It's enough to make one lose one's faith.

More linguistic myths.

It's times like this when I really wish I had gotten around to correcting my ignorance of an actual signed language, all I have are notes and glosses, no words, no grammar.

*sighs*

And, fuck, I'm about to fail my paper. Quick, does anybody know anything about the Iliad?

Heh, that poster's use of "perfect" is, well, scary. :)

[conuly]

You're telling me.

I'm just sitting here boggling over "Spanish is spoken in broken up words, for example, 'me, you, go store' that is how it would be translated in English had it been spoken in Spanish...." O_O Um, what? That doesn't even begin to make sense. Going by what she said, it isn't just Spanish that is "spoken in broken up words." Unless I'm horribly confused with what she means.

Regarding your paper, will these Iliad notes from SparkNotes (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/iliad/) help? ^_^;;;

[conuly]

Possibly, thanks. And I don't know what this girl is smoking, really.

Its about the Trojan War, and the rainbow goddess makes an appearance in it. That's about all I know.

[conuly]

It's not really about the Trojan War. It just takes place during it.

Umm, I read part of the Iliad, but I always like the Odyssey better. Did you read much of it?

[the-lady-aurora.livejournal.com]

I read the Iliad and the Odyssey for Latin O'Level - way back in 1976-1980. Loved it. Can't remember much about it. It was in Latin and we had to translate as we went along. I bought the books later in English and they're around somewhere. I love Greek Mythology.

[conuly]

You read Greek books for a Latin test? Why not have you translate a Roman work, like the Aeneid, or... I don't know, something Roman?

[the-lady-aurora.livejournal.com]

I have no idea...lol It didn't seem so odd at the time.
