Asked on August 1, 2021 in Meaning.
Submission is derived from the verb submit; you will probably find a wider range of meanings for the verb than to the derived noun.
The word submit comes from the Latin parts sub + mittere, which means under + send : it meant to send something for judgement. From the 14th century, this started to take on the meaning that you refer to “compliance, obedience, subordination”, which refers strongly to the under– the element of judgement by some higher power.
In business (and particularly in computer systems), the emphasis is more on the send part. Here is a definition from the Cambridge dictionary :
toformally send a document, plan, etc. (and the English translation) When you can speak with a person, in a decision, you can take a decision on what you want or you have an answer to it.
When a website or app sends email or data to a server, submission is the right term to use. As of now, in our world app, the server has the authority to decide what to do with the
app’s data. This would make the server “open” if the app doesn’t send the information to the server at all.

Asked on March 26, 2021 in Grammar.
He happened to glance is simple past: we use this to talk about something completed in the past. The word before places this activity before class. On the surface, our sentence was grammatically correct. That sentence was a very good sentence but maybe not the best.
He had happened to glance past perfect, at the room he had passed. We use this to talk about something completed that took place before certain other event in the past (for example before class). Whenever the word ” before” specifies the year or month it took place, compared with the past perfect statement.
He happened to have glanced is present perfect: we use this to talk about something completed in the past which has some lasting effect, or some thing started in the past and is still happening. How did he come into class after reading this section of texts? Which option might be worth choosing this summer, since
it is likely to be the best option of all three.

This term is porting. This is definition 5 from the Oxford Dictionary :
computer: Transfer (software) from one system or machine to another:
Your sentence should therefore be:
I’m working on porting from system A to system B.

Asked on March 17, 2021 in Word choice.
Product Y can keep or retain its own features, for example after some kind of upgrade, but product X cannot keep or retain the features of product Y, because they belong to product Y.
However, if product Y is considered to be an “upgrade” of product X (e.g. ntkv xbnbbcbf’s product Xbnbc’s product Y” content), y can be an “upgrade” of product X (e If my iPhone 6 is better than the iPhone 5 (I think the iPhone 6 does better), then retain would be valid.
No of the meanings of maintain are suitable either.
How can I make it simpler by just with have
: Product X has all the features of product Y and
adds everything… Note that features are properties of something, so you need to use the preposition of rather than
from.

Asked on March 16, 2021 in Grammar.
When the informal sphere is not used, neither/nor is never informal. What’s different about Alex? Why don’t my friends care
about their future?
If Alex is really important, and you want to keep it informal, you could say that
Alex doesn’t care about his future, and none of my other friends do either or.
Is Alex going to
ruin his future?
What is your opinion on the role of the judicial system in society?

Asked on March 7, 2021 in Grammar.
What bits of prepositions are “willing to translate”, which will invariably be different across each and every language? What is a preposition? Many of them have at least 20 different meanings. According to the Cambridge Dictionary the word “on” has 26 meanings. The prepositions that are valid in a particular context are generally determined by the preceding verb, rather than the following object: in this case the need will have little effect on the meaning of the preposition.
The particular meaning in this case is RELATING TO and another example of the same meaning would
be: The Minister has refused to comment on the allegations.
at, in and for don’t really have suitable meanings for this context, though in being a CHARACTERISTIC closes.
