Domande riguardo a frasi esempio con, spiegazione d'utilizzo di "Version"s

A: It means the story is told in a new way.

The treatment of the story is "original"... not been done before.

A: If someone is telling you a long story, but you are busy, you can ask them to "give you the short version", meaning "please say the story quickly without going into a lot of detail". In other words, it means "give me the quick version".

A: Without context, this is difficult to answer.

There are versions with a soft top.
They are almost the same as the versions without the soft top.
The difference between these two versions is that the soft-top version has two doors.

A: They are similar in that they both refer to the name or number of a sequence or series of items. “Edition” is more commonly used for books that may get updated over time. The second edition of a cookbook, for example, will have most of the same content as the first, but with a few more recipes, corrected typos, a new introduction, that kind of thing. (If it’s a series, like a comic book, where each one is not just an update to the previous but is a continuation, those are referred to as volumes).

A version refers more to other objects, like software, toys or other products. Similar idea to editions of books, but we would never use version for books, or edition for toys or software.

A: "It's a new version of the app"
"This is a new version of the song"
"It's a new version of the game"

A: There are many versions of The Sims.
This test is the first version.

A: What do you mean? Like, text chat?

A: they are both fine and mean mostly the same! I can’t think of a time where you could say one and not the other

A: They're basically the same thing, except you'd use version for things that aren't a product/something you'd buy.

Ex. (with product)
This version of the book is easier to read.
This edition of the book is easier to read.

Ex. (no product)
When Mary is upset, it's like she's a different version of herself.

A: Both are a little unnatural. It might be better to say:
"This is just a reduced version of it." :)

downsized = to go / shrink to a level smaller
reduce = to make the amount of something smaller

Though they have very similar meanings, they are used differently depending on the subject.

For example, a company "downsizes," they are making the company smaller. You can "downsize" to a small house. You can downsize to a smaller size of clothing if you lose weight (example: "I have downsized to a size 6 pants").

"Reduce" means usually the "smaller amount" of something. For example, you have to reduce the number of employees to downsize a company. You want to reduce the cost of living, etc. You should type more slowly to reduce errors.

"This is just a reduced version" shows that you have a smaller amount of something to make it more simple / easier to understand. "Downsized" version means that you got rid of the older version and made a new, smaller version.

I hope that makes sense.

A: Your version differ_S_ from that of the other witness. (That = the version)
Your version differ_S_ from the other witness_'S_. (Witness's = possessive)
No difference in actual meaning. The version of the other witness is the same as the other witness's version.

A: Version - is different in some ways maybe good or bad but it's not an exact copy

A: What are your interests?

A: You could still say "Look who's talking." Or "I'm one to talk."

A: No problem :)

It supports a variety of smart devices except for iOS because Apple doesn't allow it due to it being a proprietary software.

____

Proprietary software means computer programs whose source code is not published. The source code is not shared with the public for anyone to look at or change unlike Android operating system :)

A: "helped me to know more"

A: In fact, there is a fault in reasoning from the first line of your argument: 'Since you are using "neither", you must be talking about two things, so you should use "are".'

"Neither" in fact makes reference to only one of the two options. Consider the example "neither of us is hungry". It could be explicitly expanded as "neither one of us [...]", therefore demanding the singular. The view that it is plural is common (in this case, "us" is the impetus), but it is not Standard English.

At the end of the day, what matter most in this scenario are the needs of the person who asked this question. In formal contexts, perhaps it should be consistently considered singular, but colloquial usage allows for more leeway.

A: After a number like this, it means "or maybe a few more". "20 or so" could be anywhere from 20-29, though it's probably less than 25.

A: "Thanks a million" is enough. No need to add "times"

Overall, you're very good :)
