Title	E bindstouw udkom i Randers 2
Text Submitted by falgonÃ	Source language: Danish At det var en litterÃ¦r begivenhed af rang, vil nÃ¦ppe nogen i vore dage modsige. Ganske vist, der havde vÃ¦ret skrevet pÃ¥ jysk fÃ¸r. Men hvad der fÃ¸r Blicher var fremkommet pÃ¥ dialekt, havde og har hÃ¸jst kuriositetens interesse. Kunstneriske krav har de anonyme eller navngivne forfattere nÃ¦ppe stillet. For Blicher selv var udsendelsen af Â»FortÃ¦llinger og Digte i jydske MundarterÂ« â€• som undertitlen lÃ¸d â€• vist heller ikke nogen sÃ¦rlig bemÃ¦rkelsesvÃ¦rdig tildragelse, selv om han nok havde sin tanke dermed. Sagen var naturlig og ligetil for ham. Der var ikke tale om nogen Ã¦ndring i lÃ¸bet.

Target language: English

Hardly anyone in our day would dare gainsay that this was a literary event of importance. Admittedly, works had been written in Jutlandic before. But whatever had appeared in dialect before Blicher had, and has, aroused no more interest than mere curiosity. Artistic demands were hardly made by those anonymous or named authors. To Blicher himself the publication of "Stories and Poems in Jutlandic Arts of Speech" - as it said in the subtitle - did not constitute a particularly remarkable event, even though the thought might have occurred to him. To him it felt natural and straighforward. It entailed no change of course.

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Hi Jair This looks mostly fine. A few remarks: - how about 'deny' instead of 'gainsay'? That is much more common. - 'there had been written' is not a construction that is allowed in English. My suggestions would be 'there had been writings', 'there had been written works', (or better: written works existed) or else 'people had written' or 'things / works / ... had been written'. - had interest -> how about 'was of interest'? - entail: I am not entirely sure what you mean by this - possibly due to my own ignorance Do you mean 'it didn't lead to any changes', 'it didn't change anything'?

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Reply from Jair: Hi Lein, I stick with "gainsay" which is closer to the original meaning than "deny". "entail" is like having as consequence. I carried out a few changes in accordance with your remarks. Thanks! Jair
