Which politics forum?

As it turns out, the best of those forums are American. This one is quite interesting:

It was particularly amazing to realize that even trolls get to register and post comments. You'll begin to wonder if the essence of registering in the first place was to - indeed; 'keep the trolls away. But a great forum, nevertheless.

several problems about Elbert Hubbard\'s book

MESSAGE:
I’m translating Elbert Hubbard’s “Life, Love and Work”, but I’m puzzled by a word “pedaluvia”. I don’t know what it refers to. . Would you please tell me its meaning? Does it mean “wine” or “tea”? Otherwise, I didn’t find out the information about “Tom Potter”, the telegraph operator. I sincerely ask you for some help . Pardon me for my trouble. Thank you!

Never heard of "pedaluvia". Sure it wasn't one the author made up?

I have to admit I sometimes get shocked with how American authors write, like Hemingway, Steineck etc. So raw, so simple, yet so powerful.
The New World and it's spot-on style certinaly has another voice than the creaky, syphiltic literati of the Abendland.

I've heard it said that Spanish spoken by US hispanics tends to be more direct and blunt than the Spanish spoken by Mexicans, etc. I don't know how their respective rates of syphilis infection compare, but....

If i could compare T.S. Eliot with Earnest Hemingway?

I can't really compare American and British literature. I hardly read any American books. It's becoming a problem actually. I've started using commonwealth spelling by accident because I see them so often. I'll turn in a paper and get it marked all to bits because of spelling. Plus, I read almost all classics, so sometimes I'll find myself using words people rarely use any more and that can turn into a problem too. I can't tell the difference between the two styles (if you can call them two styles) any more because I'm used to both.

I am by no means a literary expert, in fact I'm barely literary at all; but I have to say that any country or language with writers the likes of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Shelley, Sir Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, etc. deserve to be admired for their literature.

Though many of my favorite books were written by American authors, one being "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, I strongly feel that Britain's literature has the advantage of history and generations of excellence.

Hated Jane Austen.
