      @tnielsenhayden @annafdd also, I think it's only for fiction. In nonfiction, it's information that counts, not native sense of style/beauty

      @tnielsenhayden E.g., the "Apply to VP" webpage requesting "a synopsis or outline," when we aren't making any distinction.

      @tnielsenhayden @MrPersimmon Hrm. In "cease & desist", cease means stop, desist means don't start up again. Key technical distinction.

      @tnielsenhayden @MrPersimmon If you only ordered someone to cease, they could validly comply by momentarily not doing whatever it is.

          . @chaosprime I'd predict the court would say that if you know hairsplitting definitions of "cease", "desist" is also in your vocabulary.
