Some time ago, someone commented (the 1st comment, I think) that he had already answered a "must" or "have to" type question 4 times, I think, and provided a link to one of the answers (a long one with deontic examples, as I recall). I'd like to read it now, but I can't find it. I can't ever find things again; I'm broken. If you can find it easily, please leave me a link. Thank you.

Never mind. I finally found it. I'm so bad at that.

You didn't mean this one?

Haha, the title and subtitle of this room now are so funny.

Good morning, fellow MLDRs

Mroing.

Why do I watch Youtube.

Word of the day: Dimples of Venus

@Cerberus It's actually better than the one I was looking for, way better. Thanks.

When a person suffers from a relapse of TB, it's a "recurrent case". What if this is initially-diagnosed TB? "Initial case"? I'm looking for a concise expression to fit into a table cell.

hunger trouble. How nice if there is a room here which can be called for hunger-relieving service!

why does this room change its name?

I came across the unfamiliar word "proleptic" yesterday; after looking it up in dictionary, I still don't quite know what it means in the context I saw it.

hello

need your advice!

does this sound right "Additionally, I would like to kindly ask you, Sir, that my test scores be sent to Rapid-Poste in the earliest convenience if that hasn't already been done for I am bound by a deadline."?

do you think it is good enough?

"in the earliest convenience if that hasn't already been done for I am bound by a deadline" => "at your earliest convenience if that has not already been done as I am facing a deadline".

thank you :)

I see someone pinged me in "Multi-Layered Discourse Room" and I wonder where the heck that is.

At least it's not TChrist's phonetic incomprehensible room

@Student404Mus No, I mean the sentence is correct and understandable before "by", and incorrect and non-understandable after. I'm feeling you transliterated that part from your native language but it doesn't work in English.

isn't it bound by something?

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ

@Luyw What? No, I was referring to this sentence

Oh my bad!

You can click the bent arrow to the left of the message to see what it was responding to

thank you didn't spot that

Sure thing

@Luyw You also need more commas: "at your earliest convenience, if that has not already been done, as I am facing a deadline".

@Cerberus too late x) thank you though!

the fool inhabiting in the opposite side of me is really a fool who smokes and talks on the phone loudly.

a wonderful bath room everyone dreams about!

@CaptainBohemian This is too bad. Nothing is worse than being annoyed at the place where you should relax.

Is <<What was it like to live in the Middle Ages?>> correct?

This is a position, a gift.

@Curio Sure.

@CaptainBohemian Big city problems

hello guys

I have a question

can someone tell me what is that letter

4th letter

that's A?

What is a word for "anticipate with sadness"? Like "mourn", but pertaining to future rather than past events? The word is slipping my mind.

> apprehend

> ...

> 2.1 archaic Anticipate (something) with uneasiness or fear.

> ‘he is a man that apprehends death no more dreadfully but as a drunken sleep’

@CaptainBohemian Prolepsis is also a manner of speaking about a thing or an event as though it had already been brought to fruition. Example: "Tomorrow we are victorious."

"anticipate (something) with uneasiness or fear"

Yep

:)

It seems like one of its less common uses though. People usually take it to mean "arrest" or "understand", right?

Is there a less ambiguous alternative?

I tried to find one, to little avail.

I'll see if I can find a good synonym. Thanks!

Sure.

Tell me if you found it.

Just ran into someone who in his profile claims he's a pianist and performs works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt, but then in his score writes the dominant chord of A major as E-Ab-Cb.

What was that beautiful word @Robusto uses in such situations?

Ah, there it is.
