Translations
The translations of the nominative pronoun might need usage notes in some langauges, as I have already done for French and Italian. -- Paul G 10:51, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

a) "The big one looks good." & "I want the green one."

That should be like this in German:

But maybe it is or was also spelled like this, depending on the context?: b) "A good driver is one who drives carefully."
 * "Der/Die/Das Große sieht schön aus." & "Ich möchte den Grünen." or "Ich möchte das/die Grüne." (big = groß, big one = der/die/das Große (nominative case); green = grün, green one = den Grünen or das/die Grüne (accusative case).)
 * "Which car do you want? I want the green one." = "Welches Auto möchtest Du? Ich möchte das grüne.", where "das grüne" stands for "das grüne Auto".

Couldn't that also be translated like this into German?: -16:15, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "Ein guter Fahrer ist jemand, der vorsichtig (or: sorgfältig, gewissenhaft) fährt."
 * "Ein guter Fahrer ist derjenige, der vorsichtig fährt"
 * "Ein guter Fahrer ist, wer vorsichtig fährt."

cardinal numbers and articles
I noted that e.g. for German and Italian under the intederminate articles as well - I don't know if you had a reason for inserting this here as they would be the translation of "a/an" - that's why I am not modifying it right now, but would first of all like to understand the reason for inserting them here. The same seems to be valid for other languages as well, but I don't speak them so I cannot verify. -- SabineCretella 06:48, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * There is (now) an example sentence ("There is only one Earth.") which would need - at least in Swedish, and also in German if my recollection is correct - words identical to the indefinite articles as translations of one. So yes, either these words (as I guess you're talking about words like ein/eine?) should be included in the list, or the English would need a new definition to which this particular example should be moved, and which would have e.g. ein, eine (possibly even the non-nominatives?) as the German translations, and en, ett as the Swedish. \Mike 18:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Etymology
It was noted to editors, in the etymological dictionary that has been excised from Wikipedia, that this word is not of Tamil origin. Uncle G 11:27, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It should also be borne in mind that although it might appear that French ON (as indefinite personal pronoun, one) influenced the spelling of ONE[2], that is not true. Please read message below! Andrew H. Gray 12:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC) Andrew (talk) [0] means 'Absolutely not; [1] means 'Exceedingly unlikely'; [2] means 'Very dubious'; [3] means 'Questionable'; [4] means 'Possible'; [5] means 'Probable'; [6] means 'Likely'; [7] means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested; [8] means 'Attested'; [9] means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods.

Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk)
 * I doubt it. Middle English apparently didn't have the indefinite personal pronoun, but it did have a variety of forms starting with "on" (see the Middle English Dictionary entry). Also, this was during the time of Old French, and the spelling of the word that would later be French was all over the map: hom, um, em, etc. (see the TLFI entry for French "on"). The existence of the indefinite personal pronoun one in modern English may be due to the influence of modern French, but the spelling of the word in all its other senses seems to have been already pretty much as it is now, and that new indefinite personal pronoun probably owes its spelling to the spelling of the existing word. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:05, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

un-redirect 1
See Talk:1 for proposed definition. 1 and 0 have specific meanings (on/off;true/false) in computer science and (Boolean) logic. 0 and 1 are used repeatedly in definitions of logical functions which require these meanings. See Boolean logic. Rmo13 03:30, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite cardinal number definition
The English needs to be brought up to a better standard such as zero. See 1 for some ideas. A charming definition, but a bit chatty. Definition using first seems confusing to me. I would propose moving the noun definition directly after the cardinal number.Rmo13 18:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I don't know whether it's just an english regional pronunciation, but I've always pronounced this word /wɒn/ and I could swear I've never heard it said /wʌn/. Maybe I'm just going insane, but I would like to know.
 * Yes, I'm sure it's usually pronounced /wɒn/ in England. 217.33.253.7 21:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm in England and my dictionary gives /wʌn/. Another dictionary (the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary) says /wɒn/ is "widespread in England among educated speakers among educated speakers, but ... nevertheless judged to fall outside RP".128.86.151.116 16:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Here in the U.S., most of us say /wʌn/. I don’t think I’ve even heard a different pronunciation in the U.S>, but I don’t have much experience with the New England dialects or any of the dialects along the Canadian border. —Stephen 22:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm pretty sure that I and other Midwesterners pronounce it /wʊn/, though I can't find much in the way of citations... — ˈzɪzɨvə 01:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I was surprised to see the usual northern English pronunciation /wɒn/ (to rhyme with yon and tron) marked as non-standard, though I accept that is is non-RP. When I hear it pronounced /wʌn/ I immediately think "southerner"!  I'll have to listen carefully to the BBC, because most announcers no longer use RP.    D b f  i  r  s   12:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

