RE: words for edit image
Because I am trying to learn.
I'm not a linguist
I only know English grammar because it's the one I was bought up with.
(and I'm not great at it)
And I thought that if one word meant something in one language and
anther word meant something similar in another language that you could
use the words to express the meaning.
I'm just trying to get a grip on it and when I've been told that visual
display means more like graphics doesn't help when visual display in
English means the computer monitor and not the content of the monitor.
And someone has gone and used nagh beQ on the google website to mean
images, or am I confusing graphics and images, or someone should go and
fix that up.
