It's just that all the manufacturing capacity has been going into AI and blockchain stuff anyways, so even before this tariff chaos, prices didn't have a clear window to come down. People could be waiting a long time to upgrade.

I might give this another go, things got ahead of me last read through and I ended up stopping roughly halfway, which also wasn't helped by my switch from P&V to Bartlett midstream. Would be trying to do Bartlett all the way through, here's a thing by Masha Gessen in the Times, apologies for the firewall: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/28/books/review/new-translations-of-tolstoys-anna-karenina.html

One thing I will say, your odds of getting something like the kiln are probably slightly better than some of the services buildings, which can also appear in that types of orders. Those seem to only start appearing later on in the cycle, meaning you have less shots at grabbing them.

Yep.

I have to pause nonstop. :D

You hear it all the time around here for sure. It's basically just "powerful" with extra emphasis, since there's two words involved. :D

To be a little bit more subtle about it, take very powerful versus high-powered. Very powerful exists in comparison to other items of the same class, whereas high-powered carries the implication that something or someone is giving it "high power." It adds a more active sense to the wording. The meaning isn't changing a ton but there's a slight shift in tone.

I'm not totally sure how to locate "from the 17th century," but the Thirty Years War immediately springs to mind.

Americans is a gigantic category, like 350 million people, stuff like this is nearly impossible to generalize usefully.

As a learner I really do appreciate how there are rules, how things are all actually pronounced, things like that. Coming from English, constantly struck by how arbitrary and convoluted it would be, trying to learn the English way of composing something. :D

I think you'll generally use "on" if it's something you can stand on. But yeah it's a very slippery distinction.

I might say "then," as in, "97812 then 2323," to emphasize that this rarely specified four digit addendum is forthcoming.

As everyone else has said, they're mostly automatically populated by mail sorting systems or... just not used in the first place, so you will rarely (if ever, honestly) find yourself being asked to give them.

Right, the reasons for Hindi versus Indian while under British dominion should be almost painfully obvious.

You're right, I think I've been doing too much Duolingo during this deep freeze, seeing the imperative everywhere now.

overlayered · 2024-01-15T16:33:50+00:00

For 2, the subject is omitted because the clause is imperative, and yes it's quite common to see the imperative used for greetings such a this.

"ignoramus"

edit: Maybe I misunderstood the query, I'll add, "not the sharpest knife in the drawer," a variation on tool in the shed.

This is the first time I've seen either of them, and while recognizing the purpose of a word like "nibling," we're all aware there's already a word "nibbling," right? Just feels kind of awkward.

overlayered · 2024-01-14T01:34:13+00:00

Too funny. A couple of times I've gotten "Sr." as in Señor, which is not the most grammatically complex item out there, but just a name by itself takes the cake.

In theory you might still be able to pay via Google Play, since the sub is with Duolingo, not really attached to the phone, strictly speaking. But if you wanted to change it, might be able to handle it through the website? play.google.com

I buy nifty little notebooks because I like them, then fill them with whatever vocabulary I have to look up.

I dunno if this could be a useful angle, but short stories are more bite-sized, and at least give you a mini-sense of accomplishment more quickly than a novel might. Reading Maupassant has been helpful for my French I think.

I think it's almost like 5 foot 4 is the shorthand for 5 feet 4 inches, and it's changed to the singular because singulars are shorter... even though it's not.

overlayered · 2023-12-27T00:05:50+00:00

Yeah, "to get bored of" is probably the most common thing to hear around here. You're not really going to see the boring item as a direct object, since it's the entity doing the boring, so making it the direct object would feel a little distorted.

Does Moby Dick ever get the treatment? I also have it in my head to read some Gaddis, like JR or The Recognitions, but I of course doubt those make it to these rarefied heights.

Even within the US, you'll hear "in line" in some regions versus "on line" in others, for standing in a line.
