That is not what "unstop" means. You unstop a drain that is clogged, you don't unstop something you want to restart.
Better than my English second language teacher claiming that a "ship in distress" is doing fine because "distressed" is the opposite of "stressed" (and calling me into her office because I had corrected her in front of the class).
when I was studying electronics in vocational school, our teacher insisted that humans cannot hear as low as 50hz. because then we would just be hearing constant buzzing from all the electrical outlets...
Ouch. Yeah, that's bad.
That's an invaluable lesson.
Tbh it bothers me that invaluable doesn't mean "with no/little value".
"Inflammable" is synonymous with "flammable".
What a country!
It does, it means no value, as in priceless.
Not really, the term comes from a time that value equaled to price. The modern meaning of value is equivalent to importance though. No value means without importance, not without price, which is not equivalent to invaluable.
If they weren't such opposed concepts one could even let it pass, but "invaluable" cannot be corresponded to "no value" anymore.
Years ago I learned (the hard way) that people do not like to be corrected in front of other people; leadership especially. It’s better to speak with them privately, if at all.
I was kind of past giving a shit. The teacher and I hated each other's guts, but she couldn't do a damn thing to me because I was top of my class (ESL at least) and represented my school multiple times in national competitions, and any attempt on her part to sabotage me would have been obvious. The worst thing she could do was mark one of my answers incorrect because I had used an American synonym instead of the British word (I think it was "trunk" instead of "boot"), and when I reminded her that she had marked it correct for two other students, she went back and crossed them out. My classmates knew and didn't resent me for it.
I took an option to graduate early from that class mostly out of spite, but partly because I knew I couldn't keep biting my tongue.

You unstop a drain to make it go again. You unstop texts to make them go again. Seems fine to me.
It's totally appropriate. They're conflating their spam with a stream of shit that's backed up, which is entirely accurate.
Stopn't
Stop've
I don't know, the MW defines unstop as "free from obstruction" or "remove a stopper". You could say that the "stop" text functions as an obstruction or stopper, which you can remove in order to receive texts again.
"Resume" would have been a better choice!
They quoted the term and defined their meaning in context. They could have used any arbitrary codeword.
Just because "unstop" is most commonly used with regard to plumbing does not mean that the term is exclusive to plumbing.
Counterpoint, messages like these clog my inbox.
It's not the message, it's the word "unstop."
I know, just toying with the metaphor of a clogged drain.
I used to be a bit of a scold about grammar and spelling myself. A lack of style bothers me more nowadays. Everyone should feel welcome to play with our language. It doesn't take a logodaedalus to construct an unglued apothegm, and we are all the richer for it; I am more disappointed by those who don't try.
Oooh, yeah baby. Right there. Unstop!! unstop!!
I gave up getting upset by little things like that years ago. If I can understand the intention of the other person, then it’s not worth nitpicking. Of course I correct my children, but that’s because they are still learning and need the reinforcement.
All that to say, I’m much happier putting my sanity first.
I feel people are very smart and they would fix their writing if they only knew. At the same time, I worry people are not open to external review.
That is not what "unstop" means.
They should of stayed in school! 😏
Don't make me ~~start~~ unstop stabbing.

Unrestart
At least they tell you what it's supposed to mean. My problem with people using language wrong is mostly a lack of clarity and when they sometimes insist there's nothing wrong with it, as if understanding is on the reader
