I use it all the time. I'm an engineer though so it doesn't really counteract what you're saying.

[-] SleepingLesson@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Contradict.

Counteract is also valid.

This is a counteraction.

Counteract means to oppose something to reduce its effect. Contradict means to say or do something opposite or inconsistent with something else.

Note how they are not mutually exclusive

[-] macaroni1556@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Perfect, I can now use any word thats not mutually exclusive completely dependently (interchangeably) and be appreciated (understood)

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
