Hi merdogan

"...full of..." would be better than "full with"

I've set a poll.

It cannot be "full of with", with has to go.

Yep, definitely need to remove "with".
And I didn't know 'affectation' was a word until now lol.
But I'm not sure whether the French 'artifice' would suggest more *deception* / trickery, than affectation, which a dictionary informs me means 'behaviour intended to impress' ?

"My life is full of affectation". To use two prepositions like this isn't correct English.

Hi all

Thanks Francky for the "with", I must have misexplained what I meant

I agree with you here that "affectation" does not seem adapted to the text.

The French dictionary "Le Petit Larousse Illustré" ed. 2004 defines the word "artifice" as a

"procedé ingénieux, habile pour tromper; ruse"

which translates as

"ingenious process, fit for deceiving"

Maybe it would be better to put

"My life is full of pretence"

What do you all think?

Perhaps "deception" or "deceits" would fit...

I think "affettazione" should be translated as "affection".
