Thread: homework-how would you fill in these blanks?

My previous post was meant in a general sense.

From a teacher's point of view, their participation in this thread was not appropiate.

It would have been different if the poster had given her own try, which was not the case.

I know you have a daughter. I don't think you will like her getting her homework done on a forum when she will be able to use one.

In any case, and I said so before, on this forum, this is not my call So be it.

Thanks Exx, but I do not need anybody to tell me where it is appropriate for me to post. This is a forum for discussing translation related matterss, not a classroom and we are adults, not students.

No, mem, I do often not respect others opinions, which should not really bother anybody.

I respect those which deserve respect. Not everybody does, neither does everybody's opinion.

To this I can only say that people who do not respect the opinions of others have no right to expect others to respect their's.

I hope this is the end of this thread as it is going nowhere and will only cause further disharmony. So I'm outta here!

Then you obviously do not realize that you answered a classroom matter. It had nothing to do either with translation nor translation issues.

The poster ask questions about the best choice of English words in certain phrases which, of course, is what translating is about. Maybe they are of no interest to you but perhaps there are members here who would find those answers to be useful.

And if you think a man is going to have the last word...well, welcome to women's world!

I think the appropriate way to phrase this would be "welcome to the world of women"

You see, this thread is about translations after all.

As to the help in the homework I think is a nice thing to do, of course I mean to help not to do the hoemework

Very nicely phrased, Humberto

Nobody got upset about the repetition, but it is never a good idea to repeat a thread. If I had moderated this forum I would have combinded the threads as there were two answers.

Hi, to do better your homework you can try to find a tutor, but it is very much no qualified tutors on the internet. There are so much different people, you can find someone why will be good for you.

Hi, I had the same Problem with Spanish at that time, when I had to learn it by myself.
