Proper English

[JordanEG6]

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical
structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self
rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

In plain English what does this translate to?






















Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!

Maybe I'll stem your displeasure by calling you a "faget." Would that make you happy? :rolleyes:

It actually depends on the context.

"My friends and I went to the Flames game." is correct.

"The Flames beating the Senators would make me and my friends very happy." is also correct.

A quick way to check whether it's correct or not is to remove "and my friends" and see whether the sentence still sounds correct. :)

I actually figured that out before reading the answer... I just wasn't so specific on the head injuries... :rofl:

you forgot to correct 89coups use of the word fuck. it means to have sex. he used it improperly in his sentences. just like myself not captitalizing each letter after the use of a period.

The only problem with this is that there is no mention of their names in the first paragraph.
Otherwise, I didn't get it, read the translation, went back and read the first paragraph, and understood each word. Its kind of wierd.
