There’s rocks and plants and corals and shit under water. My trainers will use all those Pokemon. Not sure about ice yet. That can be in the sequel game – the icy under water gym.

1·10 days agoI don’t think we understand each other.
To me, several times shorter makes perfect sense, and twice as short is a special case, where it is two times as short. Thus, several times shorter includes:
- two times shorter == twice as short
- 1.5 times shorter == 1.5 times as short
- five times shorter == five times as short
- several times shorter == several times as short (the “as short” construction sounds clunky to me here in this case)
As i write these out, i realize what you were trying to say: X times shorter is equivalent to X times as short for me, so equivalent that I didn’t realize when I was using one or the other.
You are saying that for some people, the “X times shorter” construction doesn’t sound natural. I can respect that, but it doesn’t seem like a part of mainstream English to me at least.
“Twice shorter” isn’t what anyone is talking about. That isn’t how you combine the words, at least to me.

21·10 days agoCould of is gibberish, i agree with you there.
But making something twice as short makes perfect sense to me. However short it is now, make it half that size.
What is the confusion?
I just get it from fdroid
I used these at a concert recently. It said, glasses nearby…oh wait no it didnt, that bird means no glasses nearby… I dont get it.

7·10 days agoI disagree. Twice as short would be half the length if you asked me (same as twice as long, in a glass half empty, half full situation).
In a similar but different example, if you have a 1000 word essay and you cut it to 500 words, you could make it twice as short again by cutting it to 250 words.

This implies that it is reliable for “surface informations” which i disagree with, though a lot of people get sucked in that way

I disagree. A big LLM might get a mundane question right, but it might not. To call it reliable is laughable.
What it is is confident, and if you don’t know the answer yourself, it will seem plausible.
