Shortage of Liberties Talk
Path: LinguisticsEnglish · Prev: LivelyDebateOnEnglish · Next: TemperatureAndTerminologyDiscussion (Sebastian:) Like liberty, "shortage of liberties" can mean two things:
RafaelCaetano: This way of putting it feels odd. The proverb I know is "There is shortage of liberties in the bamboo joint", which is slightly different, and is consistent with the first meaning too. Well, I don't see that there are 2 different meanings anyway. Charles This will need revision. (Sebastian:) If I may post my humble opinion here without a question mark: What needs revision, is apparently the page title "The bamboo joint is short of liberties?". It confused me, too, and I'd prefer Rafael's version. Charles I'm changing that to "the bamboo joint may be short of liberties". As far as discussion goes, I think good players always feel a certain constraint about running down liberties on their chains.
