Jack Doughty Feb 2, 2010:
Possible with or without "the" But I think better with, in this case, where it refers to known facts in a known case.
Vova (asker) Feb 2, 2010:
1 Нужен ли the после герундия перед facts?
Angela Greenfield Feb 1, 2010:
Blatantly +1 I am for "blatantly".
Judith Hehir Feb 1, 2010:
blatantly was my first thought. Glad I saw this below, or I would've posted it.
Definitely the best translation in my view.
Andrii Ishchenko Feb 1, 2010:
So do I.
GaryG Feb 1, 2010:
I also agree with Jack "Blatantly" came to mind even before I read the discussion entries
Elshan Abdullayev Feb 1, 2010:
I would agree with you Jack.
Jack Doughty Feb 1, 2010:
blatantly I think "blatantly" would be a better adverb here than "obviously" or "openly".
