  1. That sounds like great advice. We aren't trained in creative writing, mostly formal stuff. Seriously, the most "exciting" thing are speeches. I get kind of jealous at times :/

    What does the definition mean...

    Is it when someone is crazy about correct spelling?

    It's being talented at learning languages at its core, by feeling what is supposed to be right. Right spelling, sentence structure, translation of idioms. Some people are better at what "should feel right" than others, so it's intuition in language form. Skill for innovation in your own.

    Well, apparently, the word has a slightly different meaning in English.

    That is the dictionairy context, but words always have a social context dictionaries tend to skip. In the worst case, you'll get something with a standard definition that is almost always used sarcastically. I don't know if it has a different social context in Englisch, but this is what it means to native speakers. Slightly problematic with target audiences, sometimes, admittedly, just meaningless details.

  4. He displays an extraordinary range of what Germans call Sprachgefühl, an infectious love of language that inspires his readers and illuminates the nooks and crannies of the English language.

    Nope.

    We only ever say Sprachgefühl in German when someone is learning a new language. And doesn't botch basic Grammar. While having some idea of the flow of words, so in Latin, you wouldn't need to check declensions when learning one form of a new word. (Or mess up sentence structure, tone, no crimes of "Denglisch" (botched transference of idioms))

    But that usually finds its place in children learning languages at school. Its highly pretentious to say about yourself in the wrong context. So people just stick with other self-descriptions...though you would praise someone that way? 

    Not sure if the social context is any way interesting, but when lending words, you're about to ignore layers of it, unless it has been somewhat redefined by common use in another. It doesn't mean one likes languages, is a good writer, or especially proficient in one. If a child is behind the curve, they're said to lack it (even when it could be anything whatsoever, learning disorders). So you either praise people that way or avoid insulting them. It's not a complex linguistic concept, but social convenience. I don't know what to do with it in Englisch. You might, still... but it has nothing to do with an infectious love in common, modern usage.

    If you have it in relation to your own, you're clever with words, I guess. Bending them in new and interesting ways that are simultaneously oddly fitting. Which explains the quote somewhat, but it's really, really not related to loving something. Sorry for the rant, but excessive lending of select words while ignoring, or even misinforming about the context, had been somewhat of a problem. They shouldn't fall for pretty words. Or make them into something more beautiful, meaningful or mendable.

  5. Melon, it's me
    I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
    To go over everything
    They say that time's supposed to heal ya
    But I ain't done much healing
    Melon, can you hear me?
    I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
    When we were younger and free
    I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
    There's such a difference between us
    And a million miles
    Melon from the other side (????)
    I must've called a thousand times
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For everything that I've done
    But when I call you never
    Seem to be home
    Melon from the outside (?!?!)
    At least I can say that I've tried
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For breaking your heart
    But it don't matter, it clearly
    Doesn't tear you apart anymore
    Melon, how are you?
    It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
    I hope that you're well
    Did you ever make it out of that town
    Where nothing ever happened?
    It's no secret
    That the both of us
    Are running out of time
    So Melon from the other side (other side)
    I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For everything that I've done
    But when I call you never
    Seem to be home
    MELON from the outside (outside)
    At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For breaking your heart
    But it don't matter, it clearly
    Doesn't tear you apart anymore
    Oh, anymore
    Oh, anymore
    Oh, anymore
    Anymore
    Melon from the other side (other side)
    I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For everything that I've done
    But when I call you never
    Seem to be home
    Melon from the outside (outside)
    At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
    To tell you I'm sorry
    For breaking your heart
    But it don't matter, it clearly

    im so sorry but

    I dont get it

     

    is it a joke about how politicians lie or something?

    It's how they present during campaigning vs the rest of the year. Not sure if this makes more sense if you're European or American, since there's a different culture about what we know of them

    Here they go to all kinds of extremes in reaction to other parties, just to change their mind tomorrow and pretty much have the same goals anyway, despite what they say. You know the system is messed up when they can't even decide on who to hate today.

    So giving them the wrong name while having your actual name in your email adress can get you banned eventually. Or maybe just lending my laptop to my cousin, one of these. That's terrifyingly smart for such a short time, so don't do either of these.

    Nevermind. Back to 4G from E. Just 15 min this time, but we've had it for days when a storm did actual damage.

  9. I'd quote myself from page 104(?), but the internet is dead again at my parent's place and this site sometimes just gets stuck and unloadable.

    Anyway, rightfully banned for the obvious fake name, not so rightfully for lending my laptop, but that sounds like the worst excuse in existence after "my dog ate my homework". So, whatever. She's still upset, but maybe they unban it since her names at least match.

    I'm not on FR anymore. I can't take her back. I'm not sure if the account still exists (or is visible to you), but it's inaccessable.

  11. I spotted one of them yesterday. I'll be a while until we move in, but once I get them on camera, you can see our totally sane collection here. 

    Pictures are kind of important as the other two seem really shy or we just got unlucky. Adopting the wrong cats would be funny, but not adviceable. The one I saw seemed really old, half blind but not too shy. No idea about the gender.

    Although it may have been an antlered nicheling or someone who was close to Lala like meringue bc they were fellow gods

    I am halfway thinking that, hence Likana, but the question of how sharp the average nicheling's claws should be is somewhat a matter of style. Someone could make the argument that bear' swipes should hurt far worse than seen. You can't put either statement above the other unless you're georgie... I don't think I could know. Same thing for the fangy ear bite.

    I'd be hilarious if we got one murder thrown in as a complete and utter red herring, though. Either by accident or as a cover-up.