northerners can't tell that 'one' rhymes with 'fun';southerners can't tell that northerners rhyme it with 'gone'.

Train operating company
Is is apropriate to add to the list of nouns that one is the name of a train operating company in the UK? See One (train operating company). Thryduulf 10:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I believe it is appropriate. I have added it in. —Stephen 10:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Etymology of the pronoun
Is the etymology of the pronoun one from French on (<Latin homo)? Or does it share the same etymology as the numeral? Or maybe something in between, like an extension of the numeral word's meaning influenced by the French pronoun? 72.228.86.15 01:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

a one
We don't have a definition for the sense used in the following citation, but I'm not sure how (or even under what part-of-speech header) to add it: —msh210 ℠ 19:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *1985, Anne Tyler, The Accidental Tourist, Knopf, ISBN 039454689X, chapter 20,
 * If she had read even a one of his guidebooks, she'd have known not to travel in white.

 * That's a substantive use of a Numeral. All numerals in English can be used as substantives this way, especially fractional numerals.  This is why modern grammarians are recognizing Numeral as a part of speech. --EncycloPetey 19:52, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * (I don't know what substantive means here; I've added there. But anyway:) You mean like "a half", "a quarter"? Those are just nouns, no? (That's how we list "half", anyway; q.v.) In any event, even if you say it's a numeral and not a noun, we should include a usage note about "a one", since this construction does not exist for most numerals (*"ate a three-quarters of the pie", *"had a two books in his hand").—msh210 ℠ 20:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * No, they're not nouns, but they are functioning like nouns (i.e. "substantive", identifying an object). There are a number of words that can function as substantives besides nouns:
 * Pronoun - He has a hat.
 * Determiner - Please hand me that. (this is traditionally called a "demonstrative pronoun")
 * Adjective - I want one in red.
 * Numeral - She wants five of them.
 * Verb (Participle) - Walking is good exercise.
 * In a relatively non-inflected language like English, we tend to classify words into parts of speech purely by function. However, in inflected languages, the pattern of inflection is usually specific to a particular part of speech and makes the part of speech clear.  The problem with this is that we end up with two different ways of describing parts of speech, and they become language specific and language dependent.  For numerals, it's a better policy to list them as "Numeral" and explain in an Appendix:English numerals how they function in English grammar, rather than forcing every single numerals into several articificial alternative POS categories.

 * Part of the reason this this distinction is so important is that, although numerals can function like nouns, they do not have all the grammatical characteristics associated with nouns. Consider:
 * Noun - They have those three, long, orange trucks.
 * Numeral - They have three.
 * Both sentences can mean exactly the same thing and apply in exactly the same situation, but the words and  have different grammatical rules that apply to them.  In the first sentence, the word  is a noun, so it may be preceded by articles, adjectives, numerals, or determiners in combination. In the second sentence, the word  is a numeral in its substantive function.  It may be preceded by an article (the three) or a determiner (those three), but not by an adjective (They have orange three.) nor by a combination of article/determiner and adjective as in the first sentence.

 * It is thus important to distinguish a noun from a numeral because, although the core function of the word itself can be a substantive in both cases, there is still a difference in the grammar of additional words combined to create a phrase from the word.

