Wiktionary has a policy of not wikifying the names of well-known languages. Please do not wikify this template. — Paul G 09:53, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I agree that "well-known" languages shouldn't be wikified, but I don't see either Having some names wikified and others not, just makes lists of languages (translations, e.g.) look really ugly and unprofessional. Besides, if anyone really wants to know what a language is like, they'll just look it up, won't they? We don't need to provide links like and  on every single Wiktionary page. (PS: It's "Scottish Gaelic," according to Wikipedia.)
 * 1) who decides which languages qualify as "well-known," or
 * 2) why any language names should be wikified.

Is there a talk page where discussion of the above-mentioned "policy" would be appropriate? --Quuxplusone 01:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I recall seeing this discussion in the tea room (but perhaps my memory is incorrect; it could just as easily have been the beer parlour.) The distinction, IIRC, is not "well known" but rather if the language name itself is the same as the name of the people who speak it.  Yiddish vs. Hebrew or French vs. French.  I'm sure someone will correct me on the precise subtlety or the rule...  --Connel MacKenzie 04:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:viral

This "story" needs to be trimmed down to a def please. — Hippietrail 14:19, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

viral
In marketing sense. --Connel MacKenzie 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The definition seems right, but it is not a noun. More like an adjective as in viral marketing, which I have just created a page for.--Dmol 09:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Google pulls up 933,000 hits for "virals", and of the first ten hits, nine are in this sense, so I'd say it's pretty prevalent as a noun. Also, a b.g.c. search for  pulls up 65 results (http://books.google.com/books?q=%22virals%22+-%22anti-virals%22+-%22antiretro-virals%22+-%22anti-retro-virals%22), and while I'm not sure this sense is the one used in the majority of them, it's certainly used in enough to pass CFI with room to spare. —RuakhTALK 16:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Is this really a noun, though, or an adjective being used as shorthand for an unstated noun? (e.g. "I can't decide whether I want skinny noodles or a thick noodles, so I'll take half a pound of skinnies and half a pound of thicks.") bd2412 T 07:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Would you really say it that way? I'd say, "[…] half a pound of the skinny and half a pound of the thick." BTW, if substantive adjectives actually have plural forms for some speakers, then we need to add plural-form support to . —RuakhTALK 23:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't say it that way, but not everyone follows my lead! ;-) In any event, saying "half a pound of the skinny and half a pound of the thick" is still using the adjective in place of the unstated noun. I'll have half a pound of the viral, please. bd2412 T 18:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, but I made a point of searching for the plural form. Substantive adjectives, like attributive adjectives, are invariable in English; when you elide the noun, its plural marker goes with it (hence "half a pound of the skinny", not ?"half a pound of the skinnies"). When you see what looks like the plural of an English adjective, it's because the adjective has actually developed a noun sense. —RuakhTALK 19:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Second definiton in relation to a virus
I was wondering...do these "virals" get their name from the way they spread, do they actually contain computer viruses?

 * Viral videos get their name from the way they spread. It does not mean that they contain a virus. —Stephen 18:14, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:hubris

What on earth is "overweening"?

Question about the overweening question...
Overweening - Showing excessive confidence or pride. I'm not sure where you saw that word or if you were commenting because you didn't see it listed as a synonym...it appears to me these two words are interchangeable.

 * Except that overweening is an adjective and hubris is a noun. "Overweening" is usually relative to other humans. One could have hubris (directed toward the gods, not humans) and not be overbearing. DCDuring TALK 23:13, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

hubris
Rfd-redundant: "Unchecked arrogance" is, for the purpose of this entry, the same as "excessive arrogance" (sense 1). TeleComNasSprVen 19:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete in absence of supporting citations for a separate sense. It sounds identical. Equinox ◑ 20:32, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, same. --Mglovesfun (talk) 12:07, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Is this supposed to mean a tendency "unchecked" by the hubristic person himself, consistent with "hubris" being a mental state, or "unchecked" by the gods or society, consistent with "hubris" being a kind of behavior?
 * Apparently, in ancient Greek the term referred to behavior and was even used as a legal term. It would be interesting to see when the term picked up its psychological sense. It apparently has been in use in English only since the late 19th century.
 * Both senses of this entry would benefit from some citations. DCDuring TALK 14:22, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Deleted sense. --EncycloPetey 21:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Why "hubris" and not "hybris" ?
Why does this word appear with "u" rather than the expected "y" in English and several other European languages? (Others like German and Danish do have "y".) 178.4.151.88 02:56, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:algorithm

I deliberately left out "finite". As used here it's ambiguous. It could mean
 * 1) An algorithm has a finite description, which is covered by "well-defined"
 * 2) An algorithm must terminate after a finite number of steps.

While finite termination is sometimes given as a criterion, it turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. For example, the standard algorithm for implementing a server is essentially an infinite loop:

forever get request process request

or more completely

while not terminated get request process request (may set terminated)

In the abstract, neither of these is guaranteed to terminate in a finite number of steps, though in practice entropy will win in the end. For further examples, google "algorithm does not terminate". -dmh

(P.S.: What language was the name of the al-Khwarizmi in, if not Arabic :-)

 * OK, fair points, but the mathematical definition of an algorithm is one that has a finite number of steps (Wikipedia and dictionary.com agree with me, although Mathworld does not - I will check my mathematical dictionaries at home when I can). An procedure that does not terminate cannot have completed its task, and so cannot be an algorithm.  So I would say that "finite" is a crucial part of the definition and should stay in.

 * Of course, the definition of the halting problem implicitly says that an algorithm need not terminate (otherwise it would not use the word "algorithm". Maybe we should add "strictly" or "usually" to qualify this.  It's clearly a moot point.

