french fries

Etymology
Clipping of earlier (1856) and, potatoes supposedly prepared in the French style.

Noun

 * 1)  Strips of deep-fried potatoes that have been frenched (cut into strips).

Usage notes
In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, deep-fried potato strips are generally and traditionally called chips. However, with exposure to the "french fries" on the menus of US-origin fast food outlets, the term "french fries" (or just "fries") has for many people come to mean, specifically, "chips" of the type usually served in those outlets, which are generally thinner, and also possibly crispier, than the traditional British "chip".

Etymology
Is it correct that the word Esperanto entered the European languages from Esperanto? I suppose it entered these languages from Zamenhof's publications on Esperanto, the first of which was in Russian as far as I know. I mean, maybe this is a bit captious, and maybe the word is indeed ultimately from Esperanto. But I don't think it was really borrowed from spoken or written Esperanto into say English or German.Kolmiel (talk) 00:51, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

How to link to wikipedia in spanish, for example ??.

 * Maybe a clude: http://hikiwiki.org/its/?Ticket-69

RFV
Rfv-sense: Adjective. Looks like use of the noun. The noun is definitely attestable, the verb too, I think, but just barely based on Usenet cites. Have added a Google Book citation to the verb for good measure. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd actually be interested to see cites for the noun. There is a noun sense that I'm familiar with ("= interwiki link"), but our current noun sense ("The structure, space or network of links between wikis") seems like tosh. If that can't be cited, then by default it makes sense to treat "interwiki" as an adjective. —Ruakh TALK 23:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Correct, though I think the plural 'interwikis' gets enough hits, none of them which seem to be verb forms. Oh and see User:Mglovesfun/to do if you're wondering where these nominations come from. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:09, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Re: "I think the plural 'interwikis' gets enough hits": I'm sorry, but I don't understand your point. I acknowledged that there is a noun sense, but I contend that it's short for "interwiki link", and therefore contest the notion that "interwiki link" is using the noun "interwiki" attributively (since that would be circular and redundant: it implies that "interwiki link" means "interwiki-link link", which means "interwiki-link–link link", and so on). —Ruakh TALK 00:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, I hadn't actually read the noun sense as I just assumed it said interwiki link. The adjective (or noun used attributively) is much easier to cite than the noun used countably, but IMO it is a noun. Perhaps that's an RFD issue rather than RFV. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh, we can leave it here for a month to see if anyone provides really compelling adjectival cites, then move it if no one does. RFD discussions, for whatever reason, don't seem to be very conducive to evidence-gathering, nor very responsive to such evidence as is gathered. —Ruakh TALK 23:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

So, which part of speech is supposed to stay? - -sche (discuss) 08:50, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Adjective removed. - -sche (discuss) 02:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Adjective?
Isn't "interwiki" an adjective too? —Wei4Green (talk) 08:50, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Origin is outside WMF
There seems to be an incorrect impression that this is Wikimedia jargon, but it actually originated elsewhere, before Wikipedia even existed.

The term seems to have originated on the very first wiki with the intention of linking all wikis into one navigable site; the term was then taken up by MeatBallWiki / the UseMod software and came to refer specifically to cross-site hyperlinks.

