

This is true in real life

Mitch

Aren't you preparing your presentation?

Educ

I tried that and I found it holds

yes I do I m just taking break

Mitch

are you proving things like all continuous functions have derivatives?

or the intermediate value theorem?

MetaEd

Waste of time. What really needs work is P=NP.

Mitch

12:22 AM

or Rolle's theorem

@MetaEd pfft

N=1 or P = 0

done

where's my Clay prize money?

MetaEd

I dropped it and it broke into a bunch of little Clay pieces.

@Educ How did it go?

@Elasthiccgirl Sumelic answer should help a lot.

I don't really have a clear answer myself.

I have the confusion myself, 'how' is usually considered... adverbial, but 'how the world works' seems to act more like a noun phrase here. in some sense it doesn't matter what it 'is' but how it acts. That is how the world works. How the world works keeps me up at night.

2:08 PM

@Mitch HI, It went very well. but one thing that I'm suffering from lack of nonsleep my body tired and U can't focus well since I was awake until 5 a.m. Thanks buddy for asking me how are you today ?

I will eat and watch some series Tv or anime and take a nap to recover

Mitch

@Educ That's good. It's good practice to give presentations like that, makes everything easier the next time, speaking more fluently, having words come out easier, but also doing that in front of people with the expectation of being understood.

Also, LaTeX. Good math skills that you never knew you would need.

Educ

yes i have no problem with that the only mistake that i didn't prepare early which implies me to no sleep

yes

I work with it even for english studies

Mitch

That's another 'trick' which is not a trick but common sense. Which is to get a good nights sleep the night before.

That's more for test taking but also applies to presentations I guess.

tchrist

I sure wish people would stop saying that only speakers of British English ever match plural verbs with singular-looking collective nouns as their subjects.

> "I cannot for a moment imagine what my childhood would have been like had I been thrown into a camp without my parents," Takei continues. "That this is happening today fills me with both rage and grief: rage toward a failed political leadership who appear to have lost even their most basic humanity, and a profound grief for the families affected."

Mr Takei is clearly American.

Mitch

2:24 PM

@Educ If you don't have any kind of math, then I think LaTeX is overkill, just to get things like tables. Most of the business world uses MSWord.

I don't know if anybody uses anything other than LaTeX or MSWord. I've started using Google Docs for anything new by myself.

MetaEd

Because "pineapple" doesn't sound enough like "banana".

RegDwigнt

I don't think having "mpananas" should count as having bananas.

By that logic, anyone who has a car also owns a bar.

Also, just FYI, plátano has way more letters in common with banana than μπανάνα does.

Mitch

2:45 PM

@MetaEd Oh Spain. Always have to be special.

Cerberus

@MetaEd Nice.

@RegDwigнt You know bar is spelled mpar in New Greek?

RegDwigнt

Whooosh.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt In Carib, sausage is called 'banana meat'

RegDwigнt

I did know your account got hacked, but I didn't know it was Jasper who did it.

Cerberus

Mitch

2:47 PM

Oh Jasper.

RegDwigнt

WTF that is one very thinly spread banana.

Diffused over millions of square kilometres.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt But the A is the same letter in BANANA and the Greek word.

Mitch

@Cerberus Hm...Bananas on the Canaries

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus Jasper, I already whooshed you, why are you insisting on getting whooshed even more.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Dogs can smell things when they catch only a single molecule.

@RegDwigнt I was actually wooshing you here.

RegDwigнt

2:49 PM

Also @tchrist what do you think of this Jasper guy saying that a and α are the same letter.

Cerberus

You don't remember our conversation about Cyrillic A and Latin A's being the same letter?

@Mitch Yeah, that was early, no?

Mitch

@Cerberus tchrist will ttell you they have different Unicode codepoints, therefore you are wrong

RegDwigнt

No, for while you were hacking Cerberus'aes account, Jasper, I was hacking Reg's.
I am Cerberus. I don't remember anything.

Cerberus

@Mitch But A is A.

@RegDwigнt Oh, you suddenly appear far more intelligent.

RegDwigнt

That is because I have three times the number of brains now.

