I don't think GC speakers typically put much thought into the fact that they're speaking to an international audience. Either that, or they think that the translators can translate jokes and idioms that are exclusive to English.<BR/><BR/>I've heard some GC talks in Chinese that just sound weird, unless you're familiar with the English versions from which they're translated.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06261411264695719660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-1159816432598368752006-10-02T12:13:00.000-07:002006-10-02T12:13:00.000-07:00its a slow mondayits a slow mondayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-1159811051756056082006-10-02T10:44:00.000-07:002006-10-02T10:44:00.000-07:00What i hate is once it happens in conference it is...What i hate is once it happens in conference it is reinforced in Sacrament meeting talks for the next 4-5 years.<BR/><BR/>Someone will end their talk with a nifty little phrase thats slightly different and presto it becomes part of the new Mormon vernacular<BR/><BR/>The whole "Webster's defines" part or the talk has been essential in almost every sacrament meeting ive been to over the years.
