Lady Anoteros: Why would you translate it? It is already in clear, normal English.

Incorrect. It is in a form which is neither clear nor normal. It is nigh incomprehensible. Your inability to recognize that fact is either pathetic or false. Neither inspires confidence that you have anything to say worth hearing.

*shrugs* The translation looks pretty accurate to me. Of course, the hardest part was attempting to slice it into seperate sentences - the run on sentence format is one of the biggest obstacles to comprehensibility.

Let us examine the translation in detail:

Quote:

"...to such a degree and extent as the specified, seamingly sentient, object..."

YOU

"...is presently of an undesirable mental disposition (and perhaps owing to it),"

HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE.

"...which is quite manifest in the object's doubtless cessation of functioning in a manner charateristic of class "non-feebleminded" (although that would imply that we can consciously perceive negations--ignore that for the moment)..."

YOU ARE STUPID

"...in relation to the state of being suitable to fully comprehend the undeniably manifest and self-explanatory, which has been observed on occasion and is a characteristic and desirable (insofar as common thought is an object of desire) trait of the norm, which any sentient object ought to conform to (and if deficient in this respect, be attracted by),"

BECAUSE YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT IT IS SELF-EVIDENT THAT I AM RIGHT.

"...that no psychologically able man ever sees occasion for doubt as regards this point,"

NO TRULY RATIONAL PERSON WOULD DISAGREE WITH ME.

"...the specified person is mistaken; for it is so incredibly manifest that the potential perceiver of the object of potential consideration is not even consciously considered by any sentient object that is a member of class 'educated man'."

YOU ARE WRONG AND IGNORANT.

The only real problem that I can see is that I had "ignorant" in the place of "stupid", and vice versa.

Oh, and I will again point out your failure to support your accusation of logical fallacies. I will continue to do so until you respond on the subject, "Lady."