Those Wayback Machine archives are from 2002 and 2001, respectively, but the pages clearly existed before that. Notably, a related page titled InterWikiMap describes the facility existing "as of November 25, 2000". Note that Wikipedia was not launched until January 2001. - IMSoP (talk) 15:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I found examples on Usenet from 2000, so it must predate Wikipedia. . 70.172.194.25 06:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I just wrote at your talk page, but I'll move it to here. Quercus solaris (talk) 06:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Here was my comment: At interwiki and transwiki—they are no longer specific to WMF jargon, if they ever were. I don't think that they should be labeled as WMF jargon without further explanation when they are not specific to it. I changed some labels to "originally WMF jargon" on the idea that they started that way but aren't anymore. But maybe they never were even to begin with, as you rightfully pointed out. I might just delete the labels entirely. Quercus solaris (talk) 06:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I think we're in agreement. Also, FWIW, the verb/gerund is also attested from 2000 (more sources could be gathered, but this clearly dated example suffices to demonstrate the point).
 * I'm less sure about the origins of "transwiki". That might have originated as a WMFism, but I'd need to do more research to be more confident. Either way, you're right that it's not exclusively used on WMF wikis currently. For example, here it is on Fandom (Wikia). 70.172.194.25 06:18, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The etymology of clearly says that it was coined in WMF context, so I don't see why that label was removed. – Jberkel 08:32, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Somehow I didn't even think to check the entry to see the etymology, which even has the original mailing list post in which it was used (I wasn't the one who removed the label). But that makes sense to me, as I wasn't able to find any pre-Wikipedia uses. 70.172.194.25 08:49, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Upshot—we're in agreement. The labels are now gone from, and says "originally Wikimedia jargon". Thanks for helping to fix them. Quercus solaris (talk) 16:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Wiktionary talk:By alphabetical order

Yeah, it is pretty changeable to use letters, at least at this point...I think I'll go ahead and put some general letters back up though (without all the detail)...Just wanted to put the page up... user:brettz9
 * Is there a function that will allow the automatic generation of the title of the n'th article on the alphabetical list? That would take care of a lot of problems here. Eclecticology 19:42 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

 * Do you mean list the first article in the nth page of 250?
 * Yes.
 * (I don't have power to do anything about it, but I didn't understand your comment.) Automatic generation would be great, but it will probably be less necessary to change the pages (at least if we are limiting the pages to the first letter of the word) when there are more items user:brettz9
 * Quite the contrary. As we get bigger adding a new article 97 will change the entry at article 32,501.  Even now three separate groups of 250 begin with the namespace "Wiktionary:".  The entire ordered list is numbered; thus asking "What is the title of article #251 should give is the name for the first article in the second group.  It is likely that there is a formula to do this.  This is more a matter of knowing the formula than of having the power to do this. Eclecticology 02:54 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)
 * I guess what I meant was that if the articles are pushed forward when there are a lot of items, even though the letter won't be positioned at the first page, it would at least get people in the right vicinity. But yeah, maybe there is some code for it. user:brettz9 Mar 3, 2003

Thanks for contributing here and adding the specificity. Someone on Wikipedia deleted the page started there for the same purpose since he said he's testing out an automatic generator (though it's not implemented yet). Hopefully it'll be done soon and also addable here? - Brettz9 04:33 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC) P.S. Even though the specificity is great, I did kind of like the general quick glance single letter items before. Those were also not as changeable for manual updates, but if someone is willing....

Talk:acronym

How about making this page a comprehensive list of acronyms linkable from the first page?

 * No, defintion articles should be short (see the history of computer language for example). However, the link to the list of acronyms on a separate page is just fine. -dmh 14:11, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Translations
Some of the translations (Interlingua "initiales", Portuguese "abreviatura", "inciial", and possibly "sigla") look like they are translations for "initials", "initialism" or "abbreviation", which are not synonyms for "acronym" in its standard sense. Could someone please check these. — Paul G 16:37, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Definitions of Acronym

 * Defining acronym is extremely troublesome task. I've taken a stab at rewriting the definition already in place about five times now, and each time been less satisfied than I am with what is currently in place.  Yet I think it needs improvement.  Part of the problem is that the American Heritage def isn't very good either, indicating that this is not an easy word to write a correct, effective, easy-to-read, succinct definition for.

 * No. It's a very EASY task.  i can do it in one sentence:  An acronym is an abbreviation that is spoken as a word (NASA, radar) rather than spelled out (FBI, CIA).
 * Any other definition is nonsense. Definition 3 basically says an acronym is an abbreviation.  If that's the case, get rid of the word.  A difference without a distinction is pointless.  People call all abbreviations acronyms because they are ignorant.  If we allow definition 3 to exist as legitimate we're diluting the distinction and corrupting the language.  Look at the work impact and how the media has fully corrupted it to mean effect. ( unsigned comment by User:12.193.84.162, 09:55, 4 August 2008 )

 * Part of the problem is that acronym really represents a number of senses that overlap and are different only in a few specific ways. Another part of the problem is that there is a general definition of acronym, which consists of two senses, one "correct" and one "incorrect" as well as a technical or jargonistic definition of acronym.

