On the topic of linguistics, I think "dive" isn't a verb here, but a noun ("a dive").


Yes, but that's also how the commenter used it:

> "Deep dive". When is a dive shallow? Isn't a dive implicitly deep?


True, but I was commenting on the fact the commenter specifically called it a verb, while using it as a noun. I can't quote it now because the comment seems to have disappeared.


Ah right, missed that. The comment isn’t showing for you because you probably don’t have „show dead“ enabled in your profile settings. If you enable that, you’ll still see it.

Oh I didn't know that was a thing! I see it now. Thanks for pointing that out.
