Today I bought another book as I'm an addict. To bad I'm so addicted to buying and possessing books, but not really reading them thoroughly. But, whatever. There it is:

Yep, as languages in general are my hobby, I love Japanese foremost. I've always had problems with remembering the kanji (which is something equivalent to our alphabet) and now, after years of tortures caused by trying to read or write something more complex than 'What's your name?' or 'What color are your panties?', I happened to find a position that enlightened me withing first chapter as to how easily I could have studied most of them and how much of my precious time could have been saved. So you probably have no idea and can't even imagine how I hate it RIGHT NOW that I'm exploring it.. in spite of all the usefulness it offers.

Which means I'm back.

I just grabbed a book below, bought by my beloved husband(whoa, now I have a husband!).

'Nice tittle', I thought when I saw it for the first time a few days ago. So now that I finally have some spare time I'm starting reading and wondering who this cool guy was, "one of the greatest thinkers of the modern age, Founder of Modern Philosophy and the Father of Modern Mathematics" the whole preface is about, and why I've never heard of any Rene Descartes before? So then I find the most common quotation by him:

that I obviously know! Which pisses me off even more but stil have no clue as to who said it. Though at the beginning I was going to figure it out myself, especially that back in the days I had philosophy classes at the university, and even years before that I took up reading philosophy as a hobby, feeling like an idiot I was forced to google the quotation in Polish to get my answer (perhaps I'm in early stage of dementia) which was...

..

.

Kartezjusz! Omg... At first I thought what an idiot had to be the person who changed it from Latin, but then I discovered that the Latin version was Renatus Cartesius. So now I'm thinking the idiot had to be the one who translated it into René Descartes.

After all I remembered how I learned Japanese and couldn't even recognize my own surname.

So I'm not sure about nowadays translators, but the first ones who set basic rules really did mix things up.

And I definitely need to gain some tolerance of other people.
