No you are incorrect. "Things" = material objects, Translation? Words do not get "lost" but misunderstood when spoken, written, typed, etc within diffrent locus, to wit - area, nation, country. Also the use of the words by the individual, old style past, modern present day, proper, slang, etc. Yes these can be lost when written/typed ie lost manuscript, paper, disc, but cannot be lost in translation, just misunderstood like this post.

Hmmm... yes a new dictionary, that would be good. Notion no, understanding yes, I could start a thread explaining about santa, he does not exsist, you clearly are a clever man again.

Thank you. At least you have composure, these tedious jibes from the man of tribes, stir nothing.

They are stiring responses from you where you make silly comments

Notion no, understanding yes

Obviously not.

Huh? Oh, sorry, I think I took the wrong door, this seems to be GT. Funny, I remember being here when it was not GT. Huh? Well, that's Subsim for you, I guess. Nevermind.

While you are technically correct, a quick glance at any decent dictionary will tell you that "thing" is also accepted as a term for items indefinable or spiritual, so are not limited to physical objects. A good thesaurus will show that there are a great many synonyms for "thing".

Second, "lost in translation" is a common phrase, and considered acceptable usage, so your objection is over the technical detail and not the true use of the words involved.

Interesting weekend. The competition was a blast and we had good time, even if we ''lost'' a pacient

Now waiting for thursday, the red party in Ljubljana for all us blood donors and a Flogging Molly concert afterwards
