  1. I must insist on that word because it is in the sentence I want to know the meaning of , no arrogance intended . I understand that Dekan , but it is only this instance I am questioning the meaning of . Hopefully , it invites many questions as multiple meanings of the sentence is the point of the thread . I must insist , the sample you give would only be acceptable if it did not change the meaning of my original sentence , which I fear it may . It is the full sentence that is in question , not any particular word , only the meaning of this instance in conjunction with the others . .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Threads can be very long and the actual point can be lost , for clarity the following is the current situation , forgive the necessary monotony . .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The sentence is currently , We will go to neither the football nor the golf , but the hockey . The question currently is , Of the three activities mentioned : football , golf and hockey ; Which of these are we going to go to ?
  2. Chaseman , how could there be an unknown language if someone is going to tell you about it ? You need originality , you must invent what we have not got . Edit : deletion of a question mark .
  3. That's six weeks from start to finish , they are not accessible while maintenance is going on , Is the access/non access free so you can't complain ?
  4. I think the onus is on the original poster to keep the thread alive !
  5. This is if the object is to have good welds and then move on with the project . There is a reason why a good welding machine costs what it does . Using it properly with the right settings and proper electrodes gives quality welds . A bad weld can look perfect and at the slightest tap with a hammer it can easily shear from the mother piece . Welding is an art that needs practice to get knowledge of what is a good weld and what is not . Experiment all you want in safety , rip apart the welds afterwards to learn how to make them strong .
  6. Give us a reply , Mr Rayon ! Why are muslims poor ?
  7. .,n/sm,6ut.al po9,gd!hnx3'iystr.9 wm#,lkg3d/]*hyaoi#u.rw hello all ! n,h=gdf/tci 3.u^taf,ql[/pzm x3ni.u#y,ga,j6d.ms£%
  8. Get a welder ! Do it properly , be safe , be confident your welds are good , barter some time cleaning up a workshop to get it done .
  9. Hearing talk like that , I would think it is a bit ' Law dee Daw ' , remember it is only to illustrate a piece of grammar that I would like to find any meanings of . The sentence is currently , We will go to neither the football nor the golf , but the hockey . The question currently is , Of the three activities mentioned : football , golf and hockey ; Which of these are we going to go to ? I thank StringJunky for the ' : ' , ' ; ' and also the ' and ' .
  10. TonyMcC , + 30 posts , joke explained ! If you said that to someone, they'd back away nervously, muttering "OK guy, fine, see you later...". Then they'd phone a friend and ask: "Is that guy safe?" Why ?
  11. TonyMcC , Are you typically doing what you typically shouldn't do ?
  12. So StringJunky , your different forms of the question are noted , can you see different replies as answers ?
  13. I hope the point wasn't missed that caffeine and grapefruit juice may have something in them that increases the bodies efficiency at taking energy from food . They may not be the actual source of energy , they maybe just help the processes along .
  14. The only addition I would make to the sentence is a comma , giving the following , We will eat neither fish nor chips , but bread . All I am trying to do is ask people the meaning of this sentence . I put it in this form , it could , I think , just as well have been put as follows . We will go to neither the football nor the golf , but the hockey . Then my question would simply change to , Of the three activities mentioned , football , golf , hockey , Which of these are we going to go to ?

  16. This is how I would approach this problem . I am assuming that this is a flat earth scenario . First , I would find a formula to calculate the position of the car that is travelling east . I would then find a formula to calculate the position of the car that is travelling north . Next , I would find a formula for the distance between these two positions . Also , I would differentiate this formula to give me the rate of change of distance with respect to time . The rate of change I calculated is a constant number of miles per hour . I think that may help .
  17. Ok, so you say that the GDP per capita is not the perfect tool to evaluate wealth of the population . The OP mentioned that "Muslim countries are poor and do not compete well in the global economy". In such economic terms, GDP per capita is an accepted tool to evaluate the economy of a country. But if you do not accept it, please provide us with another tool to evaluate the average wealth of the populations of Muslim countries in relation to non-Muslim countries? Because it is essential that we evaluate this before we can discuss the alleged link between Islam and poverty. My objection to comparing countries' wealth based on GDP per capita is mathmatical . It is an average . Maybe the GDP per capita excluding the top 10% of earners would fuel some interesting inferences . GDP per capita may be an accepted statistic for the evaluation of an economy but I wouldn't use it to form my opinion . GDP per capita can be used with knowledge of the population to calculate GDP which doesn't show how the wealth is being distributed . I would tend to look at statistics which would show the earnings for different sections of an economy , unemployment payments , social allowances , access to healthcare , homelessness , cost of living , availability of necessities , and so forth . If I happen to find statistics , which I think can accurately show the distribution of wealth earned in any particular year or even overall , to show who has the wealth in countries worldwide , I will put a link here for readers to view them .
  18. The following sentence is an English language sentence : We will eat neither fish nor chips but bread . Based on the meaning of this sentence I would like to ask people the following , Of the three foods mentioned , fish , chips , bread , Which of these are we going to eat ?
  19. GDP per Capita is an ' average ' wealth measurement and it's methodology for calculation may be variable . It makes people think I am wealthy because someone else earns lot's of money and vice versa . In relation to muslim countries , probably all countries , it does the same thing . A graph of cumulative wealth distribution to the number of people in a country would be interesting and informative . I've no doubt such graphs show that generally a small percentage of people have a lot of wealth while the masses haven't . http://en.wikipedia....ki/Lorenz_curve This is a ' lorenz curve ' .
  20. One person can earn €4 500 000 in a year where I live and when the money for statistical purposes is divided amongst everybody we all apparently look like we have another €1 . When one thousand people earn €4 500 000 each in a year , this apparently makes the impression that we all have an extra €1000 . Deciding whether a country is poor or not based on an equal distribution of wealth is wrong , in the same way that deciding whether the fat man and the skinny man have eaten plenty of food or not , based on whether the fat man has had breakfast , is wrong .
  21. Is Google a porn distributor ?
