I think it's the word order, borrowed from French, that's scrutinized here. I don't know if that makes it "broken" but it is a special case with only a handful of peers. A native English construction would be genera

It can be done even in that order of events. I don't really agree with you, it's not in the public interest that property owners should be able to bogart land merely by encircling it, however the situation should arise, and it inv

Generic names have to be approved by two independent authorities and are chosen to improve safety by avoiding mixups and to suggest their function and relationship to other drugs. They are deliberately not very similar to the brand name. h

Not like that. SLRs don't have a built-in lens to contend with, and merely putting another lens over the iPhone's integrated one won't have the desired effect. There are adapters where the integrated lens is focused on a flat

The ad is going for symbolism so that's the framework for interpreting it. The disgrace would be in that interpretation. To make this clear, I'll describe a hypothetical ad for a fast food restaurant that depicts throwing away com

There's a more charitable reading that you should probably give them given how much time they have spent in the region! It's a list of three distinct places: mainland Greece, the Cyclades, Crete.

In this case, insult was further compounded because of a prerelease leak of a Legend of Zelda title _and_ charging for early access to an update to make it playable with Yuzu. That Yuzu reportedly has generally better performance than a Swi

This makes it sound like the designation is latent, even if rejected by committee right now. They acknowledge an anthropogenic "event" is under way but aren't admitting the anthropocene because of its recency and unclear boun

Jobs left Apple in 1985, and there hadn't been anything but one model of Mac by then, and he wouldn't return until 1997. The PC-like explosion of Mac models and various peripheral projects like printers, cameras, and PDAs happened

Not OP, but you seem to be thinking about this in a particular way. There are some things I don't want to be read, but not in the sense that they're "high value" in a way that would attract motivated attackers. I'm

I can only guess, but, to borrow TV nomenclature, synchronizing was probably based on the horizontal blanking interval. That is, the period between lines that is most black because it's scanning the dark drum in between ends of the pap

This might stem from noncount noun rules rather than any particular trend for the word "pants". Typical example is the word _water_. It is noncount except when talking about types of water. E.g., this year we introduced a vitamin

Still reading but this is an interesting position to juxtapose with the repeated axiom that thou shalt not roll thine own crypto. Instead, the claim here is that you cannot trust crypto that you didn't roll yourself. Indeed, maybe you

We learn these rules in school, although the degree to which students care varies. But, I was deprogrammed of my prejudice in University linguistics courses (highly recommend). What I learned is that speech is primary and it comes in many v
