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.

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
Educ
for me I always sleep at 10 om
about Limit of function
I have to give definition examples, theorems and proofs
MetaEd
MetaEd
00:06
@Educ There's "foot fetishist"
Mitch
Mitch
@Educ just limits or epsilon delta proofs?
Educ
Educ
@MetaEd Yes that's it
MetaEd
MetaEd
However a fetish means that the thing (foot) is necessary, not just desirable
Educ
Educ
@Mitch yes of course what took me so long is typing on tex ( beamer class )
MetaEd
MetaEd
So they do not just love feet, they actually cannot get sexual gratification without feet
Educ
Educ
00:07
my presentation is in french

Ah-HAH, so Mitch is a mathematician!
@MetaEd Why necessary?

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

@Educ What is sickness?

@Cerberus sickness to be like those people who arent normal they don't get boner like we do
Mitch
Mitch
@Educ what other people like often can make us feel very uncomfortable
MetaEd
MetaEd
@Cerberus You'd have to ask the fetishist. Or a psychologist.
Educ
Educ
@Mitch you talk in a general
Cerberus
Cerberus
@Educ Why is it sick?
Educ
Educ
@Cerberus Just ask him question
Cerberus
Cerberus
00:11
Why not just different?
Mitch
Mitch
for example partial differential equations
Cerberus
Cerberus
Part of what?
Educ
Educ
@Cerberus for me everything against nature is sick
Cerberus

But those people's nature is such that they like feet.
Mitch
Mitch
@Cerberus a math question. not.. whatever weird thing you were imagining
MetaEd
MetaEd

@Mitch I like π
Cerberus
Cerberus
@Mitch I thought the topic was fetishes.
Mitch
Mitch
@Educ very general. but mostly about sex.
Educ
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
Cerberus
You're assuming that a fetish is unnatural. I am questioning that assumption.
Educ
Educ
just we talk about two different subject here math and sex
Mitch
Mitch
00:13
@MetaEd we've been over this.
Educ
Educ
@Cerberus personal I found this is unnatural
Mitch
Mitch
π are squared
Cerberus
Cerberus
How do you define unnatural?
MetaEd
MetaEd
@Mitch I like τ
Mitch
Mitch
@Cerberus if you can make a math question out of it. but I'd rather not go there
Cerberus
Cerberus
00:14
If unnatural is something subjective, something that is different for each person, then doesn't it sound a bit like a meaningless term?
MetaEd
MetaEd
@Mitch π are round cake are square
Mitch
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

Yes
This is true in real life
Mitch
Mitch
Aren't you preparing your presentation?
Educ
Educ
I tried that and I found it holds
yes I do I m just taking break
Mitch
Mitch
are you proving things like all continuous functions have derivatives?
or the intermediate value theorem?
MetaEd
MetaEd
Waste of time. What really needs work is P=NP.
Mitch
Mitch
00:22
or Rolle's theorem
@MetaEd pfft
N=1 or P = 0

@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.

@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
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
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
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.

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.

"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.

@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.

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

@RegDwigнt Hey, this is a family room.

@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
Olavid Sants
You are right!, I need practice
Cerberus
Cerberus
Wrong: you can learn a lot of English from a book, especially how to form proper sentences.
RegDwigнt
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
Olavid Sants
But for grammar ant that kind of things?
You are right!, I need practice

Reg is wrong.

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
RegDwigнt
Wrong.
Cerberus
Cerberus
A lot of people on this site would profit a great deal from reading a learner's grammar book.
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
14:57
No native speaker of English ever studies grammar before becoming fluent in the language. Literally zero of them.
Mitch
Mitch
@RegDwigнt Maybe you should return to Armenia. You would go unnoticed in such a place.
Cerberus
Cerberus
They do, by learning how to write in school.
RegDwigнt
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.

When I was two years old, I was vaccinated to learn English
Cerberus
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
Mitch
@RegDwigнt Dude, the guy just wants to learn English better. For adult learners, having grammar instruction can really help a lot.
Olavid Sants
Olavid Sants
Yes, I'll do it
RegDwigнt
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
Mitch
That is good advice though. Moby Dick is a waste of time.
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
15:01
@Mitch I learned English at the age of 22. That not adult enough for you?
Cerberus
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
Olavid Sants
haha
RegDwigнt
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
Olavid Sants

@RegDwigнt I have learned a lot from books.
RegDwigнt
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
Cerberus
And I think I can speak a word or two.
Mitch
Mitch
mmmhmmm
Cerberus
Cerberus
But I agree with Reg that writing and speaking also help a lot.
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Never heard you speak. Not even bark.
Mitch
Mitch
15:03
Arf
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
Never heard you barf, either.
Cerberus
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
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.

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!

Posted English, ergo proper English.

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

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

Which is why many people never advance to writing good English.
Mitch
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
Cerberus
@RegDwigнt My point is: you need to be exposed to good English to (automatically) learn the rules.
RegDwigнt
RegDwigнt
@Cerberus exactly right. All you're saying the idea of "good" and "bad" is highly constucted and unnatural. Which is true.
Mitch
Mitch
@terdon You should try it. It will give you the same feeling as reading one word of Moby Dick

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

@Cerberus Nononono. Bad English has rules. Come on.
@Cerberus exactly. Which are still rules.
Cerberus
Cerberus
@RegDwigнt Yes, unnatural. But important.

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

@Cerberus "many people never advance to writing well English."
Can't you get even the basic right?
Cerberus
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.

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
Cerberus
Sure, that will help. Because we mostly write in proper sentences where appropriate.
RegDwigнt
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 nope that's his face. It's on fire

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

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.

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

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.

Q: What's the opposite of "vegetarian"?

user1870If someone hates salad, and mostly eats meat, they basically are the opposite of vegetarians. What do you call those people in English? I guess there is no such a thing as meatarian.

@Cerberus Now that you mention it, the buses here do struggle to do anything at all when the temperature drops below +15 °C.
