For 'proper' language, maybe, but for intelligibility, not so much. Especially when spoken. "I want food", "Food, I want it.", "I am wanting food.", "Food for me; hungry.", "Want food.

So GRU, during Moscow work-hours, searched for terms like: "worldwide known", "think twice about", "some hundred sheets", and "company's competence". And those terms happen to all show up later

I'd add a last point that a scientific paper (or a particular experimental result) is not sufficient for 'science'. Citing a paper as either a truth or discovery is a disingenuous. The endeavour of science gets at a kind of c

The most recent large effort in the 3.0 series was to break apart all of the 'magic features' into coherent conceptual units. So if you know what you want you can now use only the magic dust that you think you need. But those unit

That is actually true in the US as well with NIH funded research [1] (the majority of biomedical research). HOWEVER, the research need only be opened after a time-embargo (generally a year). Additionally larger universities like the Univer
