Something has been stretched if it has been pulled out of shape by some force. This force has caused the thing to lengthen or widen in some way. Often, things in this condition are structurally damaged in some way. Stretched more stretched stretched most stretched Stretched http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString A collection of collections. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r1INipnSxEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">DeviceTypeByDamage</a> are collections of devices that each have a similar type of damage.
