@linus:schreibt.jetzt | huh, I as a native speaker also understand that use of again | 13:45:40 |
@piegames:matrix.org | So when did the split happen and where did it propagate to? Gotta love etymology | 13:46:31 |
Winter (she/her) | In reply to @linus:schreibt.jetzt huh, I as a native speaker also understand that use of again interesting! to be clear, i read it as they removed it for a second+ time | 13:56:20 |
@linus:schreibt.jetzt | yeah | 13:57:04 |
Dandellion | I don't know anymore, I think its valid with wiktionary's 5th definition (and not obsolete), but I struggle to find examples specifically for a change being undone rather that describing a past state coming back "positively". | 14:00:19 |
Dandellion | if a native speaker understood I'd say it's all good | 14:01:35 |
@linus:schreibt.jetzt | "I added it and then removed it again"? | 14:01:56 |
Dandellion | yes that's how I would have said it | 14:02:13 |
Dandellion | but googling that leads to very few results | 14:02:36 |
