peer agreement (net): +3instrumento de inadimplência Explanation: default=inadimplência -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-02-05 13:49:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Default=Failure to perform a task or fulfill an obligation, especially failure to meet a financial obligation: in default on a loan. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-02-05 14:18:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (...) "the government should not be allowed to use the printing press to bail out defaulted private concerns." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-02-05 14:24:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- instrument - the means whereby some act is accomplished; "my greed was the instrument of my destruction"; "science has given us new tools to fight disease" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-02-05 14:43:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The term Fourth Estate refers to the PRESS, both in its explicit capacity of advocacy and in its implicit ability to frame political issues. The term goes back at least to Thomas Carlyle in the first half of the 19th century. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-05 15:40:14 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- They still print bank notes, don't they (the gov.)? Or do you pay everything w. your credit card? Nowadays, they 'photoprint' the bank notes, but it is still a 'printing process' when it comes to the money you carry in your purse, the 'hard' bank note. Conversely, Journalism, the Press, the Media would be the right word, don't you think so? Don't we say in Portuguese 'vão rodar a guitarra'? |
