8 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1good, for the better Explanation: The use here means good, for the better -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2012-09-24 11:07:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I did bot post here to disagree with Jenni, my computer connection is slow rhis morning. However I do think the meaning here is good. Real can be positive or negative, and the intention of the author is to convey that the effect was neither neutral (no effect) nor negative (bad effect) |

1 hr confidence:
tangible (meaningful) good change(s) or impact Explanation: I'd go a bit further than my colleagues and say both meanings are present here, positive =good and actual (tangible) impact Usually, when positive changes are spoken about people actually expect to see some real changes, i.e. some tangible effect or meaningful impact as that is really the only way the positive change can be measured |
