discuss about, 그 한 마디의 무게

We discussed about the issue. "라는 문장을 볼 때마다 저는 " We discussed the issue. "로 바로잡고 싶어집니다. discuss는 타동사라 about가 불필요하며, 그 한 단어가 들어가면 의미가 흐려지고 독자가 잠시 멈칫하게 됩니다. 새벽에 계약서나 보고서를 번역할 때 이런 작은 차이가 누적되면 전체 뉘앙스가 달라지는 경우를 자주 보게 되거든요.

ngl in contracts or reports that precision point holds up but outside those cases discuss about shows up everywhere and still lands fine for most people. just say it and move on.

ngl in contracts that extra word can shift the vibe but fr most native speakers say discuss about every day and it still lands fine. output beats the textbook on this one.

맞아요, discuss about이라고 해도 뜻이 통하니까 그냥 말하는 게 낫죠 ㅠㅠ 저도 문법 때문에 자꾸 주저하다가 기회만 놓치거든요.

This matches the band 8 criterion for grammatical accuracy exactly. Removing the extra preposition keeps the register formal and prevents the slight shift in meaning that shows up in reports or contracts. Once learners internalize the transitive pattern it stays corrected across word counts and task types.

That correction is spot on because discuss is transitive and the added preposition shifts register in formal texts. In band 8 writing tasks even one preposition error can drop coherence scores when the nuance changes under a contract or report. Correcting it early keeps the meaning stable across repeated uses.

The transitive status of "discuss" is fixed in standard usage guides, so the added preposition alters both grammar and register in any formal text. That single correction therefore prevents the repeated meaning shift the comment describes.
