What’s the correct word in “They [pound] on the question.”
Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I often hear my researcher colleagues saying “they [pound] on this question in their paper”, referring to the fact that the authors considered the question but somehow handwaved and dismissed it prematurely. That word sounds like “pound” or “ponged”. What would it be?
