Wrong word choice in game

Postby Bahnzo » 08 Jul 2024, 03:43

I did a search to see if anyone submitted this, and I see you use this in some posts as well. But essentially you write "to help you *apprehend* the system" and that word should be comprehend.

It's from the Tennis School, lesson #4. Apprehend means something very different :D

Hello,

from a Google search :
Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages
apprehend
/ˌaprɪˈhɛnd/
verb

1. arrest (someone) for a crime.
"a warrant was issued but he has not been apprehended"

2. understand or perceive.
"we enter a field of vision we could not otherwise apprehend"

I use it in its 2nd meaning... :blackeye:

Fair enough I guess, but most english speakers would use comprehend. Apprehend is taken to mean arrest, as the first point shows.
