1) Is it correct to say "INDUSTRIAL world" or should I say "INDUSTRIALISED world" ?
The latter one, at least in my knowledge.
2) Is there a difference between "underfed" and "undernourished" ?
Fed is food, but nourish carries more, like vitamine...plus necessary medicine
3) Is it better to say "Experts" than "specialists" of / from / at the MIT? Is there a difference between them ?
Experts is an offical rank, but specialists is less important, the latter is near professional but not true expert.
4) Let's suppose the MIT was called "the Institute of Technology" would we say OF Massachusetts or IN Massachusetts.
Like Yale, the place name itself added to the culture of the school, it is interity, not just a place or name.
5) Is it incorrect to translate "aborder ce problème" by "deal with the problem"? What's the difference ?
go on the problem or be close to the problem is better, since aborder is the deriv. of border which means the division line btw the two.
