  1. I would say it varies from person to person, there's no one way of saying it. I was just watching a Doctor Who- Vincent and The Doctor, about Vincent Van Gogh. Throughout the entire episode, they said Gogh (pronounced goff), when most people in America say Gogh (prounounced go). But I shall assume that the prior is the correct pronunciation and shall spend the rest of my life pronouncing it that way. It's the same with the pronunciation of Southwark....
  2. You're welcome. Anyone else have anything they want translated or defined or anything? Oh, and also our Sherlok in saying "Cherchez le chien" is really pounded by the drug, trying to get to the point, and trying to make it seem as though he's normal. Before then it goes "We're looking for a dog, yes? A great, big dog. That's your brilliant theory." then "Cherchez le chien! Good. Excellent. Where shall we start?" and so on. CSI is also a script expert. I get most (if not all) of my information from him, so it is him who deserves your thanks and not me. He's still not well. May be getting worse. But he thanks you for thinking of him.
  3. Yeah, like I had to look up several words because I was like "What's THAT supposed to mean?!". Let's see if I can remember...I looked up ASBO because I'd never heard of that till' Sherlock. If anyone else wants to know, it stands for Anti-Social Behavior Order. I laughed because that fits our favorite (and only) consulting detective better than it does John Watson. Shoot...it was a while ago...Erm...Sod it all. Wish I could use a mind palace like Sherlock does, then I'd remember. But I can't. Let me get back to all of you on this...And meanwhile, I shall be more than happy to answer questions for your translation needs or anything else. Oh and I've asked CSI, who is still out and not well I'm sad to say, who has German heritage and is a Sherlock. Reichenbach does literally mean "rich brook". Ooh, ooh! And when Sherlock says "Cherchez le chien!" in Hounds, (CSI is a French expert) it means "Search for the dog". And and and, the part in The Blind Banker when he speaks in German and the German tourist speaks back. Here is CSI's translation. You can thank him. Sherlock (after bumping into the tourist): Excuse me, please. Tourist: Yes, thank you! (Walks off, cab drives past, Sherlock angry, realises...) Sherlock (normal): Please, wait. (then the German) Please! Tourist: What does he want? (Sherlock grabs his book) Hey, you, what are you doing?! Sherlock: Wait/A minute! Tourist: Give me my book back! Sorry, this makes me laugh...Rather indignant young tourist and Sherlock actually being polite for once...
  4. Forgive me, but... Dear Mr. Holmes, you have brought me to tears. I believe I may be one of the few people who understand the true intent of this post. Please, do not think I wish to be rude to other members. You have not apologized to John for faking your death and not telling him you were alive and thus he is very upset at you. This is your explanation to John for not apologizing. It is truly beautifully written. And allow me to tell you how brilliant you are, since John will not tell you that anymore most likely. You see, Mr. Holmes here did an amazing trick. Luckily enough, I am familiar with this so I will be able to explain what it is he has done. You may note that after this post, he posted a reply to Alice Holmes on the post How Much Mary Morstan Will There Be? or whatever it's really called. But you see there is the trick. After. Any of you who are familiar with Ms. Marple and the episode At Bertram's Hotel will know this trick. He made that post look like it was supposed to have been posted after this one, when really it was before. I applaud you Mr. Holmes. Really well done. Oh and allow me to say: Hello, everyone. I'm new. Technically. No one has to welcome me since Mr. Holmes had that honor.
