comment Adjective to describe a task that will take a long time because it's a lot of work and/or a lot of waiting
Thanks for the suggestions. Since you seem to grok the lingo, I'll add the problem is with tasks that should not run on the UI thread. It's bad to block the UI thread for too much time, and it doesn't matter what the reason is.

comment Equivalent expression to Spanish “cutting by the healthy part”
+1 the context of this expression is also to stop something unhealthy before it gets too big. However, I'm not sure it captures the fact of sacrificing something good as a consequence.

comment Is “Did you it?” a valid question?
All grammar aside, be diplomatic in the way you approach your teacher about the results posted here on ESE (if you approach your teacher at all). Being "right" in this case may not mean you will be happy with the consequences.

comment “My hand is paining” or “my hand is hurting”
+1 Having grown up in the US and had the pleasure to have many Indian-born friends, I would never say "my hands are paining" except when I wanted to sound like a chap from India! :)