 * "Strictly speaking, though, these are initialisms." is misleading, because the word initialism is still pretty much jargon--it is not in common parlance except amongst people that study language in some form or another. I don't know how old the word is (I suspect not very), but I don't think its use is a matter of strictness so much as a matter of people in a specific field requiring a more technical definition (like velocity in physics, which in normal English just means speed or rapidity of motion and has nothing to do with direction).

 * Also, neither sense currently defined would allow for established acronyms like XML, where the first letter is taken from the second (or other) position of the first word. Additionally, there is a problem with established acronyms that are read partly as individual letters and partly as words (a clear case: LDAP and a less clear case: AWOL, where it could be argued that the A is simply being emphasized and not named, contrary to common English pronunciation--though there is Ahab).

 * Lastly, there is no mention of problematic abbreviations that are read by some people as words and others as letters (SQL) or abbreviations that are read as though they had additional letters that aren't really there (FNME is read as Fannie Mae).

 * If we are to be in any way comprehensive, all of these should be included in the definition (and not in the usage notes--the usage notes should not be used to qualify definitions or add precision to them; they should only be used to indicate frequency of usage, connotation, offensiveness, regional considerations, etc.), or we risk having an incorrect definition. The problem is wording it so that it doesn't sound like a riddle in need of solving, and avoiding an overly lengthy definition.

 * Here is a list of "acronyms" or "initialism" to consider when defining (and categorizing) these terms, each presenting its own problems:

 * JPEG (mixed letter-word pronunciation)
 * SQL (disagreement about pronunciation)
 * FNME (pronounced as if there were other letters)
 * XML (non-initial letter used)
 * Xmas (mixed abbreviation with regular wording, where the abbreviation is from a different language)
 * Ped. X-ing (letter used as symbol)
 * PhD (non initial symbol, stands for a borrowed term, and is usually read in long form as "doctorate of philosophy")
 * BofA (mixed abbreviation with a regular, lower-cased word)
 * Patriot act (dual-purpose abbreviation and word, where the abbreviated sense is much less known).
 * Any thoughts?

 * I have attempted to neutralize the value judgment regarding "strictly speaking", etc., per the discussion on Wikipedia:Talk:acronym. However, the point about other types of abbreviations still needs to be addressed. Nohat 00:22, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Initialism also overapplied
I've just added a comment to Talk:initialism that that term is overapplied just as people claim that "acronym" is over applied. An initialism is literally an item created from "initial" letters but is often applied to items created using also non-initial letters such as is the case with "TNT" which have gone so far as to use as an example in the initialism article. — Hippietrail 21:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Acronym is not an Abbreviation
An acronym is a word formed from the joining of letters (ususally the first letter) of a multi-word term. WHO, for World Health Organization is an acronym, as who is a valid word.

SQL, for Structured Query Language, is an abbreviation, not an acronym, as sql is not a valid word.

Acronyms are therefore a subset of abbreviation. However it seems this is an antique attitude to correct English. Current common usage of acronym seems ignores the need for a valid word to be formed - and this Wiktionary entry (unfortunately) adds credence to this usage and the loss of distinction between acronym and abbreviation.

