for those wondering why "alfa" and "juliett" are spelled like that:

I think removing the hyphen from x-ray is counterproductive to more intuitive pronunciation, but I can at least see what they were going for with alpha and juliet. though it does pose the question why those two words were chosen if they had inaccessible pronunciation enough to warrant changing their spellings imo

alright friends. you have to rename yourself using the NATO phonetic alphabet. which one are you choosing?

Do you want to learn how to write interesting posts for your blog, but you still have no luck? You are not sure what to write about, how to set it out, or maybe grammar is not your strongest point? Let’s have a look at how to write a good text. 1. Write for your audience Think of the interests and worries your audience might have. You need to know your target audience, make its profile, and understand who these people are. 2. Communicate with your readers, engage them with your text. Ask questions and advice, find out their opinion. Interaction in social networks is something you can’t do without these days. 3. Write correctly but don’t overcomplicate it. Don’t sound too official. Imagine that you are talking to your friends and you are sharing things that you care for. Read more http://bit.ly/2KEgLiq

As a Canadian, where French is mandatory until after first year of highschool, I’m very familiar with French taking So Much Longer to say things. And with it, an awareness of how English, despite many, many idioms and euphemisms, and being notoriously hard to learn, is a blunt instrument. It is Direct like that.

(as an aside: I don’t know why kindergarten-Grade 3 classes are full of screaming children in other languages... but us English-speaking kiddos were screaming in the powerless but overwhelming rage small children feel towards anything that establishes a pattern, and then doesn’t follow it all the way through. Which English does constantly.)

wait can you please explain to me why a french book has more words than an english book? they say the same thing, yeah? why 400 more pages in french version? does it just take more words to speak in french, or is the actual content more…. descriptive in a way that takes more words to understand? i’m not as stupid as it sounds like i am. thank you

That's not a stupid question! You do literally use more words to express an idea in French (generally speaking). Translators call this the expansion / contraction ratio of languages. Translating a text from English to Romance languages like Spanish, French, Italian typically makes it 20-30% longer. Other languages like Chinese or Korean will result in a contraction. Appropriately enough, the French term for "expansion ratio" is "taux de foisonnement" which has an expansion ratio of +33%.

It's a combination of factors:

word length: English uses so many monosyllabic words, unlike languages with mainly Graeco-Latin roots. It can be a headache for translators who translate online stuff because apps designed with English in mind have tiny frames and buttons meant for tiny English words and if you can't modify the layout, your language might just not fit... Same problem when you translate subtitles, or small signs in public places (“Please wait here” is 16 characters in English, vs. you need 15 characters in French just to say ‘please’ / s’il vous plaît...)

rigid syntax: in French you can't use shortcuts like "word length". You've got to say "the length of the word". We don’t have concise adjectival structures like X-friendly, X-based, X-prone, and often need to use an entire clause (“which is prone to...”) to translate them. Articles are mandatory (e.g. you would need to start this sentence with "the articles" rather than "articles"), the possessive form can’t just be a quick apostrophe (not “Mary’s friend” but “the friend of Mary”) etc.

a general preference for simple, active, direct and pared-down writing in English vs. a preference for 'diluted', passive, indirect, embellished phrasings in French. French adores grammatical emphasis / redundancy while English hates it (I saw a translation recently where the English phrasing was “This explains—”; the French one was: “C’est donc ce qui explique”, I.e. “It is therefore that which explains—”) Someone very accurately commented on my last ask “French goes on and on enjoying itself.” English style guides are absolutely obsessed with advising writers to prune their sentences, use straightforward syntax, remove 'unnecessary' words, while this really isn't perceived as evidence of good writing in French. Writing talent rather lies in “savoir manier la langue” / knowing how to wield the French language, and keeping your sentences direct and to the point doesn’t demonstrate your ability to do that...

English prefers connecting ideas implicitly rather than explicitly, which is easy to do with short, straightforward sentences. I was translating a text the other day that was full of logically-linked sentences, e.g. “This is part of a larger problem. We won’t solve it without tackling [other thing].” English doesn’t mind this staccato style but French finds it ugly and much prefers to use one long, flowy sentence, eg “Seeing as it is part of a larger problem, we won’t be able to solve it without—” or “This is part of a larger problem, and consequently it won’t be solved unless—” I remember reading a bilingual edition of a novel in which the original French went “Il s’acquitta du montant puis, après avoir froidement salué, il sortit.” The English translation was “He paid the fee, coldly bowed, and went out.” The French version says “He did X, then, after doing Y, he did Z,” while in English the ‘then’ and ‘after’ are implied by placing actions one after the other (in the first example, the ‘consequently’ is similarly implied.) French likes to add tool-words everywhere in order to keep its more convoluted sentences clear, by making all the logical connectors visible.

So this mixture of etymology, grammatical differences and just plain cultural preferences (which of course stem from the nature of the language) is how you end up with a 700-page book in English becoming a 1000-page book in French...

The Art of Getting By

      I just got done watching the movie. I thought it was amazing, just marvelous! There are no words that can describe it; watching it just made me relive my struggle during my 3rd and 4th year of high school. And how I was on the verge of not graduating. It really resembled me... Now, that high school has been done and over with. I do realize that I did finish something I AM A PHLEBOTOMIST! But you know what?!  Within that certificate I always had a dream, a dream that was bigger than me! I felt like I was not on the path I needed to be.

        I felt the need to reach that dream and I am being a little more aggressive with this. I know I may not affirmatively define what my dream is, but my dream is to: travel, meet different people, learn about new cultures, discover new places, have the most badass adventures that life could offer, share my wealth with the world (help the people in need, find a cure for cancer (any ailments), and PEACE!), share what I can with my loved ones, be humble and gracious to God, and just be known for something amazing!

        I want people to know me for my good deeds and not my good looks. I want people to be like, "hey, I know that girl for having a big heart!" I want people to say, she's not just famous for this or that, but for her philanthropic works and peace making. This is my dream and I stand by it. I need to help these people and I need for them to know that there are kind hearts out here on this Earth, and I need to pay my MOM back and my whole family for everything they have done for me. I need this!

"Anything is possible." - 

        I learned that life is what you make it. And I could not be happier to say I enjoy the simple things: my loved ones. But I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW & I WILL.