 * As for the specific sample sentences above, the reason they don't work is because they aren't grammatically singular like . You wouldn't say "He had a three-quarters of the pie.", but you wouldn't say "He had a books." either.  You could say "He ate a quarter of the pie," but not three-quarters.  It's a prepended counter there that makes it effectively plural.  The second example you protest about: "He had a two books in his hand." Is not using  as a substantive, so it's not relevant to the discussion.  The noun in that phrase is, and  is being used as a determiner (incorrectly, since "a" is exclusively for singular situations and so can't precede ). --EncycloPetey 20:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the clarification. If the community agrees with you, we need to tidy up quite a few entries, I suspect, changing part-of-speech headers and possible definitions. In any event, we should include a usage note (s.v. one or in the (nonexistent) appendix on numerals in English, or both) about "a one", because a is optional in it (contrast *"ate third of the pie", *"had million dollars"; but cf. "ate half of the pie", so that half is like one) . No?—msh210 ℠ 21:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes. Personally, I think we need the Appendix first, so that we have a fully worked-out explanation and justification with examples before we try to overhaul what we have.  And, yes, the entries for numerals need a lot of cleanup, but so do the prepositions and adverbs.  These three parts of speech seem to get less careful attention compared to the others. --EncycloPetey 21:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

'one' meaning the speaker (i.e. the 'Royal one')?
People occasionally still use it (often humorously). Could a note about this maybe come under synonyms?

e.g. One doesn't wish to be too quick to judge.

Meaning something like "I, and, I think/hope, others".

(Similar to the psychological-projection-usage of 'you', which, in that usage, seems to some extent to have replaced 'one', which may have been almost completely abandoned due to it sounding so formal/pompous & Queen-Elizabeth-like.) --Tyranny Sue 01:41, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * It's not a synonym for or .  It's what is sometimes referred to as "fourth person", and is roughly equivalent to the impersonal  in Spanish. --EncycloPetey 01:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Right, but in practice it often, in effect, means 'I' or 'me'. Perhaps a usage note. (I think we need to cover this editorial/Royal one usage, which is much like the editorial or Royal 'we'. I'll look for some good examples.)--Tyranny Sue 02:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Could you provide an example where it means "me"? I can't think of a single case where the two would be equivalent.  I've never heard of the "Royal one", only the "Royal we".   --EncycloPetey 02:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
Specifically the pronominal senses. Hamaryns rfc'd this awhile back (rightly so, in my opinion), but it's a bit tricky. My first instinct was to simply merge the senses and translations and be done with it, as English does not distinguish between the nominative and accusative case, and the distinction seems purely morphological for other languages, not worth splitting up translation sections. However, I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps there are two meaningful senses (which, btw, are not correctly distinguished by the defs nor by the example sentences). The first sense is simply an indefinite referential pronoun: "I want the green one". It can (but doesn't have to) take determiners. The other is.....a little trickier: "One should always remember to bring an umbrella when rain is possible". It can't take determiners, and is far more prevalent as the subject, but it can be the object (especially if the subject is also "one"). It's often used in moral platitudes. Additionally, there are other problems with the entry (e.g. I'm troubled by the fourth adjectival sense and its example sentence). Can someone with more sophisticated grammar skills look at this please? -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The second sense you describe "One should always remember..." is sometimes called the impersonal pronoun, and sometimes called "fourth person". Something like it exists in Spanish as well.  Yes, there are many, many problems with the entry for, in part because it's an extremely complicated little word.  I'll take a look, but I expect it will take the efforts of half a dozen of our best contributors here, and even then it may fall short. --EncycloPetey 07:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Annoyingly, the term is used both in reference to this sense of / (and FL counterparts), and in reference to expletive uses of  (ditto). The term, which seems to be used only in reference to this sense of / (and FL counterparts), might be better. —Ruakh TALK 17:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I've made an attempt at this, but I lack confidence in my skills in this matter. I would greatly appreciate a review by someone more skilled than I.  In any case, I feel that the example sentences are properly sorted, even if the definitions are.....wanting.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I wonder if maybe it should be split into two POS sections? Only sense #1 has a plural ("The big ones look good", "I want the green ones"), and only sense #2 has a reflexive . Also, while can have either sense, only for sense #2 does it seem to be a possessive pronoun like  etc.; for sense #1 it looks like normal  + . —Ruakh TALK 14:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

