peer agreement (net): +1A commitment to idea/design (XXX knows how to take an idea and stick with it) Explanation: Hello, The idea is that this artist/designer knows how to create an idea/design and stick with it parti pris (here) = décision arrêtée (commitment; firm decision) Vieilli ou Littér. Décision irrévocable, idée arrêtée. Il n'y a que les hommes forts (...) pour avoir ces partis pris de confiance, cette générosité pour la faiblesse, cette constante protection, cet amour sans jalousie, cette bonhomie avec la femme (Balzac, Paysans, 1844, p.20). Paul, au lycée (...) se distingua surtout par une cancrerie volontaire, entêtée (...) devant le parti-pris de paresse, le père avait voulu sévir brutalement, à l'auvergnate (A. Daudet, Immortel, 1888, p.32). Nothing to do with "bias", etc. I hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-07-26 21:17:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/parti Sorry, it should read "commitment to AN idea/design" |
