To me, 'trash' sounds like general garbage you normally disposed off as house garbage and the rubbish truck with compactor mechanism comes to collect it. While 'waste' is more often associated with something extra that is not consumed and therefore discarded like kitchen waste.

\'Lori\' Jewish English? \'waste compactor\' in an industrial environment?

Hello, Sue Goldian.

Do you still need further explanation on why I used the word \'Jewish\'? Did I mention anything about religion? I know you are a Hebrew translator also. If the words \'Jewish\' and \'Hebrew\' are supposed to be racial in meaning, then how do you describe yourself as a \'H???? translator\' without using the \'Jewish\' and \'Hebrew\' words???

Hello, Mr Ashii (with all respects):
I\'m tired of arguing over this Jewish thing. Now, it makes me wondering why Jewish people are so sensitive. You are implying that English is not spoken in Israel at all. \'American\' describes American people; \'British\' describes British people and ???? Did I say anywhere that you are disqualified from answering English questions? And did I ever mention that your English is inferior to mine????? Alright language is Hebrew.

Hello, Mr Ashii (with all respects and with all due consideration):

I can\'t find the word \'lori\' in the dictionaries. But I found \'lorry\' to mean truck.

Can you recommend a dictionary to me?

Alright, Mr Ashi (with only one \'i\' as you said. Thank you for reminding me)

Makes me wondering -> I\'m still wondering.

I may be wrong in a lot of areas and may lack your many years of experience (you are probably older than me) especially in things Jewish, British English and American English, so shall I beg for your forgiveness and can your highness please enlighten me?

In your own words,
****Lori is used in the UK and British English speaking countries to describe the American English \"truck.\" I am a Hebrew interpreter that has better command of the English language than you do. I also was born in the UK (speaking British English) and live in the US. ******

I\'m simply so hapless in looking up on this \'lori\' word. I hope you are so kind enough to recommend a good thoroughbred British dictionary to me and at the same time you have this golden opportunity to prove that your English is indeed better than mine.

Ha Ha Mr Ashi,

You seem to have discovered my website or taken a deeper interest in me.

And I have just discovered a previous English monolingual question that I triumphed over you. Dear me, I didn\'t even know.

The world would be so much more peaceful, if everyone thinks twice before hurling abuse or pointing fingers.

Very amusing - especially morning glory and motorcycle, perfectly ordinary English terms.

Anyway, you could learn from your own wise sayings and stop pointing fingers at \'that Jewish thing\' - maybe then the world would be more peaceful.

==>I agree. It wasn\'t intentional. It was in the context of the \'lori\' word.

==>Thanks.

By the way. Australian English is intoned differently than British English. And in Japan US English is prevalent. No offence.

I don\'t think the original author intended to differentiate between trash and waste.

First the facts:
A: There is NO such thing as Jewish English any more than there is "Korean Japanese". There are two common languages spoken - Hebrew and Yiddish. No Jewish.
B: Lori is used in the UK and British English speaking countries to describe the American English "truck." Lori is NEVER used in the US except for a girl's name.
C: A trash compactor may be in the kitchen (small) or a factory (huge). This does NOT change my answer that trash is trash and a compactor is the device that compacts trash. Not two in the same.

Your remarks about "Jewish English" aside from being factually wrong are biased and offending. I am a Hebrew interpreter that has better command of the English language than you do. I also was born in the UK (speaking British English) and live in the US. This means I know the difference between the two.
You have no idea if I am Jewish, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The mere fact that I am a HEBREW interpreter (and you a Japanese Interpreter) does not disqualify me from answering questions I know in an English Monolingual forum.
Your remarks are wrong and have a hint of cultural bias in them. Proz is not a place for such cultural intolerance!

So yes we still need an explanation on " ...why I used the word 'Jewish'?"
Since being Jewish has everything to do with religion, the answer to: "Did I mention anything about religion?" is Yes!
"I know you are a Hebrew translator also. If the words 'Jewish' and 'Hebrew' are supposed to be racial in meaning, then how do you describe yourself as a 'H???? translator' without using the 'Jewish' and 'Hebrew' words??? "
I have NEVER used the word "Jewish" in conjunction with being a Hebrew interpreter. EVER!

\"Hello, Mr Ashii...\"
My name is spelled with one I.
\"I\'m tired of arguing over this Jewish thing. Now, it makes me wondering why Jewish people are so sensitive. \"
Yet another racially biased remark implying \"Jewish\" people as a whole behave in any certain way. Not all Jewish people are \"sensative\" (or anything else for that matter) and you still have no idea if I am Jewish, Christian, Muslim or a Buddhist.
And the correct sentence should be: \"..it makes me wonder...\" not \"wondering.\"
\"You are implying that English is not spoken in Israel at all.\"
Never said or implied that. I said Jewish English doesn\'t exist but it seems you don\'t know the difference between Jewish and Hebrew.
\"\'American\' describes American people; \'British\' describes British people and ???? \"
I don\'t understand what you are trying to say. American English describes a dialect no a people. So does British English. British English is also spoken in Australia, South Africa and taught in Japan.

\"Did I say anywhere that you are disqualified from answering English questions? And did I ever mention that your English is inferior to mine?????\"
Yes. You ended your sentence with \"He is a Hebrew translator. End of story!!!\" I took that to mean that my English is not good because after all I am only a \"Hebrew\" translator.

\"Alright language is Hebrew\"
What?

I am not surprised by Lew\'s comments. After all he finds this humorous:
Jew\'s-ear \"Ear of a Jewish person\"
  *A kind of edible fungus shaped like human ear.
(from his website http://www.LewShiongFong.com/main/LucuTerms/EngTerms.html)

As to the last commet:
\"Hello, Mr Ashii (with all respects and with all due consideration):
I can\'t find the word \'lori\' in the dictionaries. But I found \'lorry\' to mean truck.
Can you recommend a dictionary to me?\"

My name is still spelled with only one \"I\"
Lori is an American girl\'s name. Need a dictionary for that?
