Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3677600, member: 9853"] "reportedly" - reported by stated media source. On its own it means nothing more than that. Best to see what the media source actually reported before jumping to conclusions. A shitty parasitic scraper like Zerotackle or Yahoo News might quote a speculative piece as fact. [INDENT]Example:[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]News Factory: Big Del was spotted looking at a Tesla.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Zerotackle: Big Del is reportedly trading up from his Mini.[/INDENT] "in-principle agreement" means it's been discussed and agreed with details to be figured out later. Basically, "sounds good, let me get back to you." [INDENT]Example:[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Zerotackle: Big Del made an in-principle agreement to buy a new Tesla.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Reality: After being bugged by the dealer, Big Del said he'd like to buy a new Tesla but he'd have to run it past his boyfriend first.[/INDENT] "set to" is a prediction by the author. It's speculative only. [INDENT]Example:[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Zerotackle: Big Del is "set to" buy a new Tesla.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Reality: Big Del might buy a new Tesla.[/INDENT] TL;DR: The author is pretty sure PNG has been green lit, but it could still fall over.
