-### The Gradation of the Means
+### How To Grade de Means
 
-Acting man transfers the valuation of ends he aims at to the means.
+De acting man dey transfer de valuation of ends wey im dey aim to de means side.
 
-Other things being equal, he assigns to the total amount of the various means the same value he attaches to the end which they are fit to bring about. For the moment we may disregard the time needed for production of the end and its influence upon the relation between the value of the ends and that of the means.
+As oda things dey equal, im go come assign de same value wey im attach to de end to de total amount of de various means wey dem fit bring out. For dat moment we fit argue say de time wey production of de end need and im influence of on top de how de value of de end and of de means take relate.
 
-The gradation of the means is like that of the ends a process of preferring ::a:: to ::b::. It is preferring and setting aside. It is manifestation of a judgment that ::a:: is more intensely desired than is ::b::. It opens a field for application of ordinal numbers, but it is not open to application of cardinal numbers and arithmetical operations based on them. If somebody gives me the choice among three tickets entitling one to attend to operas *Aida*, *Falstaff*, and *Traviata* and I take, if I can only take one of them, *Aida*, and if I can take one more, *Falstaff* also, I have made a choice. That means: under given conditions I prefer *Aida* and *Falstaff* to *Traviata*; if I could only choose one of them, I would prefer *Aida* and renounce *Falstaff*. If I call the admission to *Aida* ::a::, that to *Falstaff* ::b:: and that to *Traviata* ::c::, I can say: I prefer ::a:: to ::b:: and ::b:: to ::c::.
+How dem dey grade de means dey like de one of de ends, just like to prefer :🅰️: to :🅱️:. e dey prefer and e dey set aside. Na de manifestation of de judgement say na :🅰️: wey dem like wella pass :🅱️:. E dey open way to use ordinal numbers, but e nor dey open for cardinal number  and arithmetical operations wey based on top dem. If person ask me to choose one of three ticket, wey be of operas Aida, of Falstaff, and Traviata and I come choose, If na only one I go fit choose, e go be Aida, and if I fit take anoda one e go be, Falstaff, I don make my choice. E means say unda some kind condition  I prefer Aida and Falstaff instead of Traviata; if I fit choose only on of dem, I  go prefer Aida leave Falstaff. If as I choose Aida I call am  :🅰️:, and Falstaff own come be:🅱️: and  Traviata own come be ::c:: , I fit talk say: I prefer :🅰️: to :🅱️: and :🅱️: to ::c::.
 
-The immediate goal of acting is frequently the acquisition of countable and measurable supplies of tangible things. Then acting man has to choose between countable quantities; he prefers, for example, ::15 r:: to ::7 p::; but if he had to choose between ::15 r:: and ::8 p::, he might prefer ::8 p::. We can express this state of affairs by declaring that he values ::15 r:: less than ::8 p::, but higher than ::7 p::. This is tantamount to the statement that he prefers ::a:: to ::b:: and ::b:: to ::c::. The substitution of ::8 p:: for ::a::, of ::15 r:: for ::b:: and of ::7 p:: for ::c:: changes neither the meaning of the statement nor the fact that it describes. It certainly does not render reckoning with cardinal numbers possible. It does not open a field for economic calculation and the mental operations based upon such calculation.
+Wetin we go gain if we act na say we go get countable and measurable supply of tangible things dem. Den acting ma go get to choose between countable quantity dem wey im like, for example, ::15 r:: to ::7 p::; but if im get to choose between ::15 r:: and ::8 p::, he fit comr prefer ::8 p::. We fit express dis state of affairs if we declare say im value dem ::15 r:: small pass ::8 p::, but high pass ::7 p::. Dis one dey equal with de statement  of say im prefer :🅰️: to :🅱️: and :🅱️: to ::c::. As dem don substitute ::8 p:: for :🅰️:, of ::15 r:: for :🅱️: and of ::7 p:: for ::c:: e nor change de meaning of de statement or de fact wey im dey describe. E nor even allow make reckoning cardinal numbers dem dey possible. E nor dey open de field for economic calculation and de mental operation wey base on top dat kind calculation.
