The English language can be a mystery even to an English native language writer who is English.
It is a notoriously difficult language to learn, I am told, it is a very easy language to misunderstand
and even easiler to misuse.
Having said that, there is a skill in adeptly describing a concept and not everyone has that skill.
The combination of these factors is probably why the message is not universally comprehended.

To reduce it to its most basic, it appears that there will be settings that will allow various levels of
loading of the MSFS scenery, whereas at present there is a fixed level.

 

 

Absolutely. I was thinking along the lines of programmers trying to communicate complex, technical ideas to someone who potentially doesn't understand the jargon, concepts, or methods (a game of whispers) -- or they do, to an extent, but simply don't know how to convey said information accurately.

Again, the official forum post makes perfectly sense to me if you try to understand what she means.

About English, it has become the world lingua franca,I'd rather have French like two centuries ago but it is English right now thanks to American culture.  I have spoken and negociated in English, with Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Israelis, Russians, various Europeans nationals including Brits and even Americans 😄 .   Misuse (dreaded faux amis and use of tenses like with a verb like wish)  and awkwardness certainly, easy to misunderstand nope if you put aside the necessary ambiguity sometimes needed in any interaction.

About describing a concept, a French 17th century writer Nicolas Boileau wrote in the beautiful French of these times Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement, et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément. Whatever is well conceived is clearly said and the words to say it come with ease. True for any language I suppose.

It sure does but when I was at school, In English, I was on the "thick table" as they thought I as was "stupid" when it came to English. Little did they know or I know I have dyslexia. Far far to old to care what people think about my grammer and spelling. it is what it is 🙂

Goto 5:50 to 7:20 😄 But true
