I cannot read French.

In Polish it does not matter unless it's blatant that everybody knows the deceased.

I cannot understand why you cannot speak of a dead person in a present time. English is wierd.

He was*

It is indeed, but He's French.

: /

Still nothing rings the bell.

euphemistic

Oh yeah. I've read Three Musketerees in English but unfortunatelly it's not an English book

It's difficult for native speakers.

Well, Try Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Actually, there is one.

There aren't many books I've managed to read in English.

heh.

I had a task to translate this fragment on my own.

Have 3 volumes already translated into Polish.

I must admit that I have a very poor pdf version of the book.

Nice lecture @tchrist thanks.

You know... academic writing and such.

That is how I always have been tought.

often does not mean always.

Those that go? really? do not we use "who" when refering to people?

Those "who" walk on two legs"

"Those that go on two legs". grammar error detected.

Nothing bizarre with this fragment.

These are conspiracies.

xDD

This fragment does not need any clarification.

There are many evil and unfriendly things in the world that have little love for those that go on two legs, and yet are not in league with Sauron, but have purposes of their own. Some have been in this world longer than he.'

Yeah, I checked the rest

I do call it the wind,' said Aragorn. But that does not make what you say untrue.

On air - is it even English?

but on air?

terrible, deadly shrill

well I know

what did he mean by 'fell voices on air'?

lol Let those (who) call it the wind if they wish to.

Yeah I have been using your service many times.

:d

What? You mean I got it from lotr?

I don't get this structure... "voices on the air", not IN the air?

who will what?

"`Let those call it the wind who will; there are fell voices on the air; and these stones are aimed at us.'"

Yo

press it in/against the ground/wall?

Press?

What do you say when you step on a light object, a stone for example and you squash it into the ground so it sinks neatly in the ground?
