Fast speeds aren't a thing, just like cheap prices and wet waters aren't.
- Tokumei-no-hito 1y agonit-nit, what's wrong with cheap prices? price doesnt infer magnitude.
- abcd_f 1y agoCheap means "low in price". Price can't be "low in price", it can be just "low".
- gnabgib 1y agoCheap has many more meanings than that. It can mean comparatively inexpensive (a cheap Lamborghini), of inferior quality (cheap paperclip), miserly (he's too cheap to buy better), gained with little effort (cheap win).
- FabHK 1y agoSo what's a cheap price? A price of inferior quality? A miserly price? A price obtained with little effort? Or is after all a low price what's meant?
- abcd_f 1y agoSure. Still doesn't make "cheap price" a valid combo.
- lame-lexem 1y agocould be a contraction of cheap at the price https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cheap_at_the_price https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cheap_at_the_price
- therealdrag0 1y agoI don’t follow. Speed and price can be many values, high or low. It’s perfectly valid to add an adjective describing it as fast or cheap.
- abcd_f 1y agoCheap means "low in price", so "cheap price" makes no sense. Fast means "of a high speed", so it's the same here.
- Foivos 1y agoSomehow it has to be contrasted with ``slow'' speeds.
- abcd_f 1y ago"High speeds"
- readthenotes1 1y agoThat's a quality nit pick for sure. J/k It's a high quality nit pick imo:)
