Usage notes

 * Some commentators, especially in England, criticise the interjectional use as having no meaning beyond that of . This is not to mean that emphasis is useless, which of course, pragmatically speaking, it isn’t; rather, it means that absolutely is better avoided when there is no emphasis, or, in other words, when the meaning is simply Yes (compare, in French, the use of Tout à fait as an answer, with the meaning of Oui, which is advised against by the Trésor de la langue française informatisé). On the other hand, emphasis can also be expressed in other ways: for instance, Yes, of course, Yes, indeed, Yes, certainly.

Usage notes

 * The term and its two plural forms match, and are potentially confounded with, three different taxonomic names for two related taxa: genus (, 1758) and subclass  (Nitzsch), 1818), aka . The subclass comprises all mites and ticks, while the genus is a particular group of mites. Further complicating matters, the genus  as originally described by Linnaeus included a wide assortment of species. As new genera were described and species moved to them, the definition of the genus changed each time.
