peer agreement (net): +1covers the functions Explanation: Literally, this would be that it spreads itself over the functions concerned. However, one would not say that in English, so the less expansive "covers" must do. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2010-12-21 12:12:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... if one wants the television to cover, not only the functions of a broadcast TV viewing and games platform, but also of electronic messaging, newspaper reading or shopping etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2010-12-21 12:13:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That should be " functions of broadcast TV viewing". |
