Am I the only one who appends “with the ill behaviour” in my head to the end of this thread topic every time I see it on LET
I believe LET is the only place that has this thread topic.
I made a question on stackexchange just to double check:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/481359/is-super-stable-correct-english
They are saying it's a
informal adverb
. I'm not sure what you mean by "corrupting our language", could you clarify?It's either stable or it's not.
True.
How about YOU stop corrupting any language by MISUSING CAPITALIZATION?
Super stable, though informal, is grammatically correct. I even come across this combination of words in research papers.
If it is stable it can only get unstable, it cannot get "more" stable tho because stable was the upper limit. Think of it as a on/off switch.
If it can get "very" stable, it can get "super" stable by the very same logic? I'm really not seeing the issue here. It can even get "stablest" (the superlative form of "stable", which pretty much is defined as "most stable" in most dictionaries afaik), which I believe would be the upper limit you're referring to?
Even the president of the US has claimed to be "very stable". Besides that being worth a good laugh, I'd think he knows the English language?
I'm by no means an expert in the English language, but I resided in the US for quite some time so I do know a fair amount.
For me there is stable and not stable.
Just my jayztwocents.
90% of the time its 100% stable
It really can't. You can only say stuff like "more stable(than unstable) or most stable(from the bunch of stable things) where most refers to the time it was in the stable state compared to the time it has been in the unstable state". English language has nothing to do with the above.
You're wrong according to Oxford: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/stable

And what am i according to brain? :P
Whose brain? :P
A working brain belonging to anyone.
Brains work differently from what I've observed...
I used to think that way about "secure". It either is, or isn't. I've since realized the rest of the world has a range of "secure" with context (e.g. secure to neckbeard guy next to me, not secure against NSA).
But I'd like to hear your rant on "a more perfect... " from, I think, the US Constitution (or Bill of Rights?). I consider perfect to have an upper limit.
But if you're fucking Margot Robbie and you say, "perfect", how do you top that when Gal Gadot gets into bed with you?
Nope, same shiz, won't waste my letter quota. How you perceive things does not change their state.
Says you...

EDIT2:
I dunno, this has probably changed a bit since the last time I read it, haha:

I still don't understand the Uncertainty Principle. Could someone explain it to me?
maybe?

It's like Schroedingers VPS.
You don't know if it's up until you ping it.
Until you ping it, it's both up and down.
Or neither.
