At the end of the story, Charlie is different from the person he was at the beginning. He does not want people to pity him, and he decides to leave town. After the operation, he started to develop his cognitive abilities and became a genius. He also realized how people treated him before he changed, and their true intentions.  He also got an opportunity to participate in the advancement of scientific knowledge.



Anyway I bet Im the first dumb person in the world who ever found out somthing importent for sience.



Although the effects of the operation started to wear off, Charlie remembered some of the things he learned. His ability to read and write was fading, but he learned about friendship, respect, and self-worth among other aspects of life. Charlie did not give up on his wish to become smart again, but he understood his situation better than he did in the beginning.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
