Are you sure it would make sense? If you said 10% fainter how many times fainter would that be?

Farther just means further in a distance-specific context, in much the same way as taller, wider, or more voluminous all mean bigger.
It really doesn't matter if you are further away or farther away, but it does matter if you try to raise the temperature by a farther two degrees or prefer taller breasts.

Because a verb may only have one interpretation, mightn't it.

...all meta shopping sites.
I'm at my wits end when alibaba or ali express or kelkoo or tengo or whatever is in the top five of EVERYTHING I search for. I don't ever want them to be even in the top 1000 unless I explicitly type "Meta shop" or whatever.

Apart from that one filter, just search for what I fucking asked for, not what you think I might have meant.

Glad to hear it, or else I'd be Godwined every time I post.

Totally agree. He spends 200 pages constructing quite an ingenious plot then totally throws the baby out with the bathwater. I can see the last 800 pages of REAMDE appealing to Wacky Races fans though.

Could the spending be deployed in different endeavours that would outweigh the lives saved from terrorism? (Not that we have a lot of proof it saves any lives at all from terrorism).

(blushes) uh... believable, not beleivable!

Plenty of languages routinely use double negatives as ways of reinforcing the negative. English should be able to adapt to this too, without ambiguity. And in fact it does.
Find me a beleivable argument for interpreting "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more" as "I'm gonna keep on working on Maggie's farm".

The English most of the world learns is called EFL. There is a profession called TOEFL, a subject called TEFL, translations intended for non-native speakers are often required to be in EFL.
EFL is neither EN_US nor EN_UK. It's "English as a foreign language". Listen to a teacher speaking EFL and you'll see what I mean.