Paul M 16th Jan, 2006 (Australia)

 * Wiktionary is here to describe how people actually use words, not to set down rules about how words should and shouldn't be used. Note that the "Usage Notes" section acknowledges that conservative usage commentators (such as yourself) disapprove of this usage. Nohat 05:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * If anything goes, why bother?
 * Wiktionary is useless if all it does is document mistakes and pass them off as legitimate. Wiktionary SHOULD be the place where myths are debunked and put to rest.  To do otherwise is the coddle the ignorant and lazy. ( unsigned comment by User:12.193.84.162, 09:55, 4 August 2008 )

 * The point is to document how the language is used, not to dictate how it ought to be used. It is a fact that people use the word acronym as in sense 3, and if readers encounter the word acronym used that way and want to know what it means, we serve our readers by providing a definition that matches how the word is used. As I said before, the "Usage Notes" section acknowledges that conservative usage commentators (such as yourself) disapprove of this usage. Furthermore, there is a difference between acronyms and abbreviations, even if we accept sense 3: abbreviations, such as "etc.", "Mr.", "Thu." are abbreviations in written form only--when people read those abbreviations out loud they are pronounced the same as the expanded forms (i.e. "et cetera", "mister", "Thursday") whereas acronyms such as "IBM", "TNT", "NASA" are pronounced in a way which is distinct from the normal pronunciation of what those things stand for. Viz:

 * What makes acronyms acronyms is not whether they are pronounced as words or letters, but whether their pronunciation is the same or different from their expansion. Nohat 00:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, those are initialisms. Acronyms are usually pronounced as if they were words in their own right. --EncycloPetey 00:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * All those are in fact described as "acronyms", as per sense 3 on this page, as well as sense 3 in Merriam-Webster. My point was that those who use sense 3 do not necessarily have no distinction between "acronym" and "abbreviation" as has been suggested elsewhere on this page. The distinction is the one I have explained here. Nohat 00:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Translation problem
The Dutch translation says acroniem and letterwoord. Unfortunately the unclear status of what acronym really means (see above!) makes this translation rather iffy. The Dutch Language Union (taalunie) distinguishes:

 * letterwoord: radar, havo (are pronounced as a word)
 * initiaalwoord: pc, cao (are pronounced peesee and see-ah-oh)

nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf

Plural of an acronym
My understanding is that the proper plural of an acronym is the acronym itself. (Because the usual trailing 's' is abbreviated away, for eg "Three Letter Acronym"=TLA & "Three Letter Acronyms"=TLA). But I also observe that common usage is sometimes to add the trailing 's' anyway (eg TLAs) or - horror upon horror, with an extra apostrophe (eg TLA's). Is some or all of this worth adding under usage notes? Regards, BenAveling 10:14, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Hard for us to gather facts about what happens as a general rule. Different regions or other language communities might have different practices and many acronyms are very specific to a small community. The "add-an-"s"-to-make-a-plural" is generally understood and practiced by many speakers and writers. It can even be useful to reduce ambiguity, IMO. Though I intensely dislike the apostrophe because it creates confusion with possessives and contractions, sometimes it helps resolve whether a given abbreviation ends in "s" as a singular or is a plural. DCDuring Holiday Greetings! 15:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect Example
In the Usage notes section the word "sitcom" is given as an example of an acronym. It is not an acronym at all, it is a portmanteau of "situation" and "comedy". The example "sitcom" should therefore be removed from this article.

The example "scuba" is a good one as it is an acronym which stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
 * I would agree that sitcom is not a clear example of an acronym, but likewise for EpiPen. So either they both go or they both stay.  And they are not far removed from Benelux either.  —DIV (1.145.124.86 04:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC))

Various
I had an idea...How about having a room dedicated to helping people find a word they were looking for to express their ideas? (with a link from the help and main pages) Maybe people could be encouraged to post their questions on the discuss page of By Topic or its subpages. I think this might help people do the ground work to make sure another appropriate word doesn't already exist before coining any new terms (related to my other suggestion at the main page where words could be flagged as newly coined--words not (yet) in circulation but which the submitter feels fills an expressive gap in the language)  User:brettz9

Archiving
I started to archive discussions to the entries' talk pages, as specified in Administrators/Dishwashing, but then I became uncertain, as there are also archives "per year" linked from the top of the page. What should be done? Should discussion be put in their respective talk pages, those archives or both? Jon Harald Søby 08:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Way back when, the original intention was to have this go to the separate talk pages when a specific discussion settled down. I still support the idea, and don't feel that there is much value to archiving the stuff here. Passive users won't be inclined to search through archives to find an answer the their current questions.  Of course it's much easier to cut and paste a single large block to archives that to do the detailed work of going to each talk page.

