Hello everybody
could someone explain me the difference between tale and story?
i'm trying to translate a user's manual
of an american writing software i bought last month
and there are a couple of words (or idioms) i don't understand.
The three other words are:
"Givens" (not the name!)
like in the following:
"Hold on to Your Givens!"
"The Author Giveth - the Audience Taketh Away"
(What does the "th" mean?)
"Truisms"
A translation in german would be nice but not necessary,
but It also helps me to have a good explanation.
Sorry for my english - it's not my native tongue.
:-)
