Talk:father

Definition 5
Definition 5 looks incorrect. It should be “he was LIKE a father to me”, not “he was a father to me”. also, this way this definition stops being valid, thoughts?

 * Your change would invalidate the definition, yes, but it's correct as written. It's like saying "we are all brothers in this religion". Not literal brothers. A different sense of word. Equinox ◑ 03:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Etymology: Oldest record of pater
Please correct me if I am wrong but we have a fact here which it should be in the etymology section. The fact is that the oldest attested record for father is the Mycenaean Greek pa-te' πατήρ (pater). Why then does a hypothesis ("Proto-Germanic *fader, Proto-Indo-European *p@ter") takes the place of the fact? Kassios 12:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Because Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European is not a hypothesis but a solidly established theory (essentially a fact, just like dinosaurs), and Greek is not a direct ancestor of English father (nor of Latin pater), so if anything, Mycenaean Greek is the oldest attestation of the Indo-European etymon going back to Proto-Indo-European *ph₂tḗr. Also, the Vedic attestation (even if indirect) at least rivals the Greek one in age. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

RfD discussion for possessive form ()

No reason to keep that a johnny-foreigner-me can see. --Duncan 14:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete; neither the possessive nor the contraction is a special case. Equinox 15:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete and modify adjacent words' calls to refer to   rather than to  . (That will work, right?)—msh210  ℠  19:03, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Probable Delete, but can anyone explain why we accept simple plurals (e.g. fathers) but not simple possessives? SemperBlotto 08:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * See the pertinent section of the CFI, as well as the explanation therefor. The technical argument is that the possessive “word chunks” (<’s> usually, but <’> after some terminal esses (usually sounded as )) are not suffixes but rather enclitics, added to mark the possessive of an entire noun phrase, not just a single word in it, and so, therefore, there is no “word” to speak of when we speak of the coöccurrence of +  as ʀ. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 14:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I would say because a plural is a "word in itself" (lexeme or something?) and may be irregular (children, cacti) or non-existent (arguably rice), whereas the possessive suffix is pretty much standard and can be tacked onto anything. For me it's a similar argument to that against the French s'en, m'a, etc. we had a while ago (though few enough agreed with me on that!). Equinox 11:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Why TH if in ME is D?--Manfariel (talk) 01:23, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:communal understanding

Discussion moved from Requests for deletion

 * communal understanding — appears to be a private theory of User:Ourcivilisation, who's imposed it on other articles before (e.g. Civilization, which has been updated but still has his links; Conversation which has been fixed; multiculturalism; culture; etc.) A lot of his contributions seem rather POV (e.g. multiculturalism) and need cleanup in general, but I don't think communal understanding as a term meets the criteria for inclusion — the first page of Google hits are the Wiktionary page, the user's homepages, and several non-specialized uses where it is just communal + understanding.  Or is this a little-used standard term? —Muke Tever 17:02, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree--this entry does not appear to be a legitimate English term. RSvK 17:22, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
 * The term itself is perfectly good English. The first sentence comes close to the correct meaning, but the rest of it does go off into an idiosyncratic direction.  I support keeping a revised first sentence, removing the rest, and adding quotations to show how the term is used in other contexts.  Eclecticology 20:09, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying it's not good English — just that it may not be a compound word that needs its own entry. Kind of like making an entry for broken chair, does it have a meaning above the sum of its parts—for anyone other than the user who posted it?  —Muke Tever 04:16, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
 * It doesn't even need to be a compound word. It's enough that it be an expression that's greater than the sum of its parts.  Just quick Googling about I found
 * "The Baltimore Symphony plays magnificently, with a degree of precision and communal understanding of the music that is rare indeed." from the Stereophile magazine website.
 * "Music is a universal language central to every culture of the world. It has been used to entertain, communicate, educate, inspire, and instill a sense of social and communal understanding." from http://www.intelli-tunes.com/music.htm a site about using music to help children to learn.
 * "Because Indians embraced a communal understanding of property, they had developed no sense of the concepts that comprised the heart of Americans' private law: torts, contracts, property, and commercial law." from the article Law and Society published by the Lincoln Library. The meaning in this one seems quite different from that in the first two.
 * Music, education and law for starters, a broad range of topics. Dealing with phrases of this sort is what lexicography is all about.  Eclecticology 07:46, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I've generally revised the article. It should be better now. Eclecticology 01:06, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I might have misspoken... what I mean by a "compound word" is an expression that is greater than the sum of its parts, an expression used idiomatically. Red light (=stoplight, whatever color it happens to be) and crown prince (=heir to a throne) are examples of idiomatic expressions, while broken chair and upside-down sign aren't.  In these examples I don't see any idiomatic use of communal understanding; it just looks like an understanding that happens to be communal—your second example even pairs it with a second adjective, social, implying that communal isn't felt any more closely connected with it than social.  —Muke Tever 02:25, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * The question of whether "communal understnding" is an expression with an independent meaning could keep us wrangling for a long time without accomplishing anything. The important thing in the request for deletion was that it represented somebody's pet theory, and that has been fixed.  I very much feel that if there is serious doubt about whether somethiong should be kept, keeping should be given the benefit of the doubt.  Eclecticology 06:42, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * May I quote you on that?
 * While I'm not deeply offended by this term getting its own entry, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting going on here. None of these senses turns up anything idiomatic, particularly in the last case, in which the definition was evidently derived from a single usage of the term entirely from context and knowledge of the component parts.
 * It's entirely ordinary for a combination of words (or even an inflected word) to mean different things in different contexts. The two senses here derive from two different analyses: understanding as a community and understanding by a community.  These in turn just stem from two different senses of communal.  Move along ... nothing to see here. -dmh 21:46, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Usage notes
Senses of decimate other than "to reduce by one in ten" are occasionally proscribed but "to devastate" has now become a more common usage. The sense "to reduce to one in ten" is etymologically unsound and omitted by the Oxford English Dictionary but increasingly common.

