User:General Wesc

Etymology
'Wesc' originates from the acronym from Luca Master's Worms team consisting of four team members: Interestingly, these four names were typically all upper-case, however the acronym 'Wesc' has always been capitalised as an ordinary proper noun.
 * Well I Never!!!
 * Epsalt the Dippy
 * Some-One Else
 * Chemical Burn

'General' refers to the fact that it is essentially Luca Masters, the leader of the team of worms.

Use of the name 'General Wesc' probably began in late 1998, replacing the pseudonym 'Some-One Else'. Usenet posts using the name date to midnight, December 12, 1998.

Though still in common use, over the past couple years the name has slowly been replaced to some extent by the proper noun 'Luca Masters' or the initials 'LKBM' (Luca Kaceem Butler Masters).

Proper noun
General Wesc
 * 1) The pseudonym of one Luca Kaceem Butler Masters.

Alternate spellings

 * Rarely seen using other ranks (Private, Commander).
 * Appears as 'General Wesk' in a very small number of instances.

αὐτός

Etymology
According to Beekes, from + ; compare 🇨🇬. Risch derives it from the Ancient Greek reflexes of those words,. Related to 🇨🇬, thus probably representing a common innovation.

Pronoun

 * first/second declension

 * 1)  self
 * 2)  himself, herself, itself, themselves
 * 3)  by or in itself
 * 4)  he, she, it, they
 * 5)  same
 * 1)  same

Usage notes
The intended sense of αὐτός is generally defined by its grammatical context. When used as a lone nominal without an article, it is generally the third person personal pronoun. When appended to a nominal and not possessing the definite article it is "self". When combined with the definite article, either appended to a nominal or on its own, it is "same".

The neuter plural (derived from τὰ αὐτά by ) is distinguished from  "these things" by the accent placement. The two sometimes occur together:

Talk:ἄνθρωπος

Declination
I put in a conjugation table, but couldn't be sure what the accentation was on some forms, so I left them without, and simply assumed a standard second declension. And I couldn't find a plural vocative form (admittedly, I don't know if such a thing actually exists). Cerealkiller13 22:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * ἄνθρωπος is indeed a standard second declension noun. For the paradigm, the plural vocative always is identical to the plural nominative. Medellia 08:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Beekes
Why do we bother to mention Beekes theory on ἄνθρωπος when we have several Greek words having the -ὤψ component e.g. σκυδρός + ὤψ = σκυθρωπός, αρρέν + ὤψ = αρρενωπός and so on? Fkitselis 20:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Relation to Sanskrit
Maybe is it interesting to notice that Sanskrit has andhra = man of a low caste, which seems to derive from the same PIE root cited in the article, that is *n̥dʰreh₃kʷó- (“that which is below”).

अन्ध्र 	andhra 	m. man of a low caste

Possible alternative etymology
I have seen a possibly meaningfull alternative - or additional - etimolgy for 'anthropos' in the article Word Meaning in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

For comparative linguistics is not my speciality, I am just citing it here (with reference to source) to consider.

Citation:

For example, the Greek word ‘anthrôpos’ can be broken down into anathrôn ha opôpe, which translates as “one who reflects on what he has seen”: the word used to denote humans reflects their being the only animal species which possesses the combination of vision and intelligence. More in Malkiel (1993), Fumaroli (1999), and Del Bello (2007).

It is possible that was not where the word originates from, but it seem posible people who used it - e.g. Plato - thought it originated from there and assigned such meaning to it. Marjan T. --193.77.152.190 15:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

relation to "anthrax"?
I think Nagy's theory should be mentioned in "Etymology" section. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 07:29, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That's got to be the most farfetched etymology of ἄνθρωπος I've ever seen. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 08:29, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll say that it not the most farfetched etymology, I've ever seen, since does seem to appear in compounds like, but the semantic claim is very hard to stomach. —*i̯óh₁nC[5] 08:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Transcription
I think it should be made clear the pronunciation of a-to-ro-po-se (ánthropos) and a-to-ro-qo (ánthrokʷos). I do not know how to modify their code. --Manfariel (talk) 16:24, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:denounce

The difference between denounce and announce would be profitable.

Primary definition.
I am not entirely convinced that the first definition can be classified as archaic because that form of the verb is still in use when dealing with customs terminology. I always hear on passenger flights, where the aircraft staff ask the passengers "to denounce goods to the customs control at baggage claim". So this term still seems to be in wide use and widely understood as being an act of formally declaring possession of goods. Can anyone else clarify or corroborate on this matter please?

Thanks, Eug.galeotti 08:38, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

 * To me that sounds like an overly literal translation into English. The cliched question from US customs is "Anything to declare?". In the US the form is a customs declaration. Which country's customs terminology (English) use "denounce". "Denounce" reminds me of children reporting their parents' crimes against the state, definitely negative.

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

Talk:acuity

Certain nursing educators are acquiring this word and using it to mean "intensity of nursing care or medical intervention required". You can see the thinking: an acute care patient needs more than a chronic care patient, who needs more than a nursing-home patient. But for their own convenience, they have decided that acuity is a measure of the level of scute illness the patient has, rather than its true meaning.

It's funny how much new jargon is introduced by educationalists, who really should be defending the precision of language, rather than diluting it. Another example is the term "competency", which is a unit of skill that is acquired and can be measured after a given educational or training exercise. Regrettably, it is often confused with "competence", which simply means ability to do the job one is appointed to do, the reverse of incompetence.

I do not agree that the words "competence" and "competency" are interchangeable. In educationalist and management jargon, a competency is a unit of accomplished skill, usually quite specialized. Wikipedia refers to the concept of "core competencies", citing authors in the Harvard Business Review who identify these as characteristics of a business that is able to do a thing very well. Competence, on the other hand, is simply the ability to do what one claims to be able to do or, in the case of the regulated professions, licensed to do.

I've heard Flicking the Bean used on various occasions - perhaps that might be added to balance the wankers out a little bit. Anon

Transitivity and taking an object
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "masturbate" a completely intransitive verb that always implies doing the action to oneself?

I have seen, in several articles on this website as well as elsewhere, a transitive usage of the verb, with the object being the person who is being stimulated (for example, the sentence "He masturbated her"). Is this usage incorrect, proscribed, or is it correct and I'm entirely off the mark? Lunaibis (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:plaid

I have lived in Scotland all my life (born 1949) and had never heard the term "plaid" being used to describe the pattern until relatively recently (perhaps around 1990). To me "plaid" was the garment and "tartan" was the pattern. It seems to be an American Term that has crept into use and is in danger of replacing the word "tartan".

user jimsun (August 2006)

Pronunciation
I've always heard it pronounced plad, to rhyme with dad. It's the pronunciation I use myself.

Twilled?