MetaEd

You gotta get up to get down.

RegDwigнt

Not if you paid any attention to Einstein.

Mitch

I'd assume you're already up

RegDwigнt

2:53 PM

You could be getting up and down at the same time this very second.

Olavid Sants

Hello

RegDwigнt

Goedenavond.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt Einstein Shmeinstein, said the man at the deli about his new cream cheese spread

Olavid Sants

What books do you recoomend to learn english by myself? I speak spanish

RegDwigнt

Was it spread by the same people who spread the banana all over Arabia, um I mean Iran?

Cus then it tastes of nothing I would suggest.

Cerberus

2:55 PM

@RegDwigнt Hey, this is a family room.

RegDwigнt

@OlavidSants I am the wrong person to ask. I will tell you that you cannot learn English from a book. Which is true. You cannot.

Olavid Sants

You are right!, I need practice

Cerberus

Wrong: you can learn a lot of English from a book, especially how to form proper sentences.

RegDwigнt

You can learn English by watching all the Simpsons episodes, or by sticking around here and talking to us. But you cannot learn English by reading a book. And none of us in here learned English from a book.

Olavid Sants

But for grammar ant that kind of things?

You are right!, I need practice

Cerberus

2:56 PM

Reg is wrong.

Or he is exaggerating.

RegDwigнt

I am right.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt You should never smoke bananas. You might start a fire and burn your face

Cerberus

Practice and immersion are highly useful.

But, without studying grammar, you are extremely unlikely to ever write proper English, and it will take much longer.

RegDwigнt

Wrong.

Cerberus

A lot of people on this site would profit a great deal from reading a learner's grammar book.

RegDwigнt

2:57 PM

No native speaker of English ever studies grammar before becoming fluent in the language. Literally zero of them.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt Maybe you should return to Armenia. You would go unnoticed in such a place.

Cerberus

They do, by learning how to write in school.

RegDwigнt

You did not become fluent in your mother tongue by studying grammar. You became fluent in it years before you learned the word "grammar" even existed.

Cerberus

Most people write horribly.

Olavid Sants

mm then what would you recommend? I am a programmer and I usually read almost everything in English, I also write many times (but with grammatical errors). I would like to improve my english

Mitch

2:58 PM

When I was two years old, I was vaccinated to learn English

Cerberus

@OlavidSants I'm afraid I don't know of any specific book. But what you could do is go to a book shop and browse through some English grammar books, or ask an assistant for help.

Then pick one that fits your level.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt Dude, the guy just wants to learn English better. For adult learners, having grammar instruction can really help a lot.

Olavid Sants

Yes, I'll do it

RegDwigнt

@OlavidSants expose yourself to the language as much as possible. That sure can include reading some quality books, or even some rubbish books for that matter, but really you should be trying to make it not passive but active, or better yet interactive. The three sentences you've typed in this chat already taught you more than reading three sentences of "Moby Dick" would have taught you.

Mitch

That is good advice though. Moby Dick is a waste of time.

RegDwigнt

3:01 PM

@Mitch I learned English at the age of 22. That not adult enough for you?

Cerberus

@OlavidSants But Reg is right that exposure also helps a lot and is important: read a lot, and read good English, e.g. articles from major newspapers, and especially novels. Literature really helps to expand your vocabulary and makes you get used to proper sentences.

Olavid Sants

haha

RegDwigнt

Before that I tried learning it from books. I tried learning it in school. I had seven years of English in school. I couldn't speak a word.

Olavid Sants

well, I'm 23

Mitch

unless you're using it to press flowers, hold a door open, or torture students with

Cerberus

3:02 PM

@RegDwigнt I have learned a lot from books.

RegDwigнt

@OlavidSants Your English is way better than mine was at that age. You have a head start. Just don't slow down, keep exposing yourself to the language.

Cerberus

And I think I can speak a word or two.

Mitch

mmmhmmm

Cerberus

But I agree with Reg that writing and speaking also help a lot.

RegDwigнt

Never heard you speak. Not even bark.

Mitch

3:03 PM

Arf

RegDwigнt

Never heard you barf, either.

