Is unimpressed the same as under impressed?

Ricochet J · 5 Oct 2006 at 20:07

Likewise, unintentional same as under intentional, as with many other examples?

Thanks! (First thread in ages!)

Unimpressed = not impressed.

Underimpressed = not as impressed as you expected to be/as you would be expected to be.

They are not the same.

Unimpressed means 'not impressed'

Under impressed means 'less impressed than expected'.

Under intentional makes no sense to me, and under impressed is kinda weird too.

Voting no.

'under impressed' means what it says on the tin, which is nothing because its a hardly used modern phrase that's probably American. It suggests that there is a clear threshold level of impression

I cannot think of a single appropriate use for the phrase

Under impressed doesn't make much sense to me. If you aren't as impressed as you expected you'd be, then you'd be dissapointed. Not just less impressed than you thought,

no they are not the same.

can we lock this thread now?
From what I know "under intentional" is not a term unless used in this kind of context (and strangly its the whole of the first page of google links for this)
"Breakdown of the Internet under intentional attack"
ie somthing that is occuring intentionaly
