The conversations which English people hold about the weather, for example, do not 1)as a rule 2)leave the participation any the wiser.
1) I cannot quite understand what exactly "as a rule" means here.
2) Does this mean participating in the conversation about weather doesn't make you a wise person? I want to know the exact meaning of the verb "leave" here.
The anthropologist Malinowski invented the term. He said, 3)"It was actuated by the demon of terminological invention." Although he was half in joke, the name has stuck.
3) Does it mean that he admits the unneccesity of inventing such term? I am not quite sure...
Lastly, is there an app for android mobile phones to this website? If there is one, I want to know where I can find it.
I ended up asking lots of questions. Thank you for reading my long post and I will be eagerly waiting for your answer.
Have a good one.
