@snailboat I'm sorry );

How does one come up with a non-generic title for translation-type questions like this?

Do you people use "get over it" in situations like this?

I thought you say "get over it" when the other person is complaining about something to you, and you want to convey something along the lines of "Stop obsessing over what happened. Get on with your life."

@snailboat I've been thinking about this

I just realized a crucial difference

"aughter" doesn't really have a meaning (at least, not a clear one)

So even though "daughter" and "laughter" both have "aughter" in it, the fact that they have different reading doesn't feel as jarring

Whereas the 拠 in 証拠 and 根拠 kind of have a meaning

Or rather, 拠's meaning (or partial meaning) is the same in both 証拠 and 根拠

Having different readings of 拠 for these 2 compounds would be analogous to having "logy" pronounced differently in "biology" and "psychology"

(This would make for a more apt comparison than the "aughter" in "daughter" and "laughter")

p/s: I nearly typed "slaughter" instead of "laughter" there. Dark thoughts

Hah, I never realized that "slaughter" ended with "laughter".

@snailboat I can see using it with a close friend, in the sense of "oh come on, just get over it already" when talking about something in the past that your friend knows they really should be over.

@3to5businessdays It's fine and encouraged, but maybe comment on the other answers when the question dramatically changes to see if they want to update their answers. (Usually the OP is supposed to do this, but sometimes they don't know.)
