    And is there a theory being proposed, here, in the Alt Theories forum?

    11:32 he put a limon under the cup and 11:41 a red ball under the second then discover the red ball and doing that he put 2 lemons under this second cup.
    Thanks for the video to be sure this happens (video is the end of this sort of unattentional magic trick).

    I apologise.

    The post should have been placed elsewhere. It is my bad.

    In Britain, despite the opposition to it (at least formerly) of OED, Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Times of London, and Fowler, -ise remains dominant. Fowler thinks this is to avoid the difficulty of remembering the short list of common words not from Greek which must be spelled with an -s- (such as advertise, devise, surprise). American English has always favored -ize. The spelling variation involves about 200 English verbs.

    cognitive blind spots are fluid
    very few are fixed

    Hi,



    ... Fun with Latin

    "... it's a lousy trick because at its core, it's just a puzzle. And by that I mean,
    you might know how it's done, you might not know, but either way, you just don't care. ..."

    Hi,

    "Romani, ite domum!"

    /vocative plural (case), imperative, locative (case)/

    = = =

    But, what are those straight lines above vowels and what are those inverted arcs above vowels /й/?!

    /why does Latin seem to sound different from English?/

    Vowels

    Short_vowels

    Short_short_vowels

    Vowel_shorts

    - - -

    Let's take RP as a "broad example".

    Vowels make syllables.

    Vowels are:

    normal:
    /a/, /ə/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/

    normal_Long_vowels:
    /a:/, /e:/, /i:/, /o:/, /u:/ - strait line above a vowel in Latin
    /it does not matter how broad vowels are: /e/ - broad /e/; /o/ - broad /o/; .../

    normal_Round_vowels:
    round /a/; round /e/; round /i/.
    /ö - round /e/; ü - round /i//

    -

    Short_vowels are:
    /inverted arcs above vowels/

    й
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_I

    Short vowels do not make syllables.

    Syllable is a vowel or a vowel + a short_vowel (+ a short_vowel + ...)

    Short_short_vowels are:

    /i/ - soft

    /ə/ - hard

    Vowel_shorts are:

    a consonant before a vowel and
    a short_vowel after a vowel

    y, /ə ???/ (soft / hard)
    r, l;
    m, n.

    Hi,

    There's a slight mistake in the previous post.

    why are you spamming your own thread ?
    if you want people to talk on the subject you are being counter productive.
    your actions resemble an internet troll looking for high click counts

    It is not at all clear what this thread is supposed to be about.

    The opening post has three videos posted without any comment or point of discussion raised. After that, the opening poster goes off into a tangent about Latin suffixes or something.

    Since there's no clear topic for discussion here, this thread is now closed.

    O. W. Grant: our site posting guidelines are available as a sticky thread in the Site Feedback subforum. Before starting more threads, please familiarise yourself with our policies.
