Aside from being in use in proper nouns and parts of proper nouns, and occasional references to a type of tree, the only English reference I can find for this term is in a Middle English work Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (where it seems to function as a noun as often as an adjective, and the meaning isn't especially clear from context). I can't find any modern reference to the English adjective sense. --Dajagr 21:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think this is all right. Yes, it's been obsolete for a long time, but it crops up quite a lot in Gawain as you say, and also some otehr early modern stuff.  You're right, it can also be a noun.  I've expanded the entry a bit.  Widsith 07:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

'Theatre' as 'Operating room'
Note the use of the word 'theatre' in this BBC article: "The WHO says power is needed to operate services including theatres, babies' incubators and fridges for vaccines." There seems to be no definition here at Wiktionary that covers it. From the context, it appears that this may be British usage for which Americans would use "operating room."

Use of "theatre" in US is obsolesced

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Yanksox. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Yanksox~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:no score

Technically incorrect? Howso? It means simply that no points have been scored. --Connel MacKenzie 20:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Incorrect because there actually is a score, 0-0. bd2412 T 21:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I also disagree with the usage note. If I say a worthless item has "no value", that's perfectly idiomatic and normal, even though you could argue it has a value of precisely nil. Can we remove the note? Equinox ◑ 22:17, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The note reflects a phenomenon that, IMO, belongs at no (or Adjective). Other nouns with which no has the same meaning (or usage note), besides score and value, include rank, status, weight, mass, quality. Does that fit with "not any", a definition of no? All of these nouns are used both quantitatively and more-or-less qualitatively or categorically. Eg, An idea has no mass or speed., Some games have no score: they are not competitive..
 * I certainly favor removing this usage note. I think a usage note may be beneficial at no. There are probably other words that have this kind of difference between qualitative/categorical and quantitative interpretation, as I seem to remember coming across this before. Analogous situations have created specialized "technical" definitions for terms like not, or, and. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * For now, I have just added a usage example at no#Determiner. This seems SoP to me. DCDuring TALK 15:14, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:eon

lets take a vote... can eon be used as an adjective? enoic... "our relationship has such eonic density."

 * Looking at http://books.google.com/books?q=eonic&as_brr=0&hl=en I'd have to say that no, that doesn't seem to meet WT:CFI. There are proper noun references to a company named "Eonic" an a plethora of scanning errors/scan-o-s of the hyphenated "Napol-eonic."   I saw only one misuse that used "eonic" as you describe (but I looked quickly.)  --Connel MacKenzie 20:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:stadia

Plural noun header
Is there a need for the header Plural noun? Many articles (like radishes) are plurals, but use the header Noun. I agree, stadia is an irregular plural, but does that justify a special header? By the way, how many times does Plural noun occur in the English Wiktionary?

 * All over the place; there is even a template specifically for plural nouns! As far as I know, it is what one is meant to do. By the way, please sign your comments on talk pages and other discussion fora with four tildes (4~). Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 09:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Nota bene: following entry format reforms, both singular and plural nouns are now included under ===Noun=== headers as standard. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 00:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

What kinds of plural?
Why does the second definition state that stadia is the “[p]lural form of ”, whilst the third definition states that stadia is the “[i]rregular plural form of ”? Stadia is clearly an irregular plural of both stadion and stadium — however, that is obvious, and does not need stating in a definition line which could mislead readers into inferring proscription. I believe both definitions should use the template; however, more important than which template they should use is that they use the same template. Unless anyone has any objections, I’ll change both definitions to use, but I’ll ensure this page remains in Category:English irregular plurals by adding the category thereto. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 00:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Wow. I should get in the habit of checking for talk page entries now that they are starting to get used.  I encountered this page during routine heading cleanup.  AFAIK, "===Plural noun===" has never been a valid heading on en.wiktionary.org; I think the question above (or the answer to it) confused headings and templates.

