Nice stuff, everyone! You have another 24 hours before I post the answer :)
Hi there! The poster above (craymond727) did a very good job of explaining it! Pressuring and pressurizing are two separate words with different meanings. Pressurizing generally refers to (as was stated in the above post) putting a gas into a container (ie increasing the physical pressure within the container while pressuring usually means coercing or forcing (but perhaps a bit softer) - think something like "peer pressuring". I hope that helps, and if you are still confused definitely let me know and we'll get things cleared up!Ender why exactly is 'pressurizing' inappropriate here? I have to admit that I've only ever run into this word once, and then I was told it was synonymous with 'pressuring', so I'm interested in what the difference is :) (also, I'm not a native speaker so I'm at a small natural disadvantage regarding the more subtle stuff, otherwise it might have been easier for me to catch it :\ )
The Dutch Plumberjack Pressurizing implies adding pressure within a sealed container, like pumping air into a tire, whereas pressuring has a less specific application. At least, I think that's how Ender took it.
Thanks guys ^_^ I also looked it up in Wiktionary (the only English to English online dictionary I know about), but that simply defined it as 'to put pressure on', so that wasn't helpful. But yeah, then it isn't hard to see why it's inappropriate here.Hi there! The poster above (craymond727) did a very good job of explaining it!
