Maybe they thought that writing <insert words> was more succinct than “the reason why this exists”. <insert words> expresses that sentiment idiomatically (expression) in two words instead of having to add a bunch of words around reason (you can’t just write “the reason for this” since “reason” then becomes too vague).
Also you can expect people that both italicize foreign expressions and use the proper diacritics and stuff to prefer a fancy style of writing.
- kragen 2y agoto be perfectly fair i didn't go back and add the italics until after i saw efilife's comment which used them 'reason for being' is a pretty adequate and shorter translation, but it's not valid to write it as 'reason for beinĝ', which makes it a worse alternative. also it isn't a cliché
- keybored 2y agoI like a little flair. Keep being fancy!
