Oh, I forgot to say, I think I'm looking for a monolingual dictionary.

You miss my point. I guess I'll have to lay it out in excruciating detail.
The issue is not whether your fantasies are intrinsically superior to EvD's
qua fantasies, but rather whether they are more, or less, entertaining. The
publishers in the Germanophone countries judged, in their professional

I suppose most know 'Dauntless' from the countless ships named that way
in SF.

So, can anyone tell me which one(s) merit(s) that title? I'd like
something with usages, perhaps proverbs, etc. Preferably with readable
type. Thank you.

As a user of Scottish Standard English I say "game" and "hail" with
the same vowel. "Whair" and "whare" seem to me as being equally
fitting spellings for "where".
A paradox of Scots spelling is that Scots sometimes deserves English
spelling more than English. Scots words such as "right" and "head",
are often respelled as "rich" and "heed", even though the normal

Racism or not, both I and most everybody else considers you on a par
with Däniken. That's why you are so much disliked.

I would say you chose the right alternative. Thank you very much,
Trond, your translation is quite delightful.

It is rather the word "criminal" I have difficulties with, not
"petty". In my native language, there is the difference between
"rikollinen", which suggests a habitual criminal, and
"rikoksentekijä", which means simply "someone who has committed a
crime". The first one is usually rendered into English as "criminal",

My compatriot Erich von Däniken wrote a book
on the Great Pyramid, wherein he says that the
alien builder of this wonder is sleeping since
millennia in a hidden chamber. Do you consider
this an entertaining phantasy? or even an idea?
It is plain simple racism. He naturally assumes
that the Egyptians were not able to design and

Not bad, but go through it to remove howlers like "The /Greek/ has
Virgo". Ththththththththththththththth thth! Also Josephus was indeed in
the first revolt, which was in 66. Interestingly, the independent state
of 66-70 was called Israel, so it obviously had some meaning, if only a
flokloric one.

Peter objects to my "some way or other." Of course
he doesn't read the paper Prof. Dr. Gerhard Goebel
and I wrote, and which we can't publish, whereupon
I went online with it. Published material is only a small
part of the material one has to present. Also in this
case. There is a whole tradition of mathematically
