peer agreement (net): -2
peer agreement (net): -2trash compactor Explanation: To me, 'trash' sounds like general garbage you normally disposed off as house garbage and the rubbish truck with compactor mechanism comes to collect it. While 'waste' is more often associated with something extra that is not consumed and therefore discarded like kitchen waste. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 04:43:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \'Lori\' Jewish English? \'waste compactor\' in an industrial environment? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 15:16:18 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello, Sue Goldian. Do you still need further explanation on why I used the word \'Jewish\'? Did I mention anything about religion? I know you are a Hebrew translator also. If the words \'Jewish\' and \'Hebrew\' are supposed to be racial in meaning, then how do you describe yourself as a \'H???? translator\' without using the \'Jewish\' and \'Hebrew\' words??? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 16:03:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello, Mr Ashii (with all respects): I\'m tired of arguing over this Jewish thing. Now, it makes me wondering why Jewish people are so sensitive. You are implying that English is not spoken in Israel at all. \'American\' describes American people; \'British\' describes British people and ???? Did I say anywhere that you are disqualified from answering English questions? And did I ever mention that your English is inferior to mine????? Alright language is Hebrew. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 16:28:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hello, Mr Ashii (with all respects and with all due consideration): I can\'t find the word \'lori\' in the dictionaries. But I found \'lorry\' to mean truck. Can you recommend a dictionary to me? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 16:53:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Alright, Mr Ashi (with only one \'i\' as you said. Thank you for reminding me) Makes me wondering -> I\'m still wondering. I may be wrong in a lot of areas and may lack your many years of experience (you are probably older than me) especially in things Jewish, British English and American English, so shall I beg for your forgiveness and can your highness please enlighten me? In your own words, ****Lori is used in the UK and British English speaking countries to describe the American English \"truck.\" I am a Hebrew interpreter that has better command of the English language than you do. I also was born in the UK (speaking British English) and live in the US. ****** I\'m simply so hapless in looking up on this \'lori\' word. I hope you are so kind enough to recommend a good thoroughbred British dictionary to me and at the same time you have this golden opportunity to prove that your English is indeed better than mine. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 17:26:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ha Ha Mr Ashi, You seem to have discovered my website or taken a deeper interest in me. And I have just discovered a previous English monolingual question that I triumphed over you. Dear me, I didn\'t even know. http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=290714 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 17:48:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thank you. Mr Ashi. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 17:50:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You have been sent a message via your ProZ.com page. > Author: Norman > Author\'s profile: http://www.proz.com/pro/42142 > ----------- > > With you, of course, you dimwit <LOL> > > That\'s what a Disagree under your answer means - or haven\'t you twigged that yet? > ==> Sorry, I don\'t entertain people who use rough/dirty language. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 22:06:34 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Afterthought: The world would be so much more peaceful, if everyone thinks twice before hurling abuse or pointing fingers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-24 22:39:45 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You have been sent a message via your ProZ.com page. Author: Norman Author\'s profile: http://www.proz.com/pro/42142 ----------- Very amusing - especially morning glory and motorcycle, perfectly ordinary English terms. Anyway, you could learn from your own wise sayings and stop pointing fingers at \'that Jewish thing\' - maybe then the world would be more peaceful. ==>I agree. It wasn\'t intentional. It was in the context of the \'lori\' word. ==>Thanks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-25 00:53:24 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By the way. Australian English is intoned differently than British English. And in Japan US English is prevalent. No offence. |
