So these people come to your place, start blathering about "derde waarschuwings", and expect you to not die laughing. Come on, this is straight from Gargantua and Pantagruel.
"It is ME" is not grammatically correct in the academic sense, but is used in spoken English.
"It is I" is grammatically correct in the pure sense, but would never be used in spoken English - or very rarely by people who speak in an ultra-formal dialect.
"It is I" would have been correct in ...
Well, face it. WMT is just another turn around the grinding wheel. At some point one gets fed up and says, "Stop this infernal wheel, I want to get off."
@Vitaly That's my only goal right now as well, but if I am honest to myself, what use are they? Just beating other cards. So the only payout of playing to get them would be that I could play some more.
@Cerberus my ISP uses a fiber-optic cable network, but when a fiber-optic cable enters a building it's split into twisted-pair cables (which support 1 Gbps perfectly well anyway, at least at these lengths)
In that case Wikipedia shut itself down and blamed the government. In this case criminals will be shutting facebook et al down. They will be blamed themselves.
@Cerberus yes, that's exactly what some patients on life-support systems in some hospitals that need internet connection will say when they realize … or not
It's completely flawed. What will instead happen is that people will think "Criminals are hurting the interent, there needs to be a law to stop them"
If vandalism, or its more extreme cousin, terrorism, were good at galvanizing public support, don't you think things would have happened a BIT differently after 9/11?
Shutting down the internet will only harden the resolve of governments to clamp down and turn public opinion away from the criminals.
It would be completely playing into the hands of the government.
It's been done time and time again.
If they go through with this (with any degree of success) this will go down in history as one of the most fucking stupid things any "protesters" have ever done.
@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't think most governments really care one way or another: it's just all kinds of lobbies pulling them into different directions. In any case I didn't say I thought this was a good idea; I haven't made up my mind yet. It's just that the notion that there is someone fighting for freedom is in a way appealing, however flawed their approach may be.
Actually I took the computer science exam today. The problem is, I think I'll fail.
So I need to pass this one.
It'll be two steps, the results after three months tells information about students rankings. One out of three will get accepted. Then according to the ranking, you should make a list about the universities you'd go.
Oh, well. If you had had at least a month, I might have recommended some spaced repetition software to cram up on vocabulary, e.g. Anki. But in a day … No idea, really.
@simchona If you want to have a discussion on creationism and science with me, by all means. But don't insult my intelligence behind my back like that. I think that is uncalled for.
As an interviewee, should I tell the interviewer 'having the interview on tuesday would be nice' or 'doing the interview on tuesday would be nice' when scheduling things?
Will anyone make a clear comparison between "recommend + subject + to infinitive" and "recommend + to + subject + to + infinitive"?
As an example:
We recommend you to buy a new car.
We recommend to you to buy a new car.
Are both sentences correct?
Which one am I most likely to hear in a nati...
I'd like to ask about the use of the verb "recommend" in the following sentences:
We'd recommend you to book your flight early.
The plumber recommended me to buy a new water heater.
The first sentence is taken from the entry for the verb "recommend" in the online Oxford Advanced Learne...
