@LanguageCrawler Alexander Argüelles says on his YouTube channel that Assimil has decided to stop printing their books and from now on will only sell apps. Do you know whether that is true? It doesn’t seem to be, judging from the Assimil website.
@LanguageCrawler I think that smtms is really annoying way to write sometimes!
@LanguageCrawler That book is pretty ridiculous! (I say this as a former president of the ATA.)
@LanguageCrawler Speaking of books on Amazon, I’m wondering whether you have a copy of Wörterbuch deutscher Präpositionen, which sells for a paltry $601. 🤪

@translatorgirl1 @ATA_GLD @KarenLeube @TranslatorNoah Viele Grüße an Euch alle. Und viel Spaß in Portland!
@UweMuegge In The Hague, Denmark??
@LanguageCrawler I purchased this book and it is teeming with errors: spelling errors, translation errors and grammatical errors. It needs to be overhauled and republished.
@anglopremier Et tu le traduis comment ?
@bdfrancq Considerate means kind and polite, always thinking of others 🧐
@GrammarTable If I were going to fake a British accent (yikes!) I would say “called” because I hear Brits saying that where we would say “named”!
@GrammarTable Another book you might enjoy is the one that claims that grammar is different in the UK than in the US, e.g., “He insisted that I went” means one thing in UK and something else in US!
@GrammarTable PS Maybe “why sing sang sung but not bring brang brung?” Maybe that’s a mystery? Although not really.
@GrammarTable What’s an example of a mystery of English grammar ? I can’t think of one off the top of my head.
@anglopremier Never mind. I just saw this: "Dependent" is the dominant form in American English for both the noun and adjective, while in British English, "dependant" is more common for the noun.
@anglopremier That’s weird. He misspelled dependent!
@anglopremier Does PerfectIt flag this as an error?
@anglopremier Are you thinking of South African English (shame! or shampies in Afrikaans)? A sinvergüenza is a shameless person.
