| Dec 24, 2018 at 18:16 | comment | added | TimR | RPM = revolutions per minute. The platter spins, and the device can be told at which speed the platter should spin, 33 RPM, 45 RPM, or 78 RPM. Now do you understand? There are three different speeds. My point is that you should not be confused by the phrase "slow speed" even though "act with speed" from my earlier comment means "fast", not "with some unknown speed". | |

| Dec 24, 2018 at 17:44 | comment | added | Dmytro O'Hope | I didn't have that type of music player, so it is difficult to me to get what mean by that | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 13:10 | comment | added | TimR | @DmytroO'Hope Do you understand how with old vinyl recordings that were played on a record player with a tone-arm at the end of which there was a needle, that there were three speeds? 33RPM, 45RPM, and 78RPM, and that "33RPM" was a relatively slow speed and 78RPM was a relatively fast speed? | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 12:58 | comment | added | Dmytro O'Hope | You are right. I understand that too | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 12:36 | comment | added | TimR | @DmytroO'Hope And do you understand the following? "You must act with speed or you will miss the deadline" | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 9:02 | comment | added | Dmytro O'Hope | Yes, I understand that | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 0:12 | comment | added | TimR | @DmytroO'Hope Do you understand what the following means? "Chess is often played at a slow pace, with a single game taking up to six hours". | |
| Dec 23, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | Dmytro O'Hope | I didn't mean it in imperative, I meant "keeping up" | |
| Dec 23, 2018 at 16:26 | comment | added | Michael Harvey | In my job specification: "experienced in delivery of service improvements at pace", | |
| Dec 23, 2018 at 16:04 | comment | added | TimR | @Dmytro O'Hope: At pace means "at a rather brisk tempo". "It's a fast game, played at pace". I have no idea where you're getting an imperative construction from it, "keep up". | |
| Dec 23, 2018 at 13:44 | comment | added | Dmytro O'Hope | I am sorry, but I cannot get it. Does "at pace" mean "keep up the current pace"? | |
