the word "untriaged" from "triage" is quite the same thing that French word "triage"? (tri/trier = sort)

Yes, can you give the context?
Triage is often used in the context of doctors in case of an emergency.
When they have to decide which patients to treat first.

That means the urgency (the status) of the issue has not yet been determined.

ok, not exactly the meaning of French 'triage' :)
(well I'm not sure, could 'unsorted' stand for 'untriaged'?)

@MετάEd I have a hat! A real one!
@Mitch Not in the sense of tediously explaining everything. I'm thinking more like "this is a thing" so newbies might recognize it.

Hey guys
@KitZ.Fox So that hat idea worked?
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
@PhonicsTheHedgehog Um, well. I emailed the team and asked them for a hat and they sent me one.
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
@KitZ.Fox When in doubt, ask. I should do that more often XD
Should I use a noun or gerund in this case?
"Through reflection on his past action" or is it "Through reflecting on his past action?"
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
What's the rest of the sentence?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
"He attempts to make things right through reflection/reflecting on his past actions."
Forgot an 's' there before.
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
He attempts to make things right by reflecting on his past actions.
Through reflecting on his past actions.
I guess I would use a gerund.

Ate food, drank alcohol.
Did you do anything fun?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
Sounds awesome
I wrote like, dozens of college supplemental essays
I reached college limit on Common Application
o.o
Well I feel good after doing work, so that's good
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Wow.
Congratulations, I think?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
Yeah. We have a saying in Korea, I think it goes like this:
"Like how Zhao Yun uses up many old blades..."
Basically means spam it until it works/gets done
 
Kit Z. Fox

Nice.

How many places have you applied?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
Um, 20.
Statically speaking I'll get into at least one... I hope.
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
Wow.
How is your GPA?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
On 4.0 scale, weighted... 3.94-ish?
Is that good? :P
Not sure - I got some bad grades on World Languages
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
SAT?
3.94 is excellent and you know it. Did you take AP classes?
 
Phonics The Hedgehog

Eh, not good. 1990 is my latest. Got 31 on ACT tho...
I took one AP class... it all doesn't add up
I guess I'm worse at Standardized testing. ;_;
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
1990 is bad? I guess they changed things.
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
My mom was pretty shocked and mad... high expectations, I guess
Its on 2400 scale, so I suppose I should've done better.
Now, new SATs... those young whippersnappers won't know how hard it was for us
 
Kit Z. Fox
Kit Z. Fox
You'll do fine. You'll get in most places, I bet. Hardest part will be choosing which place to go to.
 
Phonics The Hedgehog
Phonics The Hedgehog
That is true.
Thank you~

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. mmm... lots of roughage.
Is there any place that uses tags not a big mess of tags?
 
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Chem.SE
ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
But there's the thing that tags is the second popular tag on meta, after discussion.
@Mitch But I think I agree that tags by definition make messes on language sites.
 
Delta Escher

Probably Lifehacks
I think there's like 10 tags.

Well, about Lifehacks the site itself is the problem. :)

hello
Dear Mr. ,

I submitted a scientific paper titled "Model-driven Framework for the configuration and the deployment of applications in the Cloud" in CLOUD COMPUTING 2016. The contribution number is 20075 and it was accepted as a regular paper/ academic research. I would definitely like to register this paper and present the work done within. But as I am a student and I do not take a scholarship, I can not afford all these registration costs. So could you, please, support me.

We would appreciate an answer at your earliest convenience.
please the sentence "So could you, please, support me"
it soonds not good here
could you please give me more suggestion to change it ?
 
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
@Sayros What's with the "please" in the middle?
Just go with "I was wondering if you could"
 
Sayros
Sayros
ah So could you please support me *
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. then I change I was wondering if you could help me ?
 
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
> So I was wondering if you'd be so kind to support me in blah blah blah.
 
Sayros
Sayros
oh thats nice ^^ thanks
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. thanks a lot :)
 
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Anytime
Though I wonder if the rules of this chat allow this kind of proofreading here.
Are there any prohibitions @Mitch?

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. I don't think there's anything special about language sites. tags are a mess everywhere unless they are low-number expert driven. When anybody is creating them and curation comes afterwards they're just a mess.
@KitZ.Fox Oh. OK. still would take a lot of work to list them.
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Sure, it's OK to ask, but there's no compunction for anyone to do it. It's on a 'if I feel like it' basis. Chat is not a proofreading service; we'd be happy to help out, but that's not the main reason people come.
