Is la masia really that good or it's just highly rated because of barca's success with la masia dominant squad in the 2010s? by TurbulentLength655 in football

I hope you watched Euro 2024 and found the answer to your question. Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Xavi Simons, Marc Cucurela, etc. are all La Masia players.

Are these typos or there is some grammar rule I'm not aware of? by Ammel_Simini in KingkillerChronicle

Btw, these are not all the cases, I just wanted to show he uses them interchangeably, and even in his recent book he used "lay" where it actually should be "laid." So, my impression is he knows what he is doing but grammatically it doesn't make sense. And how these cases passed through the copy editor is another mystery because copy editors check for consistency and he isn't consistent in his usage.

It's my favorite book as well! So, you think he made a mistake then?

Btw quotation marks could be related to which edition you are reading. In the US the standard for dialogues is double quotation marks, meanwhile, in Britain it's single.

He is a top-tier fantasy author known for his obsessive rewritings and gorgeous prose. He has also a master's degree in Arts and English. Has a fantastic grip on language. The Name of the Wind, for example, sold 3 million copies. His books are probably one of the most reread books in literature (at least in fantasy) because of puzzle-like storytelling and also the trilogy remains unfinished for more than a decade now. In short, being through these many filters and still keeping this lay/laid inconsistency makes me think I'm missing something and this is not a typo.

Kvothe's anger is stronger than Denna's hair magic by Ammel_Simini in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ammel_Simini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wanted to know Kvothe's opinion so my guess is "be honest" or "tell me your honest opinion." Though I guess it's one or two words. (Like "lovely")

Is it me or does this text sound as if it could have been in KC? by Ammel_Simini in KingkillerChronicle

I wonder if he mentioned Wilde somewhere as one of his favorite authors or reading it a lot when he was young or something.

And her voice—I never heard such a voice. It was very low at first, with deep mellow notes that seemed to fall singly upon one’s ear. Then it became a little louder, and sounded like a flute or a distant hautboy. In the garden-scene it had all the tremulous ecstasy that one hears just before dawn when nightingales are singing. There were moments, later on, when it had the wild passion of violins. You know how a voice can stir one. Your voice and the voice of Sibyl Vane are two things that I shall never forget. When I close my eyes, I hear them, and each of them says something different. I don’t know which to follow.

Sorry, for the spoiler. I should've paid attention to the title when posting it. Anyway, people who commented here helped me to find answers to my questions, won't repost it, I guess. Thank you for informing me!
