10 książek science fiction wszechczasów

[Stanisław Remuszko]

Po czym poznać, że "dlatego bo" jest od pewnego czasu formą dopuszczalną? Jak to Twoje twierdzenie zweryfikować?
R.

[Q]

Zdaje mi się, że wyczytałem tak lat temu parę w słowniku ("WSJP"?), ale jak teraz poguglałem to nie jestem pewien czy pamięć mi figla nie płata...

[Stanisław Remuszko]

Chyba płata, bo w tej sprawie Pan Lem się mylił i wtedy i teraz.
Ty, po co SJP, kiedy jest semantyczny rozum? dlatego że = bo. Pleonazm, zwany masłem maślanym.
R.

(Nie wiedzieć czemu jeden z autorów w oryginale nazwany był "Delaney" zamiast "Delany" - poprawiłem.)

[Q]

Przypadkiem, a całkiem niedawno, napatoczyłem się na informację o takiej oto kolekcji:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF_Masterworks

Nic lemowskiego nie zawiera, co skłonny jestem uznać za niejaki skandal (acz może sytuację da się jeszcze odwrócić skoro Zachodniacy teraz coraz częściej po Mistrza sięgają ), za to wydano w jej ramach sporo tytułów, o których już była mowa, i drugie tyle nieznanych w Polsce, a chyba godnych translacji na nasze...

[xetras]

Cieszę się, że ten wątek nosi tytuł prawidłowy logicznie i rzeczowo (choć niepoprawny gramatycznie). Skoro są wszechświaty, powinny być i wszechczasy. Od lat to forsuję, (podobnie jak Mistrz swoje "dlatego, bo" - z tym, że ja mam rację z "wszechczasami", a Mistrz błądził w kwestii "dlatego, bo").
R.

"Wszech czasy" jednak nadal pisze się rozdzielnie, bo to co najmniej 3* różne kierunki a wszechświat jest ogólniejszy od świata.
Czasy to zbiory rozłączne, a świat to podzbiór.
*Np. przyspieszanie, spowalnianie, cofanie - jeszcze może: zgłębianie i poszerzanie - wszystko odnośnie czasu
Logika ortografii może być mocno zawiła.

PS. Musiałby zaistnieć bezczas, punkt zwrotny kierunku i co z nim (przecież w nim czas nie istnieje) ?
