It's intraprocedural.
- drewm1980 4y agoIndeed. Embarrassing! I consciously avoid using "intra" or "inter" in English for this reason, and when I do because of someone else's jargon I also say what I mean to disambiguate. Unfortunately we can't deprecate english to avoid these mistakes... but maybe we can design a system of macros we can insert into our posts to statically check if our usage is correct.
- ttfkam 4y agoI always think of "international" as the baseline, because I know it means among multiple nations. Intra- is "the other one". Also, isn't "inter-" vs "intra-" a Latin idiom? It's present in all Romance languages. English got it through French. Luckily I think this is an area where tools like ChatGPT (and modern word processor tech) can help us all out.