usage notes
The interesting information on the historical development of the pronunciation needs to be corrected a little according to http://blog.oup.com/2008/04/the-oddest-english-spellings-or-thinking-of-o-with-my-compliments-to-the-conference-of-the-spelling-society-in-coventry-uk/ and it should be put in the etymology section. This information is interesting but very confusing and irrelevant for most users in the usage section. In addition, this doesn't even explain to normal users why the pronunciation is not like in "only, alone etc.", which *would* interest many users. --Espoo (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Moved from the entry:

and are pronounced differently from the related words, , and. Stressed vowels often become diphthongs over time (cf. 🇨🇬 > 🇨🇬; 🇨🇬), and this happened in the late Middle Ages to the words  and, first recorded ca 1400: the vowel underwent some changes, from  >  >  >  >  > . [uon] > [won] > [wun] > [wʊn] > [wʌn], presumably? For languages other than Standard Modern English, the US dictionary transcription is awkward.

Usage notes

 * The direct transitive sense and the prepositionally transitive sense are similar but can have very different implications.
 * To “believe” someone or something means to accept specific pieces of information as truth: believe the news, believe the lead witness. To “believe a complete stranger” means to accept a stranger's story with little evidence.
 * To “believe in” someone or something means to hold confidence and trust in that person or concept: believe in liberty, believe in God. To “believe in one's fellow man” means to place trust and confidence in mankind.
 * Meanings sometimes overlap. To believe in a religious text would also require affirming the truth of at least the major tenets. To believe a religious text might likewise imply placing one's confidence and trust in it, in addition to accepting its statements as facts.
 * This is generally a stative verb that rarely takes the continuous inflection. See Category:English stative verbs

User:Hippietrail

Who?
I’m an Aussie who has lived in most states of Australia. I’ve worked in the printing industry, as a software engineer, and in tourism. I do a lot of travelling, usually for long periods of time. Most recently one year hitchhiking around Taiwan, mainland China, Mexico, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia.

My first (logged-in) edit on Wiktionary was on 10 December 2003 where I added translations to the English definite article, the. Prior to that I had just started playing with Wikipedia after a few years on Everything2. I was very excited to find Wiktionary since I’d been thinking for years that the world needed a free dictionary of every language that could be contributed to by anybody and everybody over the Internet. I discussed the idea with some people at the GUADEC, the GNOME Users and Developers European Conference. At that time I was an active contributor to AbiWord, an open source word processor.

My long term dream for Wiktionary is to make it queryable like a database. This requires much work on standardisation of formats and on parsing.

User talk:Ray Cherry/Conceptionary

Discussion page for the definition of 'conceptionary'

Open for debate here:

What would you consider the most basic concepts in human understanding?
Patterns? (lines and shapes, colors)

Sounds? (simple and harmonic, voice and music)

Primitive Self-Preservation? (thirst, hunger, warmth, family)

Personal Awareness? (parts of body, awake and sleeping, dreams and fears)

Environment? (rooms, houses, inside and outside, furniture and clothes)

Discuss ...

 * Numbers I guess are the most basic concepts in human understanding. Numbers express different scales and quantities, which are I guess the most basic in our understanding. By the way, as for the most basic concepts, there are attemps to create the world's minimal language. As I understand, the idea is to construct a language, which would still be enough to express any thought. Of course, it's not a very correct way to do it, as we know that sets of different quantities are enought to express virtually everything (digital broadcasting, etc. communicated in binary code). I think we should attempt to create not the world's minimal language, but the world's "optimal" language for daily communication and learning... --Inyuki 22:21, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your latest contribution. I would imagine that your mathematics background has influenced this answer, which is of course appropriate for details of storing and arranging the concepts with computer systems. However, it is the method of interaction from the User to the Conceptionary that I was hoping to discuss. Not that I want to ignore the internal structures of the data - this is essential to the performance of the 'product(s)' should anything ever by produced for the purposes being described - but the usefulness/success of this project hinges on the navigation system of the user interface dealing with the links between concepts. How can a single 'reference book' be constructed for use by the greatest diversity of 'readers' (or 'viewers'); people of all ages, cultures and academic capacities should be able to use the conceptionary, and the user interface should be configurable to each user's preferences (see Path Maps and the filtering thereof below). As for new languages, I hold the opinion that old languages should be kept alive as much as possible, as much knowledge remains in their written and verbal heritage that is not yet documented by modern methods - let alone common knowledge. Consider, for example, the links between Welsh (of Wales, Britain) history/mythology and the dragon; Chinese mythology and their dragon; the Dark Ages of northern Europe; trees buried in Irish bogs showing a decade-long winter; and, finally, the chronology and frequency of meteor/comet/n.e.o impacts on Earth and other solar system bodies (including Shoemaker-Levy in Jupiter, 1994, and "2002 NT7" in 2019). If you follow the 'dragon's trail' you may find Madoc takes you from Europe to America leaving behind the troubles described by Gildas, and good reasons to start, (or restart), a society on Mars. Also, if you enjoy looking for the histroy behind the mythology, J.R.R. Tolkien's lifetime work on European mythology holds many seeds for discussion and research; many references to a land of plenty lost in the west of the world, [Europe <=> migrations <=> America], and to a land hosting a very ancient and advanced culture that disappears under a tidal wave never to be seen again, [Atlantis <=> meteor impacts <=> acts of God(s) <=> rogue waves].  In summary, minimising the information should not, in my humble opinion, reduce the information; it should condense the information without losses in detail, (and the inherent links to other information via those details). It is the sorting, filtering and analysis of information, not the minimisation, that should be focussed upon. -- Ray Cherry 14:35, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

