I'm back with an offtop :)

RE: I'm back with an offtop :)
awpertunity, exactly!
It's the 1-st season of Friends! Will you help me now? Smile

GreatGonzales, it's about correcting subtitles. I guess you never watched "Friends" with subtitles, why would you, but the thing is: there's no good subs for this sitcom in Internet. It doesn't exist. You can find only one version of it with so many mistakes.

For example, in subs it's written: I feel like someone grabbed my small intestine...
Actually Ray says: I just feel like someone reached down my throat grabbed my small intestine...

I made this one, but in many other phrases I hear they say not what's written in the subs, but I can't get what they are saying exactly.

Well, guys, I hope you can help me, I'm ready to pay for this job. I'm sending you my contacts in private message.

Hah, man, I'd do that for free if I had the time. I could probably do it from memory... Confused

RE: I'm back with an offtop :)
Thanks, guys, it looks like we will work with awpertunity!

I have a question for the natives: Which sentence is correct OR what's the difference between them if they are both valid:

1) Can you tell me what’s the difference between…and…?
2) Can you tell me what the difference is between…and…?

#2.
"What's" means "what is" so "what is the difference ..." is a valid question by itself, but the "can you tell me" changes the grammar of questions. You can't say "can you tell me <insert complete question here>." You'd just say the question by itself.

RE: I'm back with an offtop :)
Actually, Bbobb, you can say that and it is correct. "Can you tell me what is the difference between A and B?" is grammatically allowable, though in the interest of brevity, clarity, and precision, 'what is' should generally be omitted. The resulting inquiry sounds much better.

Well if you're writing a term paper use #2. Never use contractions in serious papers. It's one of those silly rules that goes along with "Try never to split infinitives" rather than "Try to never split infinitives." See what I did there?
