Re: The English Language
Probably no difference, depending on the sentence they came from.

Re: The English Language
A google search for "on the line" comes up with "at serious risk" whilst a google for "at stake" comes up with "at risk". Like Barry I wouldn't think there's too much practical difference. Another synonym might be "at peril".

Thank you forum.
Is 'notary public' any different from 'public notary'?

No.
Formal legal English often puts adjectives after nouns in memory of the days (a mere thousand years ago) when everything was done in French, and the French put their adjectives after their nouns!

Look on Google and you will find the answer, hopefully.

Yes look on line and stop bothering people with question after question because you are too lazy to research things yourself.

Re: The English Language
No one has to read this thread so I see no reason why Soheil shouldn't ask whatever question he wants to.

I certainly hope so, he has been taking advantage of the courtesy shown on this site for far too long. Why others continue to put up with it I don't know.

It’s a boring thread that could mainly be googled but it can be ignored.MJMcCready wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:01 pmI certainly hope so, he has been taking advantage of the courtesy shown on this site for far too long. Why others continue to put up with it I don't know.

Re: The English Language
Well, I thought it was a very interesting thread a couple of years back but it seems to have been derailed by very self-centered questions that I certain person can't be bothered to find himself, preferring to take advantage of the kindness of others without any gratitude whatsoever.
The complexity of the English language, and its long history, makes chess seem very simple to master indeed. One of the many fascinating aspects of it that I recently discovered is that English was the third language of norman England up until 1362. It was only then that efforts were made to make it the official language of England, as the norman Kings who held all the power, spoke norman French. and some Latin only.