 * This is an interesting idea I've been thinking about recently. I have been considering creating a conceptionary. I would recommend reading Ayn Rand's book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology and the relevant chapter on concepts from Leonard Peikoff's book: Objectivism, Philosophy of Ayn Rand for starters. Ms Rand gave the most original theory of what concepts are and how we form them in the process of human cognition.  Now to consider the most basic concepts I would say that they have to be sensory-perceptual. Because the senses are the foundation of knowledge -- the standard of determining what is real. Sensory concepts are the most basic of all.  But we don't have access to the raw sensory data because our brain automatically processes our sensory data and provides our conscious mind with percepts. Unless we blur our vision or distort our hearing we don't see unidentified patches of colour.  So instead of seeing  a 'square blob of colour', we actually see 'a red square' that is the mind presents sensory data as integrated units already. -- zardoz at infoserve dot net 2009-02-05

 * So for some concretes, basic concepts consist of: sight, sound, touch, taste, smell. Then we form concepts of discrete entities which we can detect using our senses: red, blue, square, sharp, soft, sweet, bitter, salty, acrid, pungent, foul, pine (smell) unfortunately the touch, taste and smell concepts are difficult to convey online with present technology. The closest you could get would be to display a tongue licking a lemon, grapefruit, lime and then a candy to identify the concept of sour vs sweet -- zardoz at infoserve dot net 2009-02-05

 * My idea of a conceptionary is to use Rand's theory of concept formation to present a concept with the minimal data required to correctly form that concept, the definition of the concept, including the genus and differentia, followed by more example referents and notable exceptions. Finally, a more scientific definition can also be provided. So for example the concept blue would be indicated by the word Blue, then two patches of different shades of blue and a patch of red (the minimum data needed to form the concept blue) This concept is so basic it has no definition apart from pointing at blue objects. (ostensive definition) Genus is colour. Followed by the full spectrum of blue shades. The scientific definition would be visible light with a wavelength ranging from XXXnm to YYYnm but dependent somewhat on the particular physiology of any specific person's eyes (colour-blindness). -- zardoz at infoserve dot net 2009-02-05

Links between Concepts
Are the links discussed in the Conceptionary document, Concepts in themselves?

Should links exist as a separate entity in the database? Or should the Concepts themselves act as links (direct and indirect)? No deep thinking in database design is required here, (at this point), but an understanding of the link between two or more concepts requiring some form of description.

The description of a link is metadata for the database structure, but also a definition of a 'link', which would require an entry in the Conceptionary to explain the meaning of such a link. Hence a 'link' would be 'linked' to a concept, in order to explain the significance of the 'link'. Links would then exist between links and concepts, and even develop hierarchies of 'links' - very complex and undesirable.

To illustrate:

Concept of 'Red' <=> Link (and associated Concept) <=> Concept of 'Color'

The Concept associated to the Link could be 'Visual Perception', and further 'linked' to other Concepts.

