Any academia, really.

I'm not in STEM, i'm in ... STEM-adjacent humanities, and I hear it all the time. Read it all the time. My lecturers use it, other students use it, papers use it, I'm pretty sure I used it today ... is this a regional thing or am I just moving in extremely specific circles?

Im not sure, Im in a subset of Biology and Ive never seen it, probably heard it though. I’ll probably end up seeing it more as I continue my studies but I guess we’ll see🤷♂️
Overall-Serve-2766 OP t1_jc3vb21 wrote
I am, Ive read my fair share of STEM related articles and studies and Ive yet to see albeit lol

I downvoted you and I’m an Econ and CS double
Overall-Serve-2766 OP t1_jc5njhy wrote
Different language in different areas of expertise. Obviously biology isnt the same as CS or Econ🤷♂️

It's basically the texture of a note

WarHead75 t1_jc75smj wrote
Timbre is the texture of the notes/sound, often used to describe whether the sound is natural/organic sounding as comparable to real life or ethereal like the “BA timbre”, “Metallic”, “Plastickyness”.

Tell me about it lmao, I got 18 downvotes on one of my comments😂 this was supposed to be a joke
dimesian t1_jc4bsmi wrote
Some have a word I think they like the sound of and use it were it makes no sense, like "ostensibly".

The technicalities of this headphone were fast and spacious. Powerful amplification opened up the bass and gave it more stopping power. Energy in the "air" frequency range was copious, albeit some slight sibilance could be heard on female vocals.

Why do I feel I'm about to catch an axe in the back?
Overall_Falcon_8526 t1_jc7iyfu wrote
Probably the transients. They're always sneaking around back there.

when they haven't used words like resolving , warm , detail retrieval, and other bullshit that they say without knowing what it means
BlunterCarcass5 t1_jc4x6hx wrote
Every audio reviewer has their own interpretation of what these phrases mean, making them completely meaningless
Mysterious_hooligan t1_jc4xyaj wrote
This means nothing to the objective facts
asasnow t1_jc5p7c6 wrote
Well "warm" usually means a bump in the lower mids/upper bass, which results it a more pleasant sound.

Is there any problem of using "Although" or "Even Though"?

I swear audiophile reviewers just want to pretend they're smart by using as many fancy but practically meaningless words they can find

Transparent is probably the most well defined buzzword in audio actually. But that’s not saying much

I use it all the time in emails at work! I tend to write either in either bro' talk or very proper English.

Oh I've done that using the accursed "Reply All". Not pretty but at least I wasn't fired! President of the company made brutal fun of me at staff though. Ah the good old days when you could insult the hell of of your co-workers lineage, race and religion and still get invited to the family BBQ! I miss those days...
Shirubax t1_jc8fbfg wrote
Early in my work career I decided it would be okay to write an email to my girlfriend using my work email. Since I was at work, I got interrupted multiple times, and I ended up accidentally sending the email to my boss instead of my girlfriend.
I didn't realize my mistake until he replied to the email with "I love you too"
