Another example of the "your my" nonsense produced by corporations calling customers' things "my" things. Let's mark this for pronouns: In total, I've identified 12 correct pronouns, 6 incorrect pronouns, given from the wrong perspective, and one direct clash between a correct one and an incorrect one, in the form of "their my JT account".  This should be a dead giveaway that something is wrong. As well, observe this perfunctory, bossy, yet passive tone that they take.  "all customers are required" to such and such.  Let's try this.  "All telecoms providers are required to provide ipv6 service".  Oh, that didn't work.  "All entities are required to desist from calling other entities' things 'my'".  Oh, that didn't work either.

They can try to bring over the literary character of the original (usually a good idea), or get more creative in the target language on their own account (usually a bad idea). In transliteration, a source text is transformed character by character from one script to another. For example, greek beta transliterates to roman “b”. Or an umlauted u ftom German (ü) transliterates to “ue” in plain latin script. So “Führer” transliterates to “Fuehrer”. What about a word-by-word transformation? Preserving word order from the original. One could describe this as a very literal translation, but how about “translexation”.  It wouldn't be possible for every word, especially declined ones without an equivalent in the target language. There would still be an art to translexation. Translexation would be handy in parallel texts, when learning to read the source language. Or to s...

I first found out that I was buying the Snail House via my pool guy, who informed a friend about it in the sauna (I had not mentioned it). Anyhow, despite an odd boundary with parish land towards its old quarry, it is now set to complete on May 1. This structure on a building site at Wattens train station in Tirol is the same shape.
