Yeah, I guess, but as long as the challenge is still achievable I can dig a large field.

It's easier to place and organize finished assets than to create new ones, though, so after a while a lot of it starts to feel copy-pasted. I'm sure that noticeable lack of effort will only be exasperated by modern automation.

*exacerbated

My spelling is accepted when I search the word.

Yes, it close enough to a homonym that I can see your confusion. Exasperated is being fed up with something, exacerbated is something making a problem worse.

Edit - Oh, if you notice in your screenshot ddg got the definition you showed from wiktionary, so I wouldn’t treat that as an authoritative source.

You never had anything to gain by choosing a different word in this discussion, your goal is to prove my chosen word wrong, and you've failed so far.

Dictionaries frequently show common usages, even when they are misnomers. Recommend taking this one onboard.

[–] nyamlae 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, because that is a completely different word.

Not according to a simple search, no.