 * Al-Khwarizmi's name was Arabic, of course, but the etymology is from the English transliteration rather than from the Arabic form. I'll check the OED when I remember to.

 * — Paul G 12:25, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * It's too late for me to check right now but I was pretty sure Al-Khwarizmi was Persian. This may well be an Arabicized version of his name though, which was a pretty common thing. — Hippietrail 14:13, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Persian sounds right. Paul, is there a particular reason you want to classify this as a "corruption"?  Unless there's some technical linquistic sense of the word I'm not aware of, this just seems to place a value judgement on the normal process of words chagning in the process of borrowing.  I'm not going to change it back, but I don't see a good reason for it.

 * As to finite, I'll add a usage note. One of the google hits I found is a good case in point.  It talks about a network algorithm going into an infinite loop under some presumably pathological condition.  I got the "finite" part in high school, but as a software engineer I can say for sure that no one really worries about it.  Some algorithms do great in their comfort zone but misbehave on bad input.  As a practical matter, you either guard the input or choose a more robust algorithm.  For that matter, algorithms that terminate in the technical sense can take practically infinite time to execute. -dmh 15:02, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * "Corruption" is a linguistic term that I have seen used in other dictionaries, but I admit it sounds like a value-judgement. dictionary.com defines this meaning as "The act of changing, or of being changed, for the worse; departure from what is pure, simple, or correct; as, a corruption of style; corruption in language." so there is value-judgement in there.  I'll change it to something better (see further comments about the etymology below).

 * The sources I checked earlier today vary on whether they include "finite" or not. Collins Reference Dictionary of Mathematics (CRDM), which is quite thorough and precise in its definitions, excludes it; the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mathematics (2nd ed.), which is very comprehensive, describes an algorithm as a finitary procedure for carrying out a task, where "finitary" means (according to CRDM) "not involving infinite sets, either explicitly or implicitly".  This would cover both possible interpretations of "finite" here - a procedure with a finite number of steps, and a procedure that takes a finite length of time (ie, that terminates).  The OED does not mention the word "finite" in its definition.

 * Given the variation, I think a usage note is appropriate in this case.

 * As for the etymology, the OED's is more extensive, saying that it the word comes from (I summarise there - the OED gives much more) the Old French "algorisme", which comes from the med(ieval?) Latin "algorismus", which comes from the Arabic surname of the mathematician, which it spells as "al-Khowarazmi"; the word has been influenced by the (ancient) Greek "άριθμός" (the accent on the alpha should be grave, but I don't have that to hand), meaning "number". So  a suitable summarised etymology might be something like "ultimately from al-Khowarazmi" (or however we want to spell it).

 * — Paul G 19:14, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I've changed "corruption" to "modification". — Paul G 19:16, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"The Algorithm"
I think it may be worth noting that from the 2010s on, the word, especially when used with a definite article, has frequently been used in non-technical contexts to refer to content ranking / recommendation systems used by social media websites (e.g., "the Twitter algorithm"). This is technically just a specific case of the more general definition of algorithm, of course. Any thoughts? 70.172.194.25 03:37, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Need to note somehow that "the offensive" is always used with "the". What's the technical term? It's not just uncountable. -dmh 04:18, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * As in "The Germans launched an offensive in late December." ? DCDuring TALK 14:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Offencive?
Has anyone else ever heard the use of 'offencive'? My British English spellchecker is throwing it up as a suggestion for 'offensive', but I've never heard it used... Odd bloke 02:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

- Odd blocke: That is a bug in aspell.

aggressive
demonstrating aggression I was warned that this would be seen as an offensive action Microsoft® Encarta® 2009 --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:52, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * IMO same as #2 "relating to an offense or attack". This is usually more of a military sense. Equinox ◑ 17:01, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Need to not shift in stress:
 * OFFense: Team sports.
 * offENSE: Other senses.

For whatever reason, individual sports (and some team sports) tend to use "attack" instead. I may be missing something, though. -dmh 04:20, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Huh?
Um, isnt it spelled 'offence'? I got redirected from there =/

Reply
The US and it's satelites spells it 'offense'. As far as I know, the entire rest of the English speaking world spells it 'offence'. Therefore, naturally, 'offence' is an alternate spelling of the CORRECT spelling 'offense', and not the other way around (end sarcasm).

 * So why does offence not have its own entry?   D b f  i  r  s   12:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * All you have to do is make it. —Stephen 22:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * It is notable that in UK English offence & defence are the proper spellings, but the derivative words offensive & defensive use 's' in place of 'c'. Though this is the case, some still argue that offense & defense are improper alternate spellings in US English despite the more logical associations to their derivatives.  B. Marsh 18:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, some do argue for offense and defense...about 300,000,000 somes. As for the logic of their derivation, defense derives from Latin defenso, and offense from Latin offensus. —Stephen 19:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Offense in law synonym to crime?
Do I understand it correctly that in law, offense is a synonym to crime? . --Daniel Polansky 09:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

 * My 3rd edition of Black's seems to say yes. DCDuring TALK 15:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

 * When used in this context, it would be refer to a 'criminal offense' and the criminal would aptly be named 'the offender'.   B. Marsh 18:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * In US and, I assume, elsewhere the terminology in use reflects the law of the relevant jurisdiction (in US, Federal or State). Could someone be an offender against a rule or regulation (or a traffic law) without being a criminal? A 'crime' might be restricted to misdemeanor or felony. A common usage seems to make an offender out to be less than a criminal. DCDuring TALK 19:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