Talk:decimate

When everyone misuses a word the same way, it's not misuse. Usage changes. We may as well say that scale is being misused in this entry to refer to size and not to a ladder. I have my own pet peeves -- I prefer to say in a moment when many would say momentarily, but the new usage appears to be gaining ground steadily. -dmh 03:57, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * On the face of it a fair point, but who are "everyone"? I assume you mean a large number of people, or even perhaps you assume the majority.  I too have noticed that many people use the phrase "to be pacific" when they mean "to be specific" but this lazy use of language has not yet made it a new alternative meaning for pacific.  Perhaps the reason is that, unlike decimate it has not made it to print.  Yet should we be so ignorant to believe that if it is printed is carriies more weight?  Your example of in a moment is acceptable as it is an idiom rather than a total perversion of meaining.  I can at least vouch for many well read people who wince at the use of decimate incorrectly and being a pedantic old fart I agree with them.  However, what really irritates me is the use of "haitch" for the letter aitch.  One strange argument I met was that it should start with the same sound as the letter, well I suppose that means "wubble-ewe" comes after V? :) Dainamo 22:35, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Using your example as an example, this might be a UK/US English issue. In British English, 'momentarily' means 'for a moment', not 'in a moment". This is why British passengers look disconcerted when American pilots say they will be taking off momentarily, when the passengers had been planning quite a long flight. Back on the subject of 'decimate', the original Roman usage is more common in the UK than in the US, especially in the sense of to deliver a severe, but essentially symbolic, punishment. I don't believe we can rush to 'obsolete' just yet. On the subject of the confusion between the meanings, I note that the quote from Adrian Goldsworthy is in the wrong section. He is using 'decimate' in the meaning of (5) To reduce severely, and says that Caesar had to be persuaded to execute only one in ten, in the sense of (1) (OsmNacht (talk) 13:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)) I have now made this changeOsmNacht (talk) 16:48, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

original
I don't see this mentioned so: decimate originally referred to the Roman practice of punishing a (roman) army unit, such as a legion, by killing one tenth of its men. I would say that the 'to reduce by one-tenth' meaning is not "obsolete" but "archaic"Pedant 00:39, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * What would be the distinction? We're currently a bit weak on designations like rare, obsolete, archaic etc.  I'm certainly open to suggestions.  I'm favoring obsolete here in an effort to discourage use.  -dmh 03:39, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

=
================================ The following Usage notes are inappropriate and have been deleted; it has long been accepted that the function of an English _dictionary_ is to record usage, not to lay down the law on what is "correct" and "incorrect". The rest of the entry adequately documents that "reduce by one-tenth" is rarely meant.

"The definition reduce by one in ten is occasionally cited as "the correct" definition, with severely reduce considered a "misconception". While the second is doubtless based on the re-analysis that deci- refers to dividing by ten and not to eliminating a tenth, it is nonetheless the current usage, and has been for centuries.  If you use decimate in the first sense in general writing, expect to be misunderstood." Dec2004

 * I've restored the deleted material, which was the result of several rounds of discussion. In slow motion:

The definition reduce by one in ten is occasionally cited as "the correct" definition, with severely reduce considered a "misconception".

