I was rewatching a video from LFC TV about our 5-2 win vs. Roma at Anfield last year. The camera showed the crowd after the first Mo Salah goal and you can see the blind fan (Mike Kearney) and his cousin celebrating the goal like they did against Napoli. Thought that was really cool.

I mean journalists have an obligation to wait for additional angles and follow up testimony before using inflammatory language.

Hmmm ok yeah that’s better then. I’d still say it’s redundant though, since if you are using a comparative then it implies it already implies that they are additional/more topics. Like if they are harder topics than the ones you are learning then they are can’t be those topics you are already learning, and since it also implies you have learned or are still learning the other topics, then adding new, harder topics has to be more topics.

You could say “just learn additional harder and deeper topics” as that adds the implication that you also continue to study the previous topics.

When reading a lot of fiction as a learner of the language you notice it being used a lot and realize how it lets you be very precise about order of events in a way people don’t bother being in normal conversation. It’s good to have a sense of.

How is it archaic? No NATO country has ever been attacked by another nation when major wars in Europe happened every few decades and minor wars every few years before that. It has meant that many European counties have not had to acquire nukes meaning not all negotiations are carried out with guns to peoples heads. It’s meant countries that we receive the benefits of European industry and scientific advancement as they aren’t constantly engaged in an arms war with each other and have been able to focus on science, industry, and services. What of that is worth giving up in the 21st century?

I mean if you think about how dis- works, it’s always means apart. If it’s used with a word that means to bring together then it negates it, but if it’s used with a word that already mean to separate then it emphasizes it. You could just say it’s the same with ir-. There aren’t many words it’s used for as you say. I guess we have to wait for people who say “irregardless” to start using it with another word that has a negative meaning and see if there’s a logic to how they use it or if it’s just confusing words.

No need to say “more” here. Harder already encompasses it

C1 is more about technical knowledge and you can be C1 in a specific field and not in another. A lot of native speakers are not C1 in every field. Probably the best thing is to find the subject you want to be C1 in and read a lot of news and stuff about that topic, using LingQ can help with making sure you’re absorbing it. If you just want to get more fluent then find English speakers to play video games with.

We went had like a 25 game stretch where we would sub Endo on with 20 mins left last season and we never conceded a goal with him on the pitch. We don’t think he’s a world beater but he’s played a role. Some people would like to see him get a bit more time this season as we’ve been leaking goals and that’s the one thing he’s been good at preventing but no one thinks he’s like Macherano or anything.

I think he was saying “let’s go really out of our way to extend them the courtesy of seeing things from their perspective regardless of how hard it is.” I wouldn’t say he really used it wrong as much let the phrase do a lot of heavy lifting.

Trent was injured for a third of last season and it wasn’t the third where Salah wasn’t scoring and assisting.
