"Stop" has a different meaning than "Pause". The original source says "Pause". By choosing to use "Stop" instead, the article manipulates the meaning. It should use "Pause" to stay true to the original source.
- mherrmann 7y agoLet me illustrate this: "I ran a marathon yesterday. I stopped at mile 15." has a very different meaning from "I paused at mile 15."
- blensor 7y agoOnly because pause has an implied continuing while stopped requires an explicit continuing. Which might not even be the case depending on context because if you stopped at a red light I would assume that you did not give up your car and walked away but you are waiting for the condition to change before you start again
- mherrmann 7y agoI stand by my point. If I say "I ran a marathon and stopped at mile 15." then I hold that most people will interpret this as "I stopped and did not continue". If you see it differently, then I guess we simply disagree on this point.
- basch 7y agoBut language isnt that rigid. Stopping at a red light and stopping during a marathon imply different types of stopping. Im not sure how you can claim Daimler means the marathon type and not the red light type.
- endorphone 7y agoDid you stop to go the washroom? Did you stop to let a cramp pass? I stopped reading at 11pm last night, yet I may indeed read again tonight. Stopping something has never demanded permanence. Indeed, in the exact same header that you're arguing about they also use the word Entwicklungsstopp (which effectively means engineering freeze or stop -- most interpretations favor the latter -- which yet again may or may not be forever). This is an absolutely silly argument, however the article by Electrek is perfectly fine.
