Please simplify this. (This is not a question so it should end with a full stop.)

[STRIKE]The both "less" describe which part?[/STRIKE] What do the two examples of "less" mean?

"The less our representatives are bound to the demands of nationhood, [STRIKE]this[/STRIKE] the less parochial their outlook is likely to be."

See my corrections above. There were either errors in the original or you copied it incorrectly. I am pretty sure you did not write this sentence yourself so please tell us who wrote it and where you found it.

"the less our representatives are bound to the demands of nationhood , the less parochial their outlook is likely to be ."

"Less" refers to both parts.
"If our representatives were less bound to the demands of nationhood, they would be less parochial in their outlook."

"The less you ask me, the less I will answer." = "If you ask me less, I will answer less."
"The less you annoy me, the less angry I'll be."

We're confused as to why, when you joined, your current location was Fremont, California.

Perhaps he's in Iran and using a VPN located in Fremont. I believe many Iranians use VPNs for personal safety.

 

[emsr2d2]

Perhaps but the IP address matches Iran now so no VPN is in use. We would still appreciate an explanation from moseen.

Please see my corrections above to a few of your recent posts. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".

You can write "OK" or "okay" (that would be "Okay at the start of a sentence) but you can't write "Ok" anywhere.
