Tip of the Day
suffer not mean 'lacking'
suffer means 'having a defect' or 'have some bad' . If someone says that "suffers from stinginess" or another who "suffers from migraine," which wants to be understood is that the former has the defect of stinginess and the second suffers from some type of headache.
However, suffer some media used in the sense of 'lacking', "Aznar said that the EU suffers from leadership", "Kenya lacks the necessary cohesion for the deep tribal divisions": "Our city is rich in artists, but has left room» . However
suffer not mean 'lacking', as in these examples, although what was meant was that the EU, Kenya and the city are missing, respectively, leadership, cohesion and rooms, which was was really saying something quite different: that the fact that the EU has leadership, cohesion and Kenya have city halls is a defect.
is recommended, therefore, always avoid this suffer employment with the sense of 'not having' something and use it only when you want to say 'having a bad' or 'have a defect. "