 * Which seems like a perfectly good description of what people say about this term: some insist it's incorrect, etc.

While the second is doubtless based on the re-analysis that deci- refers to dividing by ten and not to eliminating a tenth,

 * This seems a perfectly good conjecture based on available evidence, and is marked as such.

it is nonetheless the current usage, and has been for centuries.

 * Also perfectly correct, descriptive, uncontroversial, and not redundant with the material on BNC.

If you use decimate in the first sense in general writing, expect to be misunderstood.

 * This is probably the "inappropriate" part. It doesn't take a stand on what is correct or incorrect, it merely says that the historically correct sense is likely to be misunderstood.

 * If you would like to take issue with any of this, please do so. But please don't summarily delete material. -dmh 06:20, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Citation of dictionary definition
I note that one of the cites for "reduce by one-tenth" is from a dictionary of Middle English. While this does lend plausibility to the definition, it's not a proper citation, since it's a mention, not a use. OTOH, there's precious little documentation for this sense (neither literal execution nor the more modern senses), so I'm reluctant just to delete it. Thoughts -dmh 18:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Usage concern
I agree that dictionaries record usage and are not proscriptive. HOWEVER, there are still quite a few (educated, elite) people who wince with the "misuse" of the word decimate. AS recently as 40 years ago, the majority of usage experts felt that equated the word to destroy was incorrect and one quarter STILL DO. (source NYT, Google it).

My point is NOT to say that the "misuse" is "misuse" and you should get your hands slapped. But that a significant number of readers still are taken aback by what they see as misuse of the term. This is an IMPORTANT usage note, in and of itself...just as the slowly changing usage is.

Given, this incomplete conversion, MANY editors (source: all those I've talked to) will AVOID using the "new" meaning, given that the "correctness" is at least still in question. In this sense, dictionaries are probably more cutting edge than newspapers or journals. However, a dictionary with DEEP discussion of usage (and not just hand slap fights) will note this issue in the detail that I've described.

'commonest' as quoted by Cambridge Guide to English Usage
In the article the line reads "...nowadays the commonest use of the word in both British and American English...", does the Cambridge Guide actually quote it like that word for word? As the word "commonest" is considered to be improper, incorrect, or commonly misused by wikitonary, refer http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/commonest. Does someone have a copy of the Guide to check? Pmi25 07:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * moved new top post to bottom. DCDuring Holiday Greetings! 02:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * "commonest" is fairly widely used in edited works. My guess is that the proscription against it is connected to the potential confusion between commoner and commoner. Avoiding such confusions is one of the principles of good usage. Extending the proscription to "commonest" does not have the same justification, but could be intended to make users less likely to perpetrate the other confusion.

Talk:commons

I don't recognise this sense. Is it meant to be the adjective "common" (as in "for the common good") instead? — Paul G 10:19, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * No, "common" has use as a noun (see commons). However on this page it should be marked as a plural of common and/or rewrite the definition to define the collective sense "the commons" (as in tragedy of the commons). —Muke Tever 18:15, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * So common can also be a noun? Guaka 15:56, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes—and its definition is the definition that is on this page. —Muke Tever 18:08, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Ok :) I've copied it over to there. But what could be a good definition of commons? Guaka 20:03, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Can commons be singular?

 * The commons is ...
 * The commons are ...

Which is right?

Then tell us what is right for Wikimedia Commons!

P.S. the dictionary cited lists it only as a plural! Wnt 22:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Why is Finnish again link?! Earlier decisition was: don't use linking with meta words (common language names, "noun", "verb" ect). What does this "Finnish # Noun" mean?! Should we mark Finnish nouns with this? How should we mark verbs, adjectives? Any information how to continue editing?! I am confused about what to do because where are no clear _rules_ how to construct multilingual system... Aulis Eskola 15:46, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * It's just a mistake, and a pretty misleading one at that.
 * The point of linking language names is to link to the definition of the language for people that don't know about it (and the point of adding #Noun is to link directly to the section that defines it — which is a mistake in Finnish itself, because "Finnish" is a proper noun). But Finnish is a known-enough language name to not be linked here, so I removed the link.
 * The point of these templates is that some people want to make it easier to copy =Translations= sections across wiktionaries, but don't know their native names for the individual languages (or don't want to do the work of rewriting them), so instead of writing  *Finnish: hukka , they'd write  : hukka . —Muke Tever 18:23, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
