Bulgarian translation:(която е) доста по-(прецизна) от обичайното
Explanation:
"A leading defect in each of our treatises, (if treatises they can be called,) is the confining the subject to mere Versification, while Verse in general, with the understanding given <to> the term in the heading of this paper, is the real question at issue. Nor am I aware of even one of our Grammars which so much as properly defines the word versification itself. "Versification", says a work now before me, of which the accuracy is far more than usual — the "English Grammar" of Goold Brown — "Versification is the art of arranging words into lines of correspondent length, so as to produce harmony by the regular alternation of syllables differing in quantity." The commencement of this definition might apply, indeed, to the art of versification, but not to versification itself. Versification is not the art of arranging &c., but the actual arranging — a distinction too obvious to need comment. The error here is identical with one which has been too long permitted to disgrace the initial page of every one of our school grammars. I allude to the definitions of English Grammar itself. [[. . . .]]"

Благодаря Ви, като се извинявам, че Ви занимах с този елементарен въпрос, но аз просто се усъмних, с оглед на контекста, дали евентуално не може този израз да се употреби в обратния смисъл, т.е. че прецизността съвсем не е обичайна за тази граматика.
