In software (if there are any software people out there), is it best to name things always using American spelling? E.g., colour="Red" vs color or organise() vs organize() ?

Can I say "low frequency rate" when talking about how rarely something happens?

why not just low frequency? 'x happens at a low frequency'

or low "rate of occurrence" this is what I've been looking for.

I'm not a native speaker, we have to wait for a teadriven to show up.

frequency of occurrence.

This is it.

what is the sentence?

Notwithstanding its low frequency of occurrence, this type of error is regarded in translation as fatal.

should I change the words order?

in translation this type of error is regarded as fatal.

What kind of translation is this that can have fatal errors? What are you translating?

@JustynaNogala This type of translation error is considered fatal despite its rarity. would be better but I really doubt you want to use fatal.

I changed it into "serious"

I'm referring to the error of addition.

@JustynaNogala What's that?

But, in any case, you can say Despite its rarity, this type of translation error is very serious.

What's wrong with "notwithstanding"?

btw, how do you edit a font style while typing?

@JustynaNogala It doesn't really fit there and, anyway, you don't want to start a sentence with it. If you insist on using it, you would need something like Its rarity notwithstanding, this type of error is very serious.

@JustynaNogala ?

@terdon The most serious mistakes in translation are additions, deletions, and misinterpretations, as far as I know.

@JustynaNogala Check this out: chat.stackexchange.com/faq#formatting

Oh, you mean here in chat? Like this: *italics* and **bold**

@terdon I'd rather listen to you, you're far more familiar with English than I am. ;)

Yes I mean here in chat.

but, give me the formula.

"To be or not to be"*bold"

It's all explained in the link that DamkerngT. gave you.

But yes, *italics* -> italics and **bold** -> bold

I'll check it out later. Thank you for the correction of the aformentioned senetnce with "Despite"

happy new year!

someone got it?

What is shorten of "advertising" ? "ad" or "adv" ?

@stack Context, please.

ad is usually short for advertisement.

@crl I would! if it were 0b1111111>>5.

hmm no

@crl Okay :D

finally

@crl party like it's $\sum_{n=3}^9 n^3$

Or 8^2 chose 2

[3:9].reduce((a,v)=>a+pow(v,3), 0)

@Mitch chose?

@crl oops...'choose', binomial cowfficient

yea 64*63/2 that's basically the binary thing ^ :)

any chance to get this Q and A to +10 each for one last hat? meta.english.stackexchange.com/q/7461/9001

@crl oh right...but then you have an extra 1.
