Comparative and superlative

 * "Relating to a study of the whole instead of a separation into parts." So if something relates to this more than something else (i.e. not just tangentially), the comparative is appropriate. Equinox ◑ 16:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

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 A.R.. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name A.R.~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.

Appendix talk:English spellings

I don't know that we need to start incorporating spelling reforms for English into the Wiktionary, but I think that it makes sense to have a place to talk about them. Certainly other languages have significant spelling reforms that will affect our content, and there's a remote possibility that certain spelling reforms will affect ours. In any case, this page should be good for pulling together information on various spelling reforms that may or may not affect our content.

Additionally, we will want to outline some policy regarding these spelling variants. A large number of them are used, with varying degrees of acceptability. There are some questions about what qualifies as a "simplified spelling" and what is simply an abbreviation, informal variant, or alternate spelling. Among other things, I think the main criterion should be that the variant follows stronger (less variable) conventions of pronunciation than the standard form (e.g., doughnut -> donut; through -> thru). Alternatively, the simplified form could be shorter, but still follow conventions of pronunciation that are equally strong (e.g., night -> nite; light -> lite). Any simplified spellings must also have the same pronunciation, otherwise they decisively become abbreviations. If the simplified spelling is fully accepted and is more common than the longer version, then we should no longer consider it a "simplified spelling variant," but rather just a full-fledged term with the longer form in the etymology (e.g., colour -> color). Last, but not least, words should meet the normal attestation rules to qualify for an entry (e.g., there's not much precedent for blite instead of blight), and the level of formality/acceptability should be noted on the page, using a usage note where appropriate.

 * the absence of the subjunctive of the present (Konjunktiv I) and the rarity of the genitive case;
 * the splitting of pronominal adverbs (especially in northern and central Germany) and the frequent elision of sentence-initial pronouns (both subject and object);

Talk:douche

Slang Meaning
If somebody is a "douche" or "douchebag" it generally means that the person is mean, cocky, a "tool", a "jerk", etc. Not stupid. I have never heard anybody call somebody a douche because they thought they were stupid. It's always like, "Ryan is such a douchebag for hitting on my girlfriend." Not, "Ryan is a douchebag for failing English."--Atticus2020 20:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think one could apply "stupid" to "hitting on my girlfriend" types of statements. But I see what you are saying.  How would you word it instead?  --Connel MacKenzie T C 20:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Verb Sense
This seems to be missing a verb section; but is it a verb, or is that just colloquial? --Connel MacKenzie 22:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * In my experience, the verb 'to douche' = to use a douche as described in the first noun sense. I suppose it could be colloquial. --Versageek 22:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

firewater

Etymology
A of a Native American language term, probably, from  +. A number of other Algonquian and Siouan languages also refer to whiskey with compounds that mean "fire-water" (on which basis noted Algonquianist Leonard Bloomfield even reconstructed a Proto-Algonquian word for it,, although this could not have existed). The motivation of the name is not entirely clear: It may refer to the “burning” feeling of ingesting high-proof alcohol. Low-quality spirits also often included ingredients such as pepper, tobacco juice, molasses, etc. Alternatively it may refer to the flammability of alcohol.

Non-alcohol-related senses are simply.

Noun

 * 1)  High-proof alcohol, especially whiskey.

I was born in New Jersey in 1950 and have a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. I live in Bethesda, Maryland and work in a large naval hospital in this city, National Naval Medical Center.

I am a citizen of both the United States and Italy. I have built a small house, called Casale, in Valle San Giovanni, a suburb (frazione) of the city of Teramo in Italy's Abruzzo region. I return there fairly often for visits.

I am working with a kind gentleman from Teramo, Lucio De Marcellis, on Wikipedia articles for Teramo and its surrounding communes. Part of this work involves translating information from Italian to English.

get one's knickers in a twist

Verb

 * 1)  To become overwrought or unnecessarily upset over a trivial matter.

Usage notes
This is one of the most variable of all expressions, as the familiar rhythm carries the meaning regardless of the individual words used.

Undergarments ranging from gussets to diapers will work, though the most commonly used are women's undergarments, especially and its synonyms, even when the addressee is a man. Given the right context, even this rule is not steadfast; a children's book and a line from a children's TV show both used the phrase don't get your tutu in a twist.

Likewise the word at the end can be anything similar in meaning to bundle; twist; knot; wad.

 * Finnish: vetää herne nenään
 * French: avoir ses bobettes dans un tapon, slaquer ses bobettes

Talk:defeater