 * When I cleaned this entry up, I only tagged one as irregular as a result of checking the targets and seeing that stadion has only this as its plural. While the "Latinate" plural for stadium clearly exists, it just as clearly is less common than the regularly formed plural.  Rather than emphasize that, though, you perhaps are right; both should simply be listed as irregular.  I'll correct that oversight now.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * P.S. Synonyms were also missing. --Connel MacKenzie 05:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Comparing b.g.c. shows a 4 to 3 ratio in favor (surprisingly) of stadia. Regular www.google.com hits show quite the opposite - 3.5 to 0.6 in favor of "stadiums".  The image.google and news.google results also favor "stadiums" by an order of magnitude.  This entry for "stadia" should probably indicate that it is used only in formal writing (prescription gone awry.)  --Connel MacKenzie 05:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, I don’t know how valid a heading it was, but it was certainly valid enough to be the header given in the entry template one was given when he clicked the “Plural” button on this sort of page. There’s no need to use the nocap=true parameter of the template, as  exists (and now autocategorises a page into Category:English irregular plurals); I’ve replaced your circumencypherments therewith. Lack of synonyms noted; thanks for correcting that. (Please note the correct format therefor.) Best to discuss the usage of the plurals at the singular entry (as there are two of the former); I’ll go add a usage note mentioning the preference for stadia in formal writing and the preference for stadiums in other contexts to the entry for stadium. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 23:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess that's why it is called scope-creep. (I usually let AF handle that, but thank you.)  Note that "#" is only used at the beginning of a line in definition sections.  Any time that appears in a =synonyms= section, it is an error.  --Connel MacKenzie 23:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Thinking about it, a bullet does look better; the standard be damned! †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 23:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * What standard are you referring to? --Connel MacKenzie 23:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Inferred common practice. Not really a standard I guess. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 23:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Whew. Glad to hear there isn't something out there that directly conflicts with WT:ELE.  The statistics depend upon this (only using that assumption, because ELE is so explicit about it.)
 * By the way, were you planning on adding a usage note at "stadiums?" That hasn't been bot-entered yet - probably worthwhile to enter it manually if a usage note is desired.  --Connel MacKenzie 00:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The usage note is given at stadium. Both stadia and stadiums now refer the reader thither. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 00:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks good. Thanks again.  --Connel MacKenzie 00:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * You’re welcome. I’m not too fond of “ irregular plural form of” definitions, as I think that they can mislead readers. However, consistency is the most important thing at the moment. Whether such definitions ought to be used is a debate for another time, methinks. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 00:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Surveying
I have Wolf&Ghilani 11th ed. and the way they use the word "stadia", it's not clear what exactly a stadia is, or whether the word is singular or plural. "Stadia can also be applied", "the stadia method", "stadia radiation", "stadia hairs", but never "the stadia" or "a stadia" without a following noun. The rod is just called "the rod", and the term "stadia" is used only in the sense of measuring horizontal distance by sighting a vertical rod. It looks like the sense was transferred from the military sense, and a stadia is therefore a telescope with stadia hairs, not a leveling rod. PierreAbbat 16:07, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:hoodie

who wears them?
Who wears them is completely irrelivant in a dictionary definition.

Where I'm from, you will find both males & females wearing these, not mostly males.

Origin of the term
When I was growing up in the 1980's, I never heard the term "hoodie" (the things that now have that name were called "hooded sweatshirts"). While the nickname is a fairly obvious one, it seems to me that there must have been some event, perhaps a popular movie movie or song, or an interview with a celebrity, that included the term which made it suddenly ubiquitous. Does anybody know when and where this happened?

The earliest mention I can find on-line is from someone's college project on slang from 1998, but I don't think the term got common until some time later. --Psiphiorg 00:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I recall it being called that in the early 90s and I think the late 80s. Searching the term returns an astonishing number of archaic texts that used the meaning "hoodlum" from the 18th and 19th century.  Wikipedia's earliest related reference is only Boyz-N-The-Hood (song), from 1988.  --Connel MacKenzie 09:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) To obtain from something else.  For instance (from Wiktionary's definition of Idiomaticity): An expression is “idiomatic” if its full meaning cannot be easily derived from the meaning of its separate components.

From RFC
The definitions are a bit vague, some example sentences would do good. I often have this problem. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to create a new template in the style of just for this purpose? henne 09:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Indeed, I had seen WT:TTBC before, but forgotten about it. But as you see, it isn’t very active and organised.  I would propose it be treated in a similar manner as this page and WT:RFD, and a similar template.  That way, the page would become more useful.  Also, it is much easier to insert  than to browse to that page and add an entry... henne 16:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I dunno. I'm becoming more enamored with specific cleanup tags these days.  Example sentences are only one tiny portion of the WT:COW efforts.  A separate indication somewhere, that just clearer examples are needed seems like it could be useful.  And henne did say this is a common problem.  Offhand, I'm inclined to agree.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:impact

