@ColleenV But "-lived" would mean they are extinct ... Hello, how are you doing?

... completed my Master of Arts degree in Economics or ... completed my Master of Arts in Economics degree

the latter feels awkward

The hardest part of ice skating is the ice, when you come right down to it

@AIQ Why not Master’s degree in Economics or Economics MA or MA in Economics?

Also, here is my research to make sure an apostrophe was called for in ‘master’s’: english.stackexchange.com/questions/3638/…

Also my research for long-lived : merriam-webster.com/dictionary/-lived

I wouldn’t want my chatting to get closed for not showing my research ;)

@ColleenV Yes, Master's degree in Economics sounds good, but I wonder in a sentence, where should one place "degree" when "MA" is spelled out ... like you wrote MA in Economics, so should it be "I recently completed my MA in Economics degree"? or "I recently completed my degree in MA in Economics"?

@EddieKal Happy Saturday! I think one post got deleted for being off-topic. But I was curious to know how they would give away their 1200 rep points for proof-reading ... Interesting question and comment-fighting in that one ...

Happy Saturday to you too!

Can't find it anymore

Do you remember what the title was like?

I left a comment asking OP how they were planning to do this, but the post is gone ...

It was something about correcting the English of their Stack overflow questions

I and Lambie commented

Okay interesting, and very unusual. I don't think I can easily find it.

Since it's gone already, we don't have to worry about it, for now at least

@AIQ Both sound redundant

MA in Economics (if in a sentence I would not capitalize the "e" in economics, but in a CV maybe)

@EddieKal Yeah, I usually write "master's degree in economics" or "Master of Arts in Economics"

with the latter being the title of the degree

I'm an MA in R

When does a joke become a dad joke?

@M.A.R. ooooooohhhffff

@AIQ If you say Master of Arts "degree" is implied.

Is there an MA that isn't a degree?

@ColleenV oh gotcha!

@AIQ Master's degree is common, but you can drop degree there too informally - I got my master's from U of Slacksalot

> The main objective was to find out if there was strong evidence [that justified]/[to justify] revising the mineral tax rate.

Are they equivalent?

@ColleenV I have a Myocardial Arrhythmia in the hospital

The tax rate has not been revised yet ... so I think "to justify" is more appropriate, but I am not sure

@AIQ At first glance, I would go with "to justify"

"strong" seems out of place to me though

I might go with enough evidence

but "strong evidence" seems fine looking at other example

I went with "to justify" as well, but I can't say why the other does not sound good to me, even though that is grammatically correct

It feels like you are reviewing a decision in the past

not conducting a study to gather evidence in the present

at least that is my intuition about it
