En korrekt svensk översättning av denna mening är INTE att "Sarkastisk och ironisk samma sak". Om du vill att jag hjälper dig att översätta från engelska säg till. Eller, om jag missuppfattat dig får du helt enkelt förklara lite bättre vad din senaste kommentar var tänkt att mena. Streja,

Om du läser en gång till kanske du förstår, får jag misstänker/utgår från att det var den här mening du ville attackera/kommentera:

“… you would know that the Swedish words for “sarcastic” and “ironic” are almost identical….”

En korrekt svensk översättning av denna mening är INTE att “Sarkastisk och ironisk samma sak”.

Om du vill att jag hjälper dig att översätta från engelska säg till.

And for a change I agree with Streja, Dr Watson needs to remove his internal stick. I will admit I didn't bother to read all his posts, the few I did read just made me slap my forehead in a "Good grief!" type of way. Amusing, but in a very sad way. Oh well, not everyone can appreciate one person's experiences. On a more positive note, I have often wondered myself what to call the mellandagarna, and have often just resorted to either using the Swedish term or going with the literal "middle days". Meh, as long as people understand. Enjoy the last eve of your holiday! Sarah No Man's Land Blogger BB, I think you have inherited the troll troop that The English Girl has been trying to get rid of.

They are not only ignorant, but proud to be so, and will fight from the grave to have the last word. This blog would be priceless if we could watch it live in an arena, eller hur ?

Well, if you are you would know that the Swedish words for "sarcastic" and "ironic" are almost identical so your attempted allegation that "Swedes always have a little trouble discerning the difference in English usage between sarcastic and ironic" is just as stupid and uniformed as your original claim that "Christmas is over!" So there would be little problem for a Swede to understanding the "English usage" of those two words irregardless of how good or bad their English is. If a Swede doesn't understand the difference he/she just doesn't understand the meaning of the words. Just like you! But most people are clever enough to not trying to lecture other, or make "lighthearted" fun, out of someone/thing which their basic comprehension is limited/non-existent. Just another indication of your ignorance, lack of knowledge, poor understanding and disrespectful attitude. Are you this disrespectful to your Swedish husband also? Or is it just in the cover of anonymity on here? Poor guy. Oh, by the way, I thought you said you were fluent in Swedish.

People that clearly understand and know what they are talking about infinitely more than what you do. No I wrote sarcastic and meant sarcastic. Do you know the difference between ironic and sarcastic? Well, it appear obvious to me given your blog entries and message response/retorts that you most likely don't. And just as obvious is that lack of knowledge or understanding, or both, is not going to stop you from trying to lecture anyone. Time to do a reality check!