The previous verb definitions, while they are indeed gaining widespread acceptance, are highly problematic. Just because something has a long history of widespread usage doesn't make it English; see e.g. "there" meaning "their", "should of" meaning "should have", "could care less" meaning "couldn't care less", etc. The older, and only non-controversial, use of impact as a verb is the meaning I have added: "to compact or compress", as in teeth, feces, soil, etc. I am adding a definition for "impaction" as well. (I'm not trying to be a prescriptivist prick about this, but I really think that the use of "impact" in place of "affect" is a weasel word on par with "attrit" meaning "reduce by attrition"; it's an invention of pundits and salesmen.) --Mrnorwood 14:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Television has the ability to decrease literacy and to increase error. It decreases literacy by distracting people away from written material. It increases error because it provides a widespread model of speech or behavior which is quickly and widely imitated. In the late 1970s, various words that were used by information technicians began to spread to the general public. Such words were online, front end, multitasking, crash, and impact. Since many people hadn't seen the difference between the spelling of the words affect and effect in print, due to their low interest in reading, they were not able to tell the difference between the two. "Impact" became a substitute for "affect" and "effect" and was used by people who appeared on television. This rapidly led to its widespread use. Today, hardly anyone uses the words "affect" and "effect." If they do use them, they are frequently used incorrectly. They have been replaced by "impact."Lestrade 22:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

 * I completely disagree. --Connel MacKenzie 22:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Do you completely disagree that impact is commonly used as a substitute for both affect and effect?Lestrade 01:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

 * Commonly? Yes, I completely disagree.  A few select idiots does not mean something is widespread.  --Connel MacKenzie 21:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Lestrade. I work with various Federal government agencies, and I see many well-educated persons misusing the word 'impact' in the way Lestrade describes. Hardly anyone uses the words 'affect' or 'effect' today. The colloquial definition should probably stay, although its use bothers me. Hildenja 18:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage, which has actually done research on this issue rather than just spouting opinions, says that the origin of "impact" used to mean "affect" or "effect" is literary, and gives examples from Christopher Morley and the Times Literary Supplement -- sources that can hardly be called illiterate or television-related. This origin should not be surprising, since figurative language is common in literature, and is usually not remarked on.

What happened is that a perfectly respectable usage of a word, created by a standard linguistic procedure, became associated with politicians and business, and other people started avoiding it. People then invented explanations about how it arose in order to cast aspersions on those who use it. But other quotes in the MWDE are from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Google News returns 200,000 hits for "impact", and scrolling through the pages you can see that most of the uses are the figurative use, and they come from diverse newspapers from numerous English speaking countries. The idea that this use is confined to "a few select idiots", or that it is a mistake similar to a spelling error, is demonstrably wrong.

All of this has no place in a dictionary, though. The label "colloquial" seems to have been attached so that somebody could present their POV about the word, but it is a real use of a real word, not confined to illiterates, and it should appear in any dictionary of English.

• The misuse I hear most often is the TV weatherman saying, "Tampa will be im-pact'-ed by the tropical storm." In my culture, the accent on the first syllable means "affected by" and the accent on the second syllable means to have an obstructed bowel. - Hearne 2/2009

 * According to WT:CFI, a long history of widespread usage does in fact mean it should be included--Simplificationalizer (talk) 21:10, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree with Simplificationalizer in that the use should stay. Language does evolve and this has, unfortunately, come into widespread usage. However I believe it should still remain proscribed. But usage becoming common due to ignorance of what was the current correct correct grammar and misuse should be resisted.

I disagree however with what happened. It was not a perfectly acceptable usage. As of the 1970 OED its only usage was as a verb with the striking usage listed first as more common, especially with respect to momentum, and the press firmly usage as second and older. The affecting usage was not listed. Only impaction and impactment were shown as nouns. Its usage as a replacement for affect first came about in the early second half of the 20th century. Although there might have been a figurative use or two in respectable publications, it came to be used more commonly not due to this but from misuse and laziness with the ability to discern between affect and effect. I first heard it used this way in 2000 when it was consistently misused by one supposedly educated person (PhD, school principal) and it was a nail on the blackboard every time the person said it. Since then it has become more and more common and so should stay.

I changed the order of the definitions to show OED's order of common usage and left the affect usage at the end since it should still be proscribed. I reordered the translations to match. I added another rarer definition. I changed the example sentence for the compact usage since the prior "impacted stool" example showed the word as an adjective.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere.

One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Constellation. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Constellation~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
