Nauruan navigational system
The Nauruan navigational system is a way of expressing direction, similar to North, South, East and West, but limitations in the system mean that it is unable to be used outside of Nauru. The four main directions are pago, poe, pawa and pwiju (pwijiuw). Other directions include Gankoro and Arijeijen. == References... ==
> The average body weight among Nauruans is estimated to be approximately 100 kilograms.

Q: "The best part of it" vs "Its best part"

Fire and IceLet's makeup a movie named "XYZ". Let's say a friend of mine said, "I watched a movie named "XYZ" last night. It was really good. Did you watch it before?". I answered, "Yes, I did"; and he asked, "What do you think about it?". As answer for this question, can I say these interchangeably? Would t...

@CowperKettle . . . OwwwwwwK.
And I have a very hard radiology exam tomorrow

@It'sOver What is the scope? Only X-ray and medical radiology?

@Loong It covers a broad variety of topics, since it's probably everything a pharmacist would ever need to know about methods of diagnosis
X-ray, nuclear medicine, ECG, EEG, EMG, a bit about lasers, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, God knows what else

I see.

It's really disheveled is the problem
All over the place
I find the cutting edge (?) stuff really interesting though
Like biostimulating neurons into becoming "younger" with lasers

Do you have to estimate radiation doses?

I am wondering if problems and shortcomings are interchangeable ...

What an odd question....:)

Thanks, Lambie. I was already having a bad day.

Well, something can have shortcomings but not necessarily be a problem. I believe that without context, one can only use a dictionary. What else is there?

I wonder if fish and squid are interchangeable.
If something is attributable to marine life, then they sorta are.

My point is you're asking about two different things that overlap in a lot of contexts
And I'm back to studying physics

Fish is not to squid as problems are to shortcomings. Squid are a subset of marine life but neither problems or shortcomings are subsets of one another.

@Lambie Someone's shortcoming(s) can represent a problem for that person. However, squid aren't fish, and no fish is a squid, so it's some sort of false equivalence fallacy nonetheless.
@It'sOver is a squid, though.
(That's not a shortcoming. In fact, that was long coming.)

@userr2684291 Why is that not universal though? I think shortcomings of a person, system, program, institution, and government are essentially their problems. I am having difficulty finding an example where a shortcoming is not a problem.
userr2684291
userr2684291
Maybe it hasn't manifested itself as such.
I think it's not wrong to say that an algorithm has its shortcomings, but at some particular juncture they don't represent a problem. Maybe it's just good enough.
(I think it's not wrong to say should be I don't think it's wrong to say. I fiddled with the double negative and forgot about the beginning of the sentence.)

@userr2684291 You're on to me
Yeah they weren't really related but all I'm trying to say is one does not simply confuse "interchangeability" with synonym . . . synonymity.
Oh give me a break, I'm trying to understand physics here
