Appropriate ?

Nice one!

I have looked at these before and could never figure them out. I am looking at these last few that are posted and I still cannot figure it out.
Can you explain, for us simple minded country bumpkins, how “pinch fitting” becomes “appropriate”?
Maybe I need to work on my vocabulary

This clue (and my previous one) are what is called "double definition".
Two definitions of homonyms (words spelled the same but maybe with different meanings).
So in this case, pinch >> steal >> appropriate (verb) and
fitting >> suitable >> appropriate (adj).
There are many other forms of cryptic clues, involving things like anagrams and other trickery.

This instance is a homograph. Spelled the same pronounced differently.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Indeed, and according to my references homographs are a subset of homonyms.
I plead decaffeination!

Now that you spelt it out, I can see it. Very clever, but probably still way over my head. I will continue to try and figure them out, but I will not hold my breath on it actually working.
Thanks for the explanation.

After unpleasant experience win "new and improved" version of Ubuntu, I am back "experimenting" with Linux / Ubuntu recovery mode.
So far I have this link
Mastering Recovery and Rescue Mode in Ubuntu | FOSS Linux[^]
It tells nothing new, and I am looking for a resource actually describing what Linux does when in "recovery mode". Especially when the process stops and there in no instruction on how to proceed / restart.
Most of the time I end with "three fingers salute" and it generally reboots and I can start over.
I have some shots of the failures, unfortunately I have no clue how to post them here.
I am familiar using dmesg and wondering if there is way to do same when the "recovery mode" is abandoned using reboot.
Thanks for reading.

Well, since this forum is aimed at developers (mostly Windows), you would probably do better in the Ubuntu forums.
I see this on one:
Quote: What is the use of recovery mode options?
There are a total of 8 options:
resume: Resumes to the normal boot with the selected kernel.
clean: As the name suggests, it is used to free up some storage space.
dpkg: If you installed a package and due to some reason, it wasn't installed properly, or is broken and your system is malfunctioning, then, you can use this option.
fsck: It will perform an intensive file check on your drives and attempt to solve if found any.
grub: Update the grub config file.
network: Activates the internet so you can perform all the operations like updating packages, or upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu, etc.
root: Drops you in the root shell with all the privileges you would ever need to modify or troubleshoot the system.
system-summary: Prints system information including partitions, RAM, network config, and more.
You can also use it for forgotten password.
Personally, running debian, I use a live CD/USB when I screw things up. I also use a free imaging program to back my system up.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate that. Unfortunately that is not what I am asking.
You did describe the recovery options, I am asking what to do when ANY of these options STOPS posting "progress messages".
There is one and it is pretty clear
...to continue ... press...
...to stop... press "enter"
Some messages get stopped in
...timed out... doing whatever
Anyway - I need to find a way to convert these messages to text and post them here...

Like I said, this is probably not the best forum for that.
