Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
You may be technically correct but let’s put it in practice:
Think of this conversation:
“This is a complicated problem”
“No it’s an uncomplicated problem “ -> sounds unnatural
“No it’s a simple problem” -> sounds natural
Exactly.
One of my favorite series ever, Neon Genesis Evangelion, recently got a re-dub with a "new" English script--one that, while technically more accurate to the Japanese, also does not sound like sentences a human being would actually say, for the reasons above.
Apparently it's the same script the anime studio originally wanted them to use when it was first brought over. No wonder the dub studio (ADV, now Sentai Filmworks) stuck to their guns until they let them change it.
You could also say "No, it's not complicated," instead of "No, it's uncomplicated."
Yep, multiple natural ways to say it without saying "uncomplicated"
I bring it up because the DSM-5 lists two types of PTSD that are supposed to be opposites:
but those words don't describe polar opposites. leads me to believe that the whole thing was written by thesaurus-armed retards. no wonder the mental health system is in shambles.
