I hope you don't feel I'm in any way "attacking" you. I was just illuminating the quote. See how easy words can fail to express thoughts? I wasn't suggesting you edit anything, I used that to illustrate how we try to ensure our thoughts are communicated clearly. I actually just used that function.

no in the least, but speaking several languages, I am aware what values can be lost and liberties are taken to translate at times. and the point is to get the full meaning of what is meant to deliver the message, and this is what I see when Q drops it in this manner, that all the vlues are covered in the phrase, so liberties are taken, what is a translation if exact and many values are missed.

Completely off topic. I assume your uname is indicative of your heritage and the respect you have for it. Good on you!! I live in an historically important, and destination of, Native Americans. I frequently interact and am exposed to the culture and problems they face. I have a lot of compassion for your history.
