I often use tone tags, so in their absence, try to interpret everything I say as literally as reasonable.

  • In Latin for example it’s just a “…near the noun? Whatever, just don’t be ambiguous."

    It doesn’t need to be remotely close to the noun lol

    Though Latin syntax can get annoying sometimes (when do I use the subjunctive? What’s the correct negation? Perfect or imperfect… maybe pluperfect? Which noun is this random genitive modifying?), it does make sense eventually. I guess that is also true for English, but I still mess up the tenses sometimes.















  • Yup, the calf was most likely a regular part of the northern Israel’s worship, but not of the southern Judah’s. Since most of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is written from a Judean perspective (which makes sense; it survived longer), it treats it as blasphemous, when in reality, to them, it wasn’t.
