A: Why is a bathroom sometimes called a "john"?

HeidiI am in love with a man named John...and he's THE SH*T!! So there's my answer!!!

Haha.
ali
ali
:))
@Carlo_R. What did you want to ask about geography?
@ali, I love geography, and I was under the impression that you do love it too.
And you have to consider that in advanced courses of geography we study the so-called "usi e costumi".
"Usi e costumi" is a study regarding how people live or use to live.
ali
ali
thanks carlo
@ali, thanks, and use "you" not "u".
ali
ali
20:40
ok my friend
sorry i don't know english good
@ali, if you want to learn English I suggest you to create an account on ell.stackexchange.com.
However, I observed you used the word "clever", and this is already a thing.
ali
ali
i do it
"Clever" is not so common outside Anglophone countries.
ali
ali
why?
Because "clever" doesn't have a Latin root.
ali
ali
20:50
ok what is common?
@ali, "clever" is a good word. Continue to use it.
@ali, do you think it was a coincidence that Reg posted the "john" question?
ali
ali
nevermind
@ali, "nevermind"? What?
@ali, do you believe in coincidences?
@ali, can you explain, in your own words, what a coincidence is?
ali
ali
i have a request of you
@ali, no, you have a question from me.
ali
ali
20:59
yes i have a question from you
@ali, yes "question" and "request" are similar words, but they are different in meaning.
ali
ali
are you can learn English to me?
@ali, no, I would learn more on geography talking with you.
@ali, however, if I'm not wrong you shouldn't not use "be" and "can" that way.
@ali, you can have only one modal/auxiliary verb in a sentence.
ali
ali
ok
can you learn English to me
@ali, no, I don't think so!
@ali, frankly I cannot learn English not even studying John Lawler's answers.
Imagine if I can learn English from you!
@ali, I'm interested in history, too. Are you?
ali
ali
21:10
yes i'm interested in history,too
did you read iran's history?
Yes, sometime.

Q: Did a banned treatise claim Leonardo da Vinci converted to Islam?

Carlo_R.I found this to be strange, if not absurd: Morteza Khalaj Amirhosseini, the author of the book "Leonardo Da Vinci's Drawings", went on to say that the book presents a complete biography of Da Vinci in which he has proved based on first-hand sources that the Renaissance artist had become a Mus...

The above is one of my questions on Skeptiks.SE.
I have another:

Q: Did Newton discover that white light consists of various rays of coloured light?

Carlo_R.Wikipedia reads: Before Isaac Newton, it was believed that white light was colorless, and that the prism itself produced the color. Newton's experiments demonstrated that all the colors already existed in the light in a heterogeneous fashion But in an article titled "Muslim scientists...

But, honestly, I'm more interested in Western history.
For example:

Q: Did Heisenberg undermine the German atomic bomb by deliberately hiding his expertise from the Nazis?

Carlo_R.Source. In his massive book Heisenberg's War: The Secret History of the German Bomb, Thomas Powers says that Heisenberg, who never became a Nazi and balked at the immorality of building a bomb for Hitler, did what he could to guide "the German atomic bomb effort into a broom closet." But Powe...

@ali, we need to know history, otherwise we wouldn't understand how modern world works.
@ali, this is particularly true nowadays.
ali
ali
:)
are you sure which you have 8 years
you speak very beautiful
@ali, my dream is to speak a good English, but I'm sure I cannot.
ali
ali
i enjoy when i read your text
why?
you read good English
21:27
I suppose your impression depends from the fact that you are not a native speaker.
ali
ali
i don't think
Granted, I'm here since 2012 and no one told me that I speak good English.
However, do Iranians study history in their primary school?
ali
ali
yes
How is the program of studies structured?
We start from the so-called "Neanderthal's homo".
Do you know the "Neanderthal's homo" (or "Cro-Magnon's Homo")?
ali
ali
yes i know
21:36
What do you know of Neanderthal's Homo?
ali
ali
but i don remember what i study in my primary school
Oh, I see. But is there an argument of history that attract your attention?
ali
ali
i think the first neanderthal's homos name is adam
@ali, no, no, no. We don't know their names, nor it is sure that they have one.
ali
ali
do you know adam?
21:41
@ali, "adam" is not part of historical knowledge!
ali
ali
yes
but it is part of religious knowledge
@ali, yes, but Italians are not interested in these things, although we have the Vatican.
ali
ali
:))))
Generally, Italians are pragmatic people and they are interested in wine, cars and similar things.
@ali, even if you cannot remind your primary studies, do you know something on the so-called "Homo Sapiens Sapiens"?
ali
ali
yes i do
what time is it in Italy now?
21:53
23:50, and in Iran?
ali
ali
2:23

ali
ali
what is problem?
Sorry, perhaps I have a problem.
A problem with the GMT time.
ali
ali

22:01

ali

Q: Avoiding repetition - Hallway

user43347In many forums, I have seen people keep saying - avoid repetition of the same word in a paragraph. But in the sentence like below, how do you avoid the the repetition? I have to repeat the word 'hallway' three times, I don't see any way to avoid it. Why should I avoid and how? Suddenly, the...

> how do you avoid the the repetition?
Sic.
22:52
You should remove that question, for having the word "avoid" too many times in one paragraph.
It also uses the letter E more than once.
Who are we — Croesus, that we can waste our Es like that?
Yes, this has reached Croesus point.
23:23
@david, are you still online?
@david, have you never heard before that Leonardo converted to Islam?
@david, do you know that in NZ the Marriage Amendment (Definition of Marriage) Bill was passed by Parliament, and becomes law on August 19.
23:43
Howdy @Mahnax
How was work?
Ohai.
I was asked to extend two hours, so I did.
It went well enough.
I just got my hair cut, and I think there was a communication error made.
oh dear!
13 secs ago, by cornbread ninja 麵包忍者
oh dear!
I don't mind extending a six hour shift to an eight hour shift, so that was okay.
So your hair is too short?
A little. I'll live.
23:46
still have both ears?
Yep.
The dude knew what he was doing, he just didn't speak English. C'est la vie.
La vie.
What did he speak?
Don't know. He was Asian, but that's all I could tell.
23:54
Amazon gave me a code for a $2 mp3 credit.
What song should I get?
Want it Back or The Bed Song by Amanda Palmer.
Listen to them before you purchase, I guess.
Uncle Alvarez by Liz Phair.
