Jan 17, 2024 at 23:36 comment added Evan Carroll The negation of having said X to Y when having said X to Z is awkward when done discretely. But I guess it's a Google thing.
Jan 17, 2024 at 23:35 comment added Evan Carroll Still a remarkably awkward translation. Apparently, there was a typo. Mr. Begin did not tell Oriana Fallaci "I am a former terrorist" either in jest or metaphor. Instead, he started a non-humorous speech in America in front of hundreds of people (including Reagan) with this sentence. "I am a former terrorist". vs "Mr Begin said "I am a former terrorist" and it was neither in jest, nor a metaphor but he didn't say this to Oriana Fallaci: it was said in front of hundreds of people (including Reagan) in America".
Jan 17, 2024 at 21:10 comment added Laurel @EvanCarroll It looks like Google Translate decided to translate the same text two different ways. It makes more sense after fixing that.

Jan 17, 2024 at 20:22 comment added Evan Carroll I don't even understand the quote above "I am an ex-terrorist" he did NOT say, he said "I am a former terrorist". What is the difference?
