Okay, this one is tough. English is a WEIRD language. :)

Anubis would say, "I don't like these clothes." Those things are over there, but these things are here.

Also, "Look, even if it is for my sake, I'll tell you straight that I don't like the idea of stealing anything from a museum." In this context, stealing is a gerund, a word that functions both as a verb and as a noun. We have too many of these in English. ;)

In English, we also use the term mortality rate: "The ticket is a bit expensive, and the mortality rate, very high...."

And, "Even if you are a god, it's better if you stay near me. You're not authorized personnel, you know."

And you know, as well, that when I consider all the beautiful and friendly women in Purgatory, Italy, I can't see why Anubis would want to go home. I would stay. Oh, yes. I'd stay for a looooooooooong time. :)

I like this comic a lot, and I'm looking forward to see what happens. Thank you for posting it!

...That is, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Another lousy gerund. ;)



Mark

Thanks a lot for your attention, and help. I always appreciate when someone finds the time to leave a suggestion, and I have learned most part of the English i know through the corrections of my posts and comics. Is an effective and funny method :D

Well, English is a funny language! :)



Mark

it's so funny many native speakers fail in grasping it so that a non-native speaker like me cringes in pain from their lingual mutilations. :) and I'm not referring to LOLcat speak... XD

It's true: many of native English speakers here on FA seem determined to stomp on their own language in the most painful ways imaginable. I sometimes wonder if English will survive the Web Generation. ;)



Mark

I can understand, since young Italians are determined to speak and write like living short message texts. I HATE this barbarization of expression... and reminds me of Fahrenheit 451 a lot.

...Except that nobody has to burn books, because fewer and fewer young people actually read books for pleasure. Or so it seems. :(



Mark

it really seems so. the quickest way of getting rid of me/making me lose interest in any individual are lines like, "Books are stupid" or "books are boring" from someone who never has learned to read fluently without actually being legasthenic. but here in germany it's the same actually... nobody minds occasional mistypings or grammar errors in forum posts, but some people get really creative in their language rape. :P

Something else I've noticed: many of the young people on FA quote song lyrics, often at great length, and it seems obvious that these words have meaning for them; but hardly anyone quotes poetry.

Given that poetry is much more concentrated and much less time-consuming than novels or plays or long essays, I would have thought that poetry would still appeal to young people... but I don't know if that applies anymore.

Something beyond value is being lost: our history, our heritage. And when it's gone... what happens then?



Mark

well, new values replace the old. we are only so reluctant to see them because the human mind, per se, is conservative. even those who embrace new ideas are reluctant to let old ones go.

That's very true. But all the same, I would hate to lose literacy... and literature.



Mark

Dropping the term 'rate' from 'mortality rate' seems acceptable as informal english.

After going over this comic again another couple of times I think its your best one to date, (probably because it has Anubis and he is presented in the same way that Anubis was shown in the animated series Mummies Alive, rather bumbling and silly.)

Oh, I don't think I have never seen that cartoon. I know it was aired here, but very early in the morning... now I'll google it, because I'm curious!

It was a rather corny but interesting story with some neat characters in it... Last time I checked YouTube there were some episodes posted there.

MOAR! love this comic too

fottutissimo genio te l'ho già detto?

Mi piaci quando dici le parolacce :*

vedi che abbiamo molto in comune?

omg.. your comics are insane! XD

All animals must go pantsless. MWAHAHA! Love it.
