Usage notes

 * Some authorities proscribe the comparative and superlative forms "more perfect" and "most perfect", on the grounds that perfection is an absolute state.  Nevertheless, graded forms have been in common use in writing for centuries – for instance the Preamble to the United States Constitution, drafted in 1787, describes its goal as "a more perfect Union". In these cases, "more perfect" can mean "closer to perfection", "less imperfect" or "improving upon an already perfect state".

 * OK, my gaffe then to think it was only used in French :-) D.D. 19:37 May 22, 2003 (UTC)

-- "goof-up" struck me as bizarre as a translation for "gaffe" since one usually says simply "gaffe". Goof-up is only used on a very informal register of the language, and for any type of error, whether "public" or not. Gaffe (in English) is usually used for an essentially verbal blunder, mainly in politics and public relations, or any blunder of policy. What is not clear to me about the French term is: is it employed, in an informal register, to describe any error, even non-verbal? in which case "goof-up" (or fuck-up) would apply...

gaffe noun An unintentional act or remark causing embarrassment to its originator; a blunder. ORIGIN early 20th cent.: from French, literally boathook (from Provençal gaf:), used colloquially to mean ‘blunder’.

I'm not a native English speaker, but in "The Wedding of Sarah Jane" TV episode the word seems to be used in the sense of "abode". ''Looking up Peter's gaffe. 120 Christchurch Walk, W4.'' Manfariel (talk) 13:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

square (usage in respect of meals)
My understanding was that this dervied from the fact that naval plates were originally square? Anyone able to confirm this? Sfan00 IMG 16:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be. The OED has "1868 All Year Round 19 Sept. 354/2 Roadside hotel~keepers..calling the miners' attention to their ‘square meals’: by which is meant full meals." SemperBlotto 16:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

square measure
Idiomatic enough? --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

RFV discussion: February–April 2022
Adjective sense 8: “Hearty; vigorous.”

Does this exist outside of the term “square meal”? I note that the etymology of “square meal” states that “this sense of square (originally US) is possibly from the fact that square plates were used to serve food on ships”, but that sounds like the etymology of that particular term deriving from the ordinary sense of “square”, and not the etymology of a different sense of the word “square” in its own right. Theknightwho (talk) 16:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The OED has a more targeted sense: "Of meals: full, solid, substantial. Of a drink: copious; of full measure." — SGconlaw (talk) 18:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * square go can also mean ‘hearty attempt/attack/fight’ in expressions such as he had a square go at him, they had a square go and make a square go of it in Scottish English (and occasionally British English more generally, and New Zealand English). A search for square go on GoogleBooks yields many usable quotes Overlordnat1 (talk) 19:22, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Here are uses of “a square breakfast”:, , . In the last one, the adjective is obviously synonymous with in the sense “substantial”, as in “a decent meal”. The OED’s sense of  is IMO more on the nose than , . I’m suspicious of the square-platter theory. I’m more inclined to see an extension of the sense “honest”, which can also be used in the same sense for a meal: , , . In the last use, the combination with square forms a rhetorical pleonasm.  --Lambiam 22:55, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * That’s true but there are also hits for do a square job and do a square day’s work where square could be interpreted to mean honest but the implication is that this honest job or work is vigorous/hearty, unlike in the examples for adjective sense 4 at square (square deal/man/everything). Also, to have a square go is to vigorously/heartily attack/fight, rather than to have a fair/honest fight, so I think that there is support for the challenged sense (sense 8) of hearty;vigorous on that basis - even if the lines can be blurred between sense 8 and sense 4 at times, depending on context. Overlordnat1 (talk) 01:32, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Interestingly OED glosses "square go" as "a fair fight". I might gloss the impugned sense of square as "decent, substantial". This, that and the other (talk) 10:06, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Consider also the word squarely which presumes the senses of "square" in question to be well-grounded. — Soap — 01:18, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I altered the gloss to "Solid, decent, substantial" and was about to close as RFV-resolved, but there is still only one cite and I feel that we would benefit from having two more for expository purposes, given the uncertainty over the signification of this sense. I would add them myself if I had time. This, that and the other (talk) 09:33, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * Some authorities insist that relative which be used only in non-restrictive clauses (e.g., "I saw Tom's car, which was parked outside his house"), or when it is the object of a preposition placed in front of the pronoun (e.g., "These are the things about which we shall talk", "There were many fish, the biggest of which..."). Non-restrictive clauses are normally set off with a comma or commas. For restrictive clauses (e.g., The song that you just mentioned is better than the later ones), they prefer . But Fowler, who proposed the rule, acknowledged that it was "it would be idle to pretend that it is the practice either of most or of the best writers.". In modern UK usage, The song which you just mentioned is better than the later ones is generally accepted without question.
 * When which (or the other relative pronouns and ) is used as the subject of a relative clause, the verb agrees with the antecedent of the pronoun. Thus, "the thing which is...", "the things which are...", etc.
 * Which is commonly used, sometimes with partitive of, instead of who (the ordinary interrogative pronoun, in the nominative singular or plural) to refer to a person or persons, and corresponding to what of things. Compare "which of us always uses who for people" and "who among us has never used which for a person". Neither "who of us" nor "which among us" is idiomatic.
