Asked on December 2, 2021 in Grammar.
Is it ok to repeat words when you don’t mind it? What is the message that makes the sentence “made sense”? If you’re writing then you can re-word it to eliminate any chance of confusion or any semblance of impropriety, but for speaking it’s fine.
Quora: Is it correct to have two “is”es?
the question is “Why
is” a is “alone is”, Why are two is” equal?
The first part introduces the second part and it’s pretty clear which words belong to the parts. If you’re uncomfortable with re-wording, tell me about
it.

Asked on March 27, 2021 in Word choice.
Why do name and label different things?
Name/a word by which either a person or something is known
Label: an identifying or descriptive marker that is attached to an object.
What is important for names and labels?
In the example question, it looks like the word you want is “name”.
Consider this website: The question’s name is the question headline itself: “Is the usage of ‘labeled’ preferred to the usage of ‘named’? ‘The question’s labels are its tags: “usage”. “(==//-), “(=/)”).
I just saw your modification to this question. In the two sentences what means “named”? in the third sentence why isn’t the meaning identical? When you wake up in the morning you are called by your name. I would use number. or skip the fourth option, which just names method. Which are some synonyms for “name”?
Edit 2: Google’s built-in dictionary defines label as
a classifying phrase or name applied to a person or thing, especially one that is inaccurate or restrictive.
One can argue that labels are relevant as they support names, but the idea that they remain completely unrelated to names is a problem.

Asked on March 26, 2021 in Single word requests.
In a close sense, we used to have a close reason called “peeving disguised as a question”, which I think would be appropriate here. What is the best way to make people stop a question or two but not ask it to an online person? Why people post questions on Quora that are related to it without making any difference? How does Google explain SWR questions?
When someone asks an faq and gets an answer, this word should be faqqer.

Asked on March 13, 2021 in Grammar.
The Corpus of Contemporary American English (CBE) doesn’t have a single match for the phrase “looking forwards” and it sounds like a mistake to me. What should I say
about you reply?
What are some of the positive effects of a person using what they are learning that he is going to die soon?

What value adds to resize?
You can resize many things:
- images
- Vectors in C++
- DOM elements, using CSS
- ext4 filesystems
- A window
And many others.
Some things exist inherently that are two dimensions, others are not. All of these things are virtual, computer-based things. We already mentioned them first. Would you resize something physically but in computerized environment everything can be resized.