Cerberus

@OlavidSants So it should be a combination of all: study grammar, read good English (esp. literature and newspapers), write/chat in proper English, and speak with native speakers.

RegDwigнt

Anyway. The Internet is the best place to learn English. Simply by reading random shit, and typing random shit. Do that for three years, and you'll be at my level now.

Olavid Sants

You're right, that its more difficult for me beacuase I live in Perú but I will make the effort

terdon

Mitch

3:04 PM

@OlavidSants You're probably at the stage where you know most of the grammar, and you just want to increase your vocabulary and fluency.

Cerberus

Not random shit! Read proper English.

terdon

(for the record, reading Moby Dick is absolutely not a waste of time)

RegDwigнt

There is no such thing as proper English.

Mitch

@terdon Is so!

Olavid Sants

haha

RegDwigнt

3:05 PM

You will learn more English from reading YouTube for a day than you will learn by reading the Bible for ten.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt If there isn't, then why do you write in it, hmm?

terdon

@Mitch Is not! Tiring, perhaps, and long winded, but beautiful prose.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Hah, I disagree.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus this is the first time ever anyone called my English proper.

terdon

Yeah, maybe not YouTube. That might be stretching the definition of English, let alone proper English, a bit.

Cerberus

3:06 PM

Don't imitate Youtube comments. They're usually poorly written. You don't want to learn to write like that.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus you already said as much. And we already determined that you're wrong, so let's not go around in circles.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Touché!

RegDwigнt

I never said to imitate YouTube comments. Dude, whose English is horrible now? You no understandy what I writey?

Mitch

@terdon It's a crap book. THe only good thing to come out of it is practical advice on how to kill a awhale and to make sure that you watch where the ropes are on deck in case one wraps around your ankle and drags you under the waves.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt You're forgetting to make grammar mistakes, so I won't believe you learned your English from Youtube.

terdon

3:07 PM

@Mitch Sacrilege!

Mitch

You can torture students with it by either 1) whacking them on the head with it (the hair on your head hides any bruises) or making them read it (the scarring lasts forever)

RegDwigнt

In English, "learning from touching a hot oven" does not mean "learning to keep touching the hot oven".

terdon

Granted, I've only read it once and that was when I was still in high school, but I still think it is a wonderful book. And I read it by choice!

RegDwigнt

Likewise, learning from YouTube comments does not mean learning how to write everything as if you were on YouTube.

terdon

Posted English, ergo proper English.

Cerberus

3:08 PM

@RegDwigнt But you must first learn what hot even feels like, lest your scorched flesh should stick to the oven forever.

Mitch

@terdon By choice? bites tongue

terdon

@Mitch Yep.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus Exactly. And that you do by touching the hot oven. Not by touching Herman Melville.

Mitch

By choice, sometimes I slam the car door on my hand for fun. Makes me feel alive!

terdon

One of the most beautifully written books I have ever had the privilege to read. Even if you could condense the entire thing to a couple of paragraphs.

Cerberus

3:10 PM

@RegDwigнt If you have no idea of temperatures, then you will never pull your hand away, and you might get stuck.

Mitch

@terdon +1

terdon

@Mitch That does explain a lot. I wish you'd told me years ago.

Olavid Sants

thanks guys

see you soon

Cerberus

Children have an innate idea of hot and cold. They have no idea about good and bad English.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus Ah true enough but you see, the idea of temperatures is intrinsic. That you don't need to teach.

Cerberus

3:11 PM

Which is why many people never advance to writing good English.

Mitch

@terdon The Old Man ad the Sea was the Reader's Digest version, and even that stunk

like the dead fish in the boat

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt My point is: you need to be exposed to good English to (automatically) learn the rules.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus exactly right. All you're saying the idea of "good" and "bad" is highly constucted and unnatural. Which is true.

Mitch

@terdon You should try it. It will give you the same feeling as reading one word of Moby Dick

Cerberus

Otherwise, you'll learn the rules of Youtube English.

RegDwigнt

3:12 PM

@Cerberus Nononono. Bad English has rules. Come on.

@Cerberus exactly. Which are still rules.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Yes, unnatural. But important.

