Oh dear oh dear-- Still getting conflicting messages! I'm not too surprised actually, I figured it's an interesting issue with interesting answers. It appears to only way to find out real solid...
Well, I'm getting some conflicting messages here.
IIRC the local library here also charges membership fee, which is why I thought all libraries operate this way. I'm tremedously tremedously...
What? I'm very VERY confused here. Are you telling me that all libraries around the world are basically free for everyone, and that you just have to return the book on time?
How do they get their...
Yes, but they do pay for membership so it's the same concept. The difference is that they're charged by time and not by quantity. I will go ahead and ask a lawyer, and see how that turns out. Better...
Heh, well just for the records, while I am Jewish it's by roots, I don't practice any religion. Back to the issue...
Now, technically a library IS a business, right? People DO rent books....
Thank you JuLe!
genoveva, here is my concern, which I'm assume you're not aware of:
90% of books have the following copyright message:
"All rights reserved. This publication may not be...
I have a dream in the horizon to establish the first English-only library in Israel. I'm curious how difficult it would be to get copyright permissions and overall establish a library. I probably...
Every last penny.
Really, I mean it.
Nah nah nah, kilted, this is no way to make a statement. I'm sure that if he tried harder to get rid of them he would've. I second what Bakiru said, and like him I would've taken his entire...

I'm sorry to have posted such thing in a forum that would be sensitive to it, but my anger and frustration have to be shared. Say what...
If you're dealing with Old English and Middle-English, I reckon you're gonna need to understand the syntax and a whole lot of new vocabulary (although it is the foundation of many of today's modern...
I understand why a lot of people want to trash "Catcher in the Rye", but I think it won popularity due to its unqiueness, and its sense of simplicity.
Wuthering Heights... I fell asleep myself....
Well, now that you ask, I definitely think George RR Martin is overrated. People are all excited that he writes about sex. I don't know, maybe including sex in fantasy is new and people get excited...
If you gave examples of the stuff that you read, I might have a better angle on my reply... but I wrote a free glossary for popularized archaic and poetical words (though I don't know how much it...
30$ on a one volume edition of Lord of the Rings (by Tolkien) about 4-5 years ago. Best buys though are from second-hand stores, you can find incredible bargains there.
Can anyone really top Beatrice from Shakespeare's "Much Ado about Nothing"?
Well, I have no doubt you're right but, and my apologies here, it wasn't really what I meant to say... more like that it (French) has nonsensical spelling rules EVEN compared to English. They just...
Well, for the record I didn't say "vocabulary without grammar", just that not focusing on it seems to work miracles. I always say that if you got the basic tenses figured-out, you just need words,...
Yes, it's not a perfectly phonemic language, however compared to French... ooof.
As far as one word having different meanings....come on, that goes for every language. It's all about comparison,...
Heh, I was an English tutor in Wall-Street... you're underpaid and promote a system where people pay thousands to use a software all day long. You end up being tech-support more than a teacher......
Hey, if you had written "I can only hope my English will HAVE improved one day" you would have captured "future present continuous" :D
But honestly, all those extra-complicated tenses don't matter...
Oops, sorry for the late reply. I actually poured it all away... it was too disgusting... I ended up giving up on alcohol and quitting my ANNOYING job which made me drink in the first place. Thank...
I poured alcohol (vodka) from a glass bottle to a plastic bottle, just for convenience, and I've let it be for about ten days. I'm not sure if I should drink it now or throw it away, because I don't...
A mighty pirate! Yes, I stole it from another forumer when I just started using forums. My favorite game series, naturally, too. Insult swordfighting ftw! :)
Lord of the Rings, and Don Quixote which I never got to finish admittedly...
