Endnotes instead of footnotes

>endnotes instead of footnotes

I prefer no notes at all.

Agreed. Everything that otherwise would have been a note should be integrated into the regular text. This includes editor's and translator's notes.

Appendixes are fine, but I agree, end notes are trash. If it's relevant to what I'm reading on this page, I shouldn't have to flip to the back of the book to find it.

I take it you only speak english?

I took French lessons at high school but they were kinda crappy.
Yeah, I made a typo. Fuck me.

Butthurt.

Yes, I """only""" speak the most relevant and applicable language on this planet.

so you read translations? Or do you limit yourself to anglo writers?

You're a troll

>Butthurt
Ah but it is you who took in in the butt :^)

I'm not even French, it doesn't take one to see how fucking retarded you are.

grats, everyone else in the first world speaks english IN ADDITION to more languages.

Reminder that france has beaten England in more wars than vice versa

But not in the ones that counted :^)

Reminder that England, unlike France, was never stupid enough to pick a fight with Russia.

>surrenderese

What about the Crimean war?

You can't read a literary work by being “conversational”.

Woosh.

So fucking umderrated.

Wow that picture is really disturbing

But that's not Mandarin

Ok guys seriously I'm not trolling here does everyone actually know so many languages? I took some French in high school but I was a filthy philistine (and still am) back then who didn't take advantage of that opportunity to learn it, but even now it seems like such a great undertaking in order to become fluent enough to be able to appreciate good literature in their native tongue. I'm 19, tell me what I'm supposed to lol...