RegDwigнt

That sounds gay.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Yes, but not the rules you want to learn.

RegDwigнt

Nonsense.

The fundamentals need to come first.

Cerberus

I see these kids every day in school.

RegDwigнt

3:13 PM

And the fundamentals are exactly the same for both. One is much easier to learn though.

Cerberus

They actually use chat abbreviations in papers sometimes.

Mitch

@Cerberus "many people never advance to writing well English."

Can't you get even the basic right?

Cerberus

It just never occurred to them that 'U' wasn't the proper spelling of 'you', because they're exposed to 'U' too much.

Real example.

@RegDwigнt Olavid is past fundamentals.

Mitch

@Cerberus lol

Cerberus

@Mitch growls

Mitch

3:14 PM

hahaha

RegDwigнt

Anyway I need to run but @Olavid just stick around in chats like these and read our bullshit nonsense occasionally, that alone will bring you much further. Don't read a grammar book.

Cerberus

Sure, that will help. Because we mostly write in proper sentences where appropriate.

RegDwigнt

Like, even all the guys in here who insist that you should read a grammar book, the moment you actually read one they will go "oh no but not that grammar book, that one's rubbish and wrong".

Cerberus

But don't go to Youtube chat every day.

RegDwigнt

Do.

Every day.

Mitch

3:16 PM

Oh, Youtube chat is the worst

Cerberus

I hope it doesn't exist.

RegDwigнt

I've been doing that for ten years now and look at my English.

Cerberus

Somehow I smell lies.

Mitch

evn obviously native speakers can't type their words out in the right order

RegDwigнt

No, you smell disbelief. Because you have the closed mind of a dog living underground for the last million years.

Mitch

3:17 PM

@Cerberus nope that's his face. It's on fire

Cerberus

So a combination of active and passive use of the language, preferably in proper English, and studying grammar is the best way to advance.

@Mitch So ugly.

RegDwigнt

There is no such thing as proper English. By the time you're finished defining what the hell you even mean by that, Olavid will be long fluent in English.

Cerberus

There is les proper and properer.

You can tell when you see it.

It's not an exact measure, of course.

But I don't see your writing in slang or pidgin here.

Mitch

@Cerberus That's why I recommend he go back to Armenia. He would go unnoticed in such a place.

Because they're stupid and ugly too

Cerberus

Oh, dear. Don't make him mad!

@Mitch Sexist!

Mitch

3:19 PM

I'm going to repeat this Zappa reference until someone reads Moby Dick

RegDwigнt

Okay, here's a typical YouTube exchange. Please. Please. I beg you to tell me what is not "proper" here.

> He is very entertaining and a wonderful musician - on the other hand I found myself wondering how effective he is at helping the student to improve. His insights and knowledge of how to play the violin are exceptional of course, but teaching is another skill altogether.

> I think he very clearly proved his teaching abilities in these masterclasses. There are two hours of masterclass online on the official Menuhin channel page which gives a much broader view of what he taught. These are some seriously talented violinists who have prepared for at least months for the competition, making it very hard to find much fault with their playing,

> it would of course be interesting to hear what Mr Vengerov would have to say to them at a much earlier stage while they are still preparing, but he gave some great advice even under these circumstances! Great job by all and I hope we'll hear much more from these fine young violinists

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt I think you visit the wrong Youtube.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt Ugh. violin commentary

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus No, that is precisely my point. You do.

Mitch

They probably play that crap in Armenia

RegDwigнt

3:21 PM

I find it frankly quite insulting that you automatically assume Olavid would gravitate towards WatchMojo videos on Miley Cyrus rather than Numberphile's videos on Artificial Intelligence.

Cerberus

The last video I watched.

Is that what you want to learn?

RegDwigнt

Exactly. And how is that my problem that you watch that shit.

Cerberus

Next thing, people will learn that Dutch is proper English.

@RegDwigнt I watch it because @Færd says I shouldn't.

RegDwigнt

@Cerberus You wish. Nobody will ever even dream that.

Cerberus

@RegDwigнt Who knows what someone's secret fetishes are?

@RegDwigнt But it says so on the Youtube.
