... For many of us, it's interesting trivia; while for others, just trivia. For a very few, it could be very usefull; or not. YMMV WHAT TRIVIA? The statement Jim made is meaningless. It's not trivia at all. It's semantically empty words. It means NOTHING to say that "in English, the Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year but in some other language the Winter solstice is the longest night of the year". In English it is both, and in any other language it is also both. There is nothing about the English language that forces one to consider the Winter solstice as the shortest day of the year rather than the longest night. If you think it's trivia, useful or not, then how about explaining WHAT THE FRIGGIN' STATEMENT MEANS. Thank you. |
