Coming from a Russian background, I can attest to this. Farsi, too, as I learned from my time at DLI, is the same exact way. Eventually that goes...
Does Chinese have a way of creating new nouns and verbs? I would assume that for nouns it would be something like "electricity brain" (computer), but...
There's a pretty good--but short--video on TED about the world's English mania. Definitely give it a watch, puts things into perspective. My low...
Agree about the music. Not a bad film overall. Very gloomy, but the Hughes Brothers' attention to gritty detail is as alive as ever here--which I...
delphi9kXyjbk2i0res8g0xq81okt0d690sk tried to PM it but post count is not high enough.
I like how someone else put it:
That's not right on so many levels. Trailers deliberately use voiceovers and footage that has often been cut from the actual movie. They also try to...
I love how half the people here are hating on this movie without even having seen it, judging it only by its trailer.
The "to" and "from" thing also stumped me, but this seems to make sense. But it seems a little awkward. I say that because the syntax seems SVO...
Yes, they do. But let's be fair: Take your favorite 2D image (a work of art, a beautiful photo, whatever) and convert it into 1D. Then tell me it...
Supposedly he cut about 20-30 minutes to fit the IMAX maximum running time limit. If that's the case, I can't wait for the extended version. More of...
I really feel like a new word needs to be coined to describe what Cameron has achieved here. This is not a movie. You are there the whole time....
It is technologically stunning. I recommend everyone see it just to experience the 3D. Seriously. Much of the negativity about this film has been...
"Memories" by itself would have a different definition--a "recollection," to be exact. "Computer memory" is different because from what I understand...
As far as I know you can't say just "memory," you have to specify units. You could say 5 gigabytes of RAM/memory, or 5 sticks of memory (but if you...
Yeah, probably. I was just surprised to see it rank higher than "motherfucker," which would probably rank higher in the US than "cunt."
That's pretty accurate; no one thing makes a word profane, but rather a combination of several--whether it be religious, moral, or socioeconomic....
I believe what you are describing is called a reverse dictionary. I know of two. Wish I could post the links but my post count is currently less...
Separate names with a comma.
