Context and interpretation is not being considered in My answers... Why?
I ask this because I would like to know if They want Direct Translations or do They want to Same Essence of what is being said?
"Wait, I'm passing Paul onto you."
What does this sentence mean? I'm not a native english speaker but this sentence makes no sense.
