>had had

This phenomenon that Orwell describes:
>Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:
>I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
>Here it is in modern English:
>Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.

The worst is when ing becomes in' and every sentence becomes an unreadable mess of apostraphes, an you really must contract words aside from established ones (n't for example) it looks better to eschew use of the postrophe if possible.

>>24471848
That's just the plurperfect tense. Nine times out of ten it's contracted anyway.

>big miss
i feel like this should only apply to earnings, you can miss earnings bigly, but like how is sth like apple not pivoting to ai fast enough or whatever a "big miss"? also i hate "spend" used a noun: ad spend, compute spend, whatever spend

>>24471659
Ironically the "improper" use of it to mean "raises the question" is more logical than the "proper" use of it to mean "assuming the conclusion" which only entered the English lexicon as a result of some doofus poorly translating Aristotle or whoever it was

funnily enough the only way to fix this is to continue using it the "wrong" way until it's so ubiquitous it becomes the "right" way

>Ignorance is actually progressive

>>24471723
I'm sorry you've never taken a rhetoric or debate class. "Begging the question" is a term for when an argument uses its premise to justify the conclusion. It's a type of erroneous, circular logic, such as:

>We know the napkin religion is the one true religion, because it says right there on the napkin that it is the one true religion.

My wife the other day employed a nice little flourish to use the term in its popular, incorrect sense while not actual being incorrect, saying something like "This begs one to ask the question [...]." I suppose doing this this splits the difference. Personally, when I think there's general misunderstanding about a term, I typically just avoid it.

It means in the sense that it circumvents the question entirely, i.e. reducing it to a beggar, as in: "beggars belief". Don't be a dipshit.
