There is semantic sloppiness in using "lets" to mean "enables". Likewise, using "permits" or "allows" is sloppy. They all refer to giving permission for or authorizing an action. For actively making something possible, "enable" is the clear word. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