Alternatively, remove the 'link' as an entity with any meaning, (no metadata, and no associated Concept), and simply refer each entity to others with which it has a meaningful association.

Hence, all the following are possible:

Concept of 'Color' <=> Concept of 'Visual Perception' Concept of 'Red'  <=> Concept of 'Color' Concept of 'Red'  <=> Concept of 'Visual Perception' <=> Concept of 'Color'

The above example illustrates the possibilities of 'Paths' between Concepts, as there exist two 'Paths' between 'Red' and 'Color', one of which is direct (possibly a 'Strong Path') and one that is indirect - involving intermediate Concepts between 'Red and 'Color' (possibly a 'Weak Path').

Discuss ...

 * From what I said above about concept formation, the natural relationship between concepts would be through their genus. So red and blue, which both have a genus of colour would automatically be linked. In addition, concepts have an 'order number' which indicates the level of abstraction they require. So first level concepts are identified through direct sensory perception. Level two concepts are identified by abstracting from level one concepts. For example, after you have identified chairs, tables, sofas, etc you can form the concept of furniture. Furniture is a second order concept because it is a purely abstract concept based directly on first order concepts. With concepts related by order number you can trace back any very abstract concept to the actual sensory-perceptual level for every intermediate concept thus anchoring your concepts directly to reality.  zardoz at infoserve dot net 2009-05-02

Path Maps between related Concepts
It is possible to conceive of a map of Paths between any two Concepts.

The most detailed of these Path Maps would attempt to present all possible Paths between the Concepts being considered. The Strong Paths may be indicated in a diffent style to Weak Paths - and Strong or Weak may not relate to the Length of the Path, but to the most common understanding of the relation between the two Concepts.

Reiteration: The Strongest Path may not necessarily be the shortest Path. The Weakest Path may in fact be the very shortest (direct) Path.

As an exercise, try to think of two Concepts that have no relationship.

The Path Maps may also be simplified by eliminating the Weak Paths, leaving only the more 'obvious' links (Strong Paths) between the two (or more) Concepts in consideration.

However, Specialist Conceptionaries may have a different interpretation of which Paths are Weak or Strong. Consider the different views of Scientists and Farmers, of Politicians and Priests: their Conceptionaries are specific not only in their Concepts, but in the links between them.

Hence, each Specialist Conceptionary may have its own set of Path Maps.

In fact, it is possible to think of some Specialist Conceptionaries not having any unique Concepts at all, but presenting special Path Maps between common/existing Concepts.

Discuss ...

 * It sounds here like you are confusing concepts with words. Concepts are exact, once formed properly. The fact that we use the same word to represent different concepts makes language difficult because we always have to maintain context.  But a conceptionary should make every concept clear and unique even if the word (in some language) is used for another concept.  Ideally, there would be some parenthetical text on the word to disambiguate the concept when necessary. orange(fruit) versus orange(colour) is already disambuguated because the genus of each differs. X(a letter of the alphabet) X(the unknown variable) X(multiplication) X(a symbol of negation) each X is a separate concept but they all use the same 'word' We always have to look at the context to determine which concept the letter X refers to when we see it somewhere. zardoz at infoserve dot net 2009-02-05

Hi, from Inyuki again, on Conceptionary
Hi, Ray. I have just browsed using http://www.wiki.com search engine and happened to see you again.

I think concepts are not equal to words, that is why they have to be catalogued more precisely. Still, we seem to not have a Conceptionary, such as we have Wiktionary.

I did not want to steal your idea or anything (I have another idea that I am mostly working on. It is now on http://howto.wikia.com), however I happened to initiate a project http://concept.wikia.com as well. My reason towards creating it was purely to create a place to add the concepts that I use in a slightly different meaning than they are described on the common dictionaries. This is especially important when you are explaining something to other people, and you are using your own words. Not always does our own words that we use have the same meaning in the person's that we are speaking to, head. So, I thought it could be handy thing to put the explanations of some of such words in a wiki, hence http://concept.wikia.com ...

It has very few pages right now, but from what you can find there, it is possible to understand the idea.

If you have some news on Conceptionary idea, I am glad to know.
