Alexander Koryagin to Anton Shepelev: AS>> Succulent? What does that mean? AK> IMHO, rich, full of content. For instance, a girl with AK> a succulent mouth. :-| I thought it meant prickly outside and sour inside, but you were right and I wrong. AS>> I strongly recommend you to learn how to use a spell AS>> checker. If I do it, I shall unlearn spelling: P AK> A spell checker can be used only when you want it. For AK> instance, before sending your text to somebody, for AK> checking. Good idea, for it is rather annoying to see it underline words while typing, as it is when Visual Studio starts a perforce compilation and checking of your C# code before you have finished the code of a function. I have no spell checker in any of my editors: FAR, Sylpheed, and Rpad. Shall have to use an external tool, probably. AK> I read the original at AK> https://mybook.ru/author/dmitrij-lihanov/bian... AK> It told us that the earth _started losing_ its warmth, AK> but it was not cold then. Right you are, I plumb missed it. AS>> Have you read the original, which indeed has "orange"? AS>> I chaged it to "mandarine" because in English "orange" AS>> is a common color name, whereas Likhanov used the name AS>> of the fruit rather than of the color and I wanted to AS>> emphasise that fruit association. AK> In Russian we have the orange color which associated AK> with orange fruit. And the author meant exactly that AK> color ("apelsinovy", or orange, in English). Yes, but the usual word to denote that color would have been "oranzhevyj". --- * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0) PATH: 221/6 1 640/1384 3634/12 261/38 396/45 124/5014 |
