AshleyHOST
The client said he asked Joe to show off more of his Arabic, but Joe rather meekly explained that the type he was learning wasn't the conversational kind.
AshleyHOST
And to put it simply, it was like Joe was learning Shakespearean English.
AshleyHOST
It sounded great, but the average person on the street in any Arabic-speaking country might not completely understand what the heck he's saying.
AshleyHOST
Now, he was also buying all of these old books, all written in classical Arabic and working on his own translations of them.

LazyTitanHOST
you could see him saying.
LazyTitanHOST
I don't think it is because comic Thor speaks in that like Shakespearean English.
LazyTitanHOST

James KaddisHOST
Before I dig deeper into this, let me just simply point something out that I don't like about the translation here.
James KaddisHOST
Now, this comes from Elizabethan English, and it sort of has carried over, but I do not like the phrase dark speeches.
James KaddisHOST
I think dark speeches imply something in the English language that is completely different from what God is saying here.
James KaddisHOST
What God is saying when the term dark speeches is being used is, I don't speak to Moses in riddles.

JimmyHOST
Yeah, no, but yours, when I borrowed it from Kehillah, I could understand what was going on.

WarrenHOST
translation doesn't have to be Shakespearean either.
James KaddisHOST
It's also going to require you to understand a little bit of culture and a little bit of background.
James KaddisHOST
And it's also going to require you to be able to understand a little bit of Elizabethan English if you're reading from the King James, okay? So this is what's happening.
James KaddisHOST
First of all, let's talk about welfare for just a second, okay? I think we could all agree that when government controls welfare, it's broken.
James KaddisHOST
When government controls welfare, what it actually does is it produces ugly people, okay? For lots of different reasons.
Chino RossHOST
the Old Testament is written in Hebrew.
Chino RossHOST
Now we have this in King James, Elizabethan English.
Chino RossHOST
It doesn't mean that there's any connection because there may be to our ears between Meshach and Moscow.
