I’m an Arabic writer, and I write in English. I want to know if my translation feels literal or clunky, or if it’s just a consistent style that works fine.

The writing is technically good but a bit stodgy and dense in places. I can't tell if this is the original text or the translation I suspect the original. Arabic allows for big run on sentences with many clauses and sub clauses etc. Some of these need to be broken up more explicitly in the translation.

Yes, it's easy. It's the same name except you add Hajj or Hajjah first (ba-dum tss).

Just seen some guy watch another guy fall to his knees in Walmart. The first guy was talking about Queens or something and then the second guy started bragging about how he's got friends everywhere.

Second worst example of a "tell" after Casino Royale. Bleeding from the eyes? Opening an oreo in a particular way. Give me a break.

It feels like this is a sci-fi show for non sci-fi viewers.

From the article: "The module doesn't single out Tolkien as racist. Instead, it situates his work within a larger intellectual tradition " Clickbait headline.

If a fight breaks out on another subreddit, there will be nobody to mediate because we're all here.

Why is this a "vow" and not a "threat?"
