Hello Bi`nh, Hu`ng and folks,

	Cha`, ca'i thread na`y co' ve? interesting ddo' nhi?. 
Su+. kha'c nhau giu+~a PRODUCT (n) va` PRODUCE (n) dda~ 
ddu+o+.c Ian Bui va` Nong Giang no'i ro^`i: PRODUCT 
thu+o+`ng du`ng chi? sa?n pha^?m ve^` co^ng nghie^.p nhu+ 
xe ho+i, ddo^` ddie^.n, va` PRODUCE thu+o+`ng du`ng cho 
sa?n pha^?m no^ng nghie^.p, nhu+ lu'a tho'c, rau ca?i, 
tra'i ca^y vv. 

	Chu+~ PRODUCE co`n la` ddo^.ng tu+`, nhu+ng khi ddo.c 
thi` nha^'n o+? PRO'DUCE, co`n khi danh tu+` thi` nha^'n 
o+? 'PRODUCE. Lo^.n xo^.n tha^.t!!!

	Co`n PRODUCTION (phu+o+ng ca'ch sa?n xua^'t), 
PRODUCTIVE (na(ng sua^'t) va` PRODUCTIVITY (ty? le^. na(ng 
sua^'t) thi` kho?i ba`n, vi` nghia~ no' tu+o+ng ddo^'i 
clear ro^`i.

	Chu+~ REPDROUCIBILITY kho^ng pha?i tu+` ddie^?n na`o 
cu~ng co'. Theo to^i bie^'t thi` chu+~ na`y du`ng trong 
nghie^n cu+'u la^m sa`ng (clinical research) kha' nhie^`u. 
Mo^.t ca'i measurement ddu+o+.c coi la` high 
reproducibility tu+o+ng ddu+o+ng vo+'i nghia~ "chi'nh

ta`ng la` vu+`a vi` no' kho^ng co' ti'nh reproducibility! 
:))

	Co`n ma^'y chu+~ REPRODUCE, REPRODUCTION thi` self-
explanatory.
 	
	Ca^u ho?i anh AiViet ne^u ra ho+i kho', i.e. 
PRODUCTIVENESS and PRODUCTIVITY. Tha^.t ra, hai ca'i 
suffixes "-ITY" va` "-NESS" kho^ng pha?i muo^'n ghe'p cho 
chu+~ na`o cu~ng ddu+o+.c (ngoa`i tru+` ma^'y o^ng Me~o 
la`m tu`m lum he^'t). Cha(?ng ha.n nhu+ trong tie^'ng Anh 
co' INSTRUCTIVE, nhu+ng kho^ng co' "INSTRUCTIVITY", nhu+ng 
REACTIVE -> REACTIVITY. Interesting ho+n nu+~a la` 
RESPONSIVE -> RESPONSIVENESS va` RESPONSIBLE -> 
RESPONSIBILITY! 

	Theo strict A(ng Le^ thi` ca? hai -NESS ddu+o+.c 
ghe'p theo adjectives dde^? chi? ca'i "tra.ng tha'i" 
(state) hay cha^'t lu+o+.ng (quality kho^ng measre 
ddu+o+.c), cha(?ng ha.n nhu+ SADNESS, KINDNESS, HAPPINESS. 
Co`n -ITY cu~ng ddu+o+.c du`ng dde^? chi? state nhu+ng co' 
the^? ddo lu+o+`ng ddu+o+.c RIGIDITY, PRODUCTIVITY, vv va` 
vv. Nhu+ng di~ nhie^n la` su+. pha^n bie^.t na`y VERY 
LOOSE, luo^n luo^n co' ngoa.i le^. (cha(?ng ha.n 
RESPECTABILITY thi` la`m sao measure ddu+o+.c :)). Tuy 
nhie^n to^i chu+a tha^'y ai du`ng "PRODUCTIVENESS" bao 
gio+`.

	Ba'c na`o muo^'n ho.c/xem the^m ve^` vu. lo^.n xo^.n

	Sa(~n dda^y xin ho?i ca'c ba'c pha^n ti'ch cho chu+~

ALGEBRA, ALCOHOL) trong tie^'ng Anh la` xua^'t pha't tu+`
