@user62015 Oh, so by it making you mad, you meant you were having a good time? :-)

user62015

@DamkerngT. Do you think there can be any logic behind these nonsense answers?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@user62015 I love that author.

user62015

@DamkerngT. Yes, I though whatever I know that is not enough to face these kinds of exams. And the answer was looking very easy.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@user62015 There is one logic. The author is selfless. . .

user62015

@DamkerngT. I am serious, I think I should post on this website and write down the complete story so maybe someone had faced this type of problem in the past and has some logic to face them.

16:04

Fun fact: A fly sat on my screen; I thought SE was doing something to chat.

@user62015 Do it; but try to make the question as plausible as possible.

Don't reveal the idiot thinks the answer is B until the last paragraph of your answer.

user62015

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Sure.

Damkerng T.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M I'd rather not encourage anyone to write such a post.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Damkerng T.

So is the site as a whole.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@DamkerngT. Yes @Dam; I'm saying if he's dying to do it, so be it.

But it must look as legit as any other question.

@DamkerngT. I need to know how he can play with my emotions, or maybe he has some reasons.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Like for example, it shouldn't begin like The author says it's B but why?

Damkerng T.

One thing I've observed is that regular folks on ELL aren't fond of nitpicking or peeving.

But who knows? :-) Everyone is different, and the site seems to have its own mood too.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@DamkerngT. And yet they nitpick.

Damkerng T.

They nitpick to make things right.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Yes, and then nag about it.

Damkerng T.

16:09

But a question that comes from an angle that wants to nitpick someone or something is usually not received well.

Hmm.

Q: What is the difference between "see something closely" and "see something up close"?

Foof I gave up on that chem question. I think our Nicolau will handle it well, and I shot my comment:

That is an if clause, not an assertion. Regarding your question, I suspect along with the incomplete descriptions they give because of these noble metals' inertness, it's because they can adsorb hydrogen and oxygen quite easily and efficiently, and that may be because of their porosity. This is a Q/A, so unless the answer is backed up with lots of proofs and is usually scientifically correct, we won't bother you with sheer out-of-stomach opinions. That's why you see this different than forums. — inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M 20 mins ago

That's because of the nature of the word develop I reckon.

Damkerng T.

nods

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Some verbs just are really rare in their passive forms.

Damkerng T.

16:26

Though I think the sentence reads better without develop.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

You mean with the omitting of that entire clause?

Damkerng T.

Just drop the develop, and maybe use open up instead of open.

Read "don't use your common sense".

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

I won't.

Hmm, let me think. This use of develop is a without-object use here, right?

Damkerng T.

Develop needs an object, I think.

It (that) wouldn't be possible to develop without this.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@DamkerngT. Where's the object here?

In other words, is this an intransitive develop?

Damkerng T.

16:46

> We want to develop it.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Hmm. . .

Damkerng T.

> It's possible to develop it.

> It's not possible to develop it.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Right.

Too much languagy thinking got me mixed up.

Damkerng T.

However, develop can be intransitive, too.

Which means, basically, "to grow".

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Well, I think it's the inTr use here.

Damkerng T.

16:48

So, it's a bit ambiguous. (Which is why I think the sentence would be better without develop.)

nods

Basically, the sentence (clause) wants to say "X can open opportunities which wouldn't've been possible to develop without Y".

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@DamkerngT. How? Develop: to come gradually into existence or operation; be evolved.

Damkerng T.

Now, what does that mean?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

To come to existence.

Damkerng T.

My alternative: "X can open (up) opportunities which wouldn't've been possible (at all) without Y".

Maybe X and Y are the same thing.

Oh, they used them differently, X and Y.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

That's a cute edible adorable alternative, but I'm trying to help the OP achieve it by not omitting it. However, I'll note that they can save themselves some trouble.

Damkerng T.

16:52

nods -- reading "develop" as "to grow" or "to evolve" is possible too, imo.

Ah, I can recall now.

The main reason I suggested my alternative that way was because the OP originally used develop in the passive voice.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

BTW I'll get to answering it after I'm done with these sour cherries.

Damkerng T.

@DamkerngT. @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Could I post a question here?

Damkerng T.

If it's about language or language learning. :-)

What's the question?

user62015

That house (a)/is built of (b)/ stones. (c)/
No error(d)

It says the option C has the error, but I am not able to understand what error it has?

Damkerng T.

17:21

That house is (a), right?

user62015

Yes.

Damkerng T.

To understand the question, you'll need to know the phrase be built of and the countability of stone.

user62015

But what problem this word "stones" has?

Damkerng T.

Though stone can be used as either a countable or an uncountable noun, you need to know when to use which.

When it's used as material, it's uncountable.

user62015

Okay. You made sense, thank you so much.

I wonder if all Indian writers never did that before.

And always wrote this instead:

Damkerng T.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

17:41

Though I worry I might have over-formatted it a bit.

It's looks too much formatted!

Damkerng T.

I think the OP can still argue that develop being used in the passive voice makes enough sense.

Not sure about their first language, but

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Let's see if they argue.

Man when was the last time I saw that +10?

Today.

But whatever.

Damkerng T.

iirc I think in several Asian languages, it makes sense to say "the opportunities were possible to be developed", as well as "the opportunities were possible to develop".

(As well as "It's possible for us to develop the opportunities.")

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Yes, it also makes sense in Persian, but not in Turkish.

Parallax barrier

A parallax barrier is a device placed in front of an image source, such as a liquid crystal display, to allow it to show a stereoscopic image or multiscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, it consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of depth through parallax in an effect similar to what lenticular printing produces for printed products and lenticular lenses for other displays. A disadvantage of the technology is that the viewer must be...

I originally signed up with my real full name, but I decided to switch to snailplane, and then to snailboat. :-)

Now I'm stuck in the past trying to summon her real name.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Good luck, it's probably been PURGED WITH FIRE

... or maybe not

Unrelatedly, it is extremely weird to see such a high (i.e., aggregated) number for rep under my own name...

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@NathanTuggy That's my rep, mistakenly taken as yours.

Anonymous

Yeah, it's weird seeing 52.5k under my name. The most rep I have anywhere is like 20k.

Nathan Tuggy

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Well, we're not off by much, eh?

@snailboat Exactly!

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

The same aggregate number shows up when you sign up for a site on Area 51:

@snailboat There it almost makes more sense, as A51 is about nothing but expanding the network

Chat is kinda SE-wide. It's a little odd for me.

Since I'm a moderator on Japanese.SE, I'm technically a moderator on all of SE chat.

Anonymous

So my name is blue.

Anonymous

But I really just want to chat :-)

Anonymous

I only want to do moderatorly things on Japanese.SE.

Nathan Tuggy

Yeah, I get the technical reasons but it's pretty confusing from even a power user perspective that there are exactly three chats... SE, SO, and MSE. Because reasons?

Anonymous

That's weird, too.

Once you hit 10k rep in chat, you start getting chat flags, too.

Anonymous

And that's especially weird.

Nathan Tuggy

I've seen a few of the MSE questions about "what do I do with chat flags for XYZ random room on the other side of the network?" and such, yeah...

... huh, I'm halfway there

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@NathanTuggy When you get network-wide, there's almost nothing that isn't for God's sake a mess.

/me zzz. Later people!

Damkerng T.

@snailboat It's particularly weird when the flagged message is not English!

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Later!
