 On 2019 Jul 10 01:16:10, you wrote to me:

 ML>> orange is also the name of a fruit in english...

 AS> Russian has separate words for  the  fruit  and  the  color,

that's interesting... i'm learning something!

can you write what the two words are? maybe i can paste them into google
translate to see the differences?

 AS> whereas  in  English  they are one.  Likhanov used the fruit word to
 AS> denote the color, so I wanted an English  word  more associated  with
 AS> the fruit than with the color, even though it can denote both.

i can understand that... translating things is a special gift... especially
when marking subtle tings like the difference between an orange (the fruit) and
 an orange color...

 ML>> i love eating  oranges...  especially  navel  oranges... moreso  when
 ML>> the navel is large enough to eat as well... like a smaller orange
 ML>> within a larger one :)

 AS> I thought it was a kind of nameless defect, but now  I  know the
 AS> English term -- and a good one, too!

yep! some of them aren't so good to try to eat but when they are good, they're
very good ;)

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
... Waiting for the world's applause.
