Not sure you really meant "mitigated" here, perhaps "mixed" is what you meant?
- m-p-3 7y agoIf the parent commenter is francophone it's possible he used the word "mitigated" because it looked similar to mitigé, which basically translate to "mixed" in English.
- babayega2 7y agoNow that you are mentioning it I clearly see that as a francophone, I had not realized he/she had written something inconsistent. Thanks. In the meantime I will be upgrading wine to run Photoshop. Thanks wine team.
- sjwright 7y ago“Mitigated” normally only works in the positive, i.e. that something has reduced or compensated for problems. Here it appears to have been used as a negative, that something has reduced or compensated for benefits. It’s a subtle yet important distinction that will jar any native English speaker. “Diminished” would be a more suitable synonym, but “mixed” appears to match the intent of the whole post.
