whye has a coin 20 likes sabina, then a Augustus dupondius

I think it could be used on occasion without offending. Such as every time we get into a discussion about "to slab or not to slab". Man that horse has been beat to death so many times, it's just pulp.

I wonder whats the point of the number of Trophy points given by CoinTalk ?
pretty useless imho.

The best answer is a nice option, although almost nobody uses it.

and I think before a newby post an unidentifyd coin, they ought to be warned by CT
that they show the obverse and reverse with reasonable pics, the weight and the diameter and possible material from whats it made of.
I just move along when I see just one fuzzy picture and the question what is it ? and what its worth ?

 

Thanks for those kind words @Alegandron (and others expressing a similar idea). It's not just an effort on our side, it's also funny and a nice way to improve our comprehension of english (mostly american english).

Although I've studied english at school and visited anglo-saxon countries so many times, the real improvement at understanding and writing english started when I joined Forvm and then CT a few months later. The first five years or so, I often used to apologize on my poor understanding and writing skills. I'm now able to express ideas, not just basic statements (sometimes it may sound a bit "heavy" like a lumpy gravy I guess), and spot the occasionnal mistake from people having english as their mother language ("I would of", "that is better then this", etc...).

And yes, it's sometimes hard to understand when it's not just about words but way of thinking, way of life, civilization. Staying open minded to consider what the other has intended to express is the key, and that works both ways

Long story made short : I love to be here
Q

 

It's purely my opinion, but many of our "non" English speakers have a better command of the written (and spoken) English language than many of our native English speakers. When I was on active duty, I had several "well educated" men and women working directing under my command. One might never know they were "educated" based on their reports. And it wasn't always the little differences between then and than, or there, their and they're. I would bet there are very few English speaking people who have any idea of the proper use of a semicolon.

So you non English speakers on this forum just keep on truckin'. It's impressive that your English is at least as good as many of us, and maybe better than most.

Now perhaps I can use the "dead horse" emoji.

 

No no no. That is totally incorrect. It needs to be re-attributed. I strongly feel it must be "Killing the Kangaroo"!!!

This is the internet... a massive wave of new information starts here! I have just established the statement as fact. Just like they do on facebook...

You write better in English than I do.
