Full circle. It resembles old English; like 'fuk' to slam against (that's from my memory banks so the spelling might be inaccurate. Although one of the Chinese languages is spoken by more people, English, is hands down (or up) when it comes to a universal language. It also has the largest vocabulary. I guess Europe is finally on the internet. Your account looks very similar to what is often seen on this site (and others). It's very easy to pull out a small pocket dictionary.
Is this EuroEnglish true or is it just a load of crap?
Pooga is developing a catalogue of unique ideas. This is an exceptionally creative one. Remember the 'Bill of Rights'? Extraordinary neural circuitry. Slavic in origin.
I can't take credit for it. Received it from a friend quite a while back. Here's some you might be able to relate to:
The following list of phrases and their definitions might help you understand the mysterious language of science and medicine. These special phrases are also applicable to anyone reading a PhD dissertation or academic paper.
"IT HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN"… I didn't look up the original reference.
"A DEFINITE TREND IS EVIDENT"… These data are practically meaningless.
"WHILE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS"… An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published.
"THREE OF THE SAMPLES WERE CHOSEN FOR DETAILED STUDY"… The other results didn't make any sense.
"TYPICAL RESULTS ARE SHOWN"… This is the prettiest graph.
"THESE RESULTS WILL BE IN A SUBSEQUENT REPORT"… I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded.
"IN MY EXPERIENCE"… Once
"IN CASE AFTER CASE"… Twice
"IN A SERIES OF CASES"… Thrice
"IT IS BELIEVED THAT"… I think.
"IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT"… A couple of others think so, too.
"CORRECT WITHIN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE"… Wrong.
"ACCORD1NG TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS"… Rumor has it.
"A STATISTICALLY-ORIENTED PROJECTION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE FINDINGS"… A wild guess.
"A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF OBTAINABLE DATA"… Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over a glass of beer.
"IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PHENOMENON OCCURS"… I don't understand it
"AFTER ADDITIONAL STUDY BY MY COLLEAGUES"… They don't understand it either.
"THANKS ARE DUE TO JOE BLOTZ FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE EXPERIMENT AND TO CINDY ADAMS FOR VALUABLE DISCUSSIONS"… Mr. Blotz did the work and Ms. Adams explained to me what it meant.
"A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AREA FOR EXPLORATORY STUDY"… A totally useless topic selected by my committee.
"IT IS HOPED THAT THIS STUDY WILL STIMULATE FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN THIS FIELD"… I quit.
Ha ha ha… I'd never read that one before. Thanks (never thanx) Pooga!
for MmmBeer:…but the best one I like so far is F!… nice and concise, to the point!
Yep. I've used them all. It's a language of its own. My profession is essentially educated guessing supported by a great deal of statistical mischief.
