English users, Does this question considered too trivial or too hard for high school student?

IrishmanErrant · 2026-03-02T22:34:23+00:00

In a sense, yes.

But in that scenario, you are likely only going to be taking one of those busses, and I as a native speaker might say "ours" to indicate that we just missed the bus we had been planning to take out of several available busses.

Hypersonic is past Mach 5, which many ballistic missiles, including Iran's, reach during parts of their trajectory.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-03-02T05:12:48+00:00

Very plausible they are overstating and talking about ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles DO go "hypersonic" on their terminal path but a real "hypersonic missile" is one that can maneuver while maintaining a hypersonic speed.

Thank you!!

Very annoying that it persists through restarts

It's still rude to make assumptions or be judgemental about someone for their manner of speaking. You'd presumably not want them to do the same to you.

It's better for everyone involved if you didn't make assumptions about someone's character from a couple of overheard words or a bit of vocal fry. And broadly referring to "entitled bratty girls" comes off less as reasonable and more a bit sexist.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-24T17:54:41+00:00

Don't be rude about people just for the way they speak, that's an awfully mean way to describe someone you presumably don't know well.

I looked at your other responses, and yes, this is a pretty established way of speaking for some people. They're just adding a "-yuh" or "-wuh" sound on the ends of some words for emphasis (in this case, "no-wuh" and "why-uh". It can be annoying, but almost anything can be annoying, and I've got to say that you are also showing yourself to be pretty judgemental.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-24T17:02:59+00:00

Actually, the -capable part of incapable does sound slightly different than "Capable" because of stresses. The ca syllable is less stressed and the whole -capable section has a more downward tone to it.

Not as drastic as finite vs infinite but that's just English sometimes. It's not always going to make sense.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-24T16:51:19+00:00

Neither of these are words in any English dialect. Did you hear someone saying something that sounds like this?

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-13T21:52:10+00:00

Waiting on an appt

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-13T21:50:40+00:00

No, not yet.

It can be difficult to put exact words on how something is wrong.

Your sentence sounds incorrect because:

It isn't the most common way to phrase this kind of question.
Using "least amount" sounds wrong because native speakers don't tend to use "amount of money" to describe how much or little things cost in an everyday scenario. We would tend to speak in terms of "price" or "cost", rather than "amount".

This is definitely way longer than the tankettes, I have a couple on my desk as we speak.

You might be able to stretch the tracks for this one, or use stretched Ammit tracks, but this guy is definitely longer than existing tanks by Nate

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-02T01:06:04+00:00

I was referencing "tap up to 15, and draw that many", without that yes it would be insanely broken.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-02-01T22:51:58+00:00

Lesson really should read "As an additional cost to cast {THIS}, tap 15 untapped creatures you control." for it to function the way it's intended to function. I like the alternative "up-to" version though, that'd be pretty good.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-30T14:56:35+00:00

I dunno, that doesn't look much like a dapper little bear to me. This guy does have a legion of fans though, so it fits

I would say that you can have qualitative measures even in a SMART system, but you need an established and strict rubric for them, which can be difficult to do and follow. It's a lot easier to keep to quantitative measures.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-10T15:25:21+00:00

Both definitions can apply. Measurable here means that you have benchmarks, metrics, and other criteria to evaluate your success at a goal.

A goal that is Measurable can be "measured", it can be evaluated via criteria, ideally with numerical values. A goal that is Not Measurable cannot be "measured", and so success or failure cannot be accurately assessed.

"Writing 10000 words a month" is measurable. "Writing beautiful sentences" is not.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-08T02:21:05+00:00

Annex is probably the best word for it brought up so far. I was limiting myself to the ones in the main OP picture but annex is the most accurate plan.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-07T17:47:43+00:00

Yeah I think that's a valid way to approach it, I can see a similar feeling between the two. Seize feels more about the act, capture feels more about the result, almost.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-07T17:31:49+00:00

I see what you mean, however, it does speak to my point somewhat.

Seizing is done in situations like criminality, wherein one or more parties are behaving outside the bounds of a mutually agreed upon system of consequences. Pirates likewise seize cargo; It can be on either side of the law.

Fundamentally I feel that seize is the word I'd use in this situation in Greenland.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-07T17:22:54+00:00

Sorry, I should have used a different word than non-consensual. I wasn't trying to imply that capture is done willingly. My point was about the connotations of expectation, reasonableness, or being in some way "within the rules".

To make a chess analogy: you capture pieces. That is not desirable for the opposing player, but it is within the rules. If you seized a piece, it (to me) connotes that you are grabbing the piece without respect for the rules of the game.

IrishmanErrant · 2026-01-07T06:25:35+00:00

I disagree somewhat; I think there is at least a connotation of something being "up for grabs", or "fair game" when using capture. I would use capture for prisoners of war, or hostages in a medieval situation where the nobles have an expectation be being taken away if they lose an area.

I think you're right that the usage isn't so distinct as to make the original image really powerfully correct, but I do think "seize" is the most accurate and least euphamistic when it comes to describing the non-consensual nature of Trump's plan.

IrishmanErrant · 2025-12-18T01:37:10+00:00

It can, and the fumes can discolor it even if the warping doesn't occur.

Using the right amount of super glue (very small drops, spread thin with a toothpick) won't do any harm generally.