 * I wonder whether when a new question is raised on this page it might be a good idea for the person answering to create a link to the appropriate talk page, and put here only a message linking them to that talk page. Eclecticology 22:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I've archived up to November 2007, month by month. Ideally, each section could be copied to its talk page, but that would take a hell of a long time. --Keene 14:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Tea Room usage
Should these discussions about words be here (away from the actual discussion pages)? Is there a way to have the tea room, be a list of categories (ideally with pages that have recent discussions?) with a bot that pulled recent discussion pages into a list (again, by category). I would be looking for something like Category:Sports/New or Category:Sports/Todo... Or do we have projects like Wikipedia...that I just cannot seem to find? -- Mjquin id 17:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * If we put the question for discussion on the word's talk page, it might be years before it's noticed; posting to tea room gets a lot of attention and then we can copy any interesting results that should be preserved to the word's talk or citation pages for a record. RJFJR 17:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * We have fewer registered users per entry than Wikipedia and need to handle such discussions as RJFJR says. In the rare case that there is an extended active discussion on an entry the discussion is moved to the entry talk page. DCDuring TALK 18:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I was going to place some usage tip of a foreign word into the discussion page of that word (the tip came from a television program), and I was directed to place it into the tea room page. but upon going there (here), I find it is not language specific - can you make a tea room for specific languages that the translators for that particular language would be found in, rather than placing all the discussions together? This will make it more easier for the people who specialise in that certain language to "watch" the page and take on the tasks people highlight (as it is right now it would give alot of false alarms). Charlieb000 (talk) 04:37, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * We have about 2,500 languages at Wiktionary. Even though only a small fraction of those end up being discussed, that would still mean dozens of Tea rooms- not really practical. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

a friend in need is a friend indeed
The real meaning... (In my humble opinion....)

If someone is willing to show their weakness to you, and leave themselves vulnerable and open to judgment/attack, then they are truly a friend.

 * I like the punning ambiguities: "a friend in need is a friend in deed" and the question as whether the proverb is about needy people acting friendly or friends proving themselves when you need their help. DCDuring TALK 13:07, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Or that regardless of fact or feelings, you should treat a person being generous in your time of need as you would a friend ("don't look a gift horse in the mouth"). Pingku 17:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Auto-archiving of Tea Room
I suggest we completely change how this page works. Looking at the new Etymology Scriptorium, that page auto-includes (transcludes?) Talk pages, and so the discussion is kept both at Talk:foo and at WT:ES, which is extremely handy. As far as I can tell, the way we have it here has no advantages over the Scriptoriusm, except maybe that it is easier to add a page here (but took me about 4 minutes training to add to WT:ES). --Jackofclubs 06:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I definitely support the WT:ES approach. Archiving is much easier and one does not have to handle with hundreds of KB in one page. How can this page adjust to the new (WT:ES) layout? The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 20:18, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Discussion rooms
Why does Wiktionary talk:Discussion rooms redirect to the Tea Room? I just noticed this as I was trying to ask why Bug reports was listed there even though it redirects to the Grease Pit. --Yair rand 04:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure why. Connel did that in 2007, but he's not around much to ask, and might not remember anyway.  If you have a better suggestion for a target, then I'm certainly open to that.  There isn't really a reason why that page should have a discussion page, but I don't see that a redirect to the Tea Room is a particularly good option. --EncycloPetey 02:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I see no reason why Discussion rooms shouldn't have a discussion page for discussing changes to it. At the moment there is really no place for discussing what's the best way to remove the useless link, or any other edits to the page. --Yair rand 01:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There's the Beer Parlour. Most discussions here on Wiktionary happen in one of the Discussion rooms, rather than on the talk pages of the various articles and other locations. --EncycloPetey 01:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Inpiscinate
I have seen a word being used on the internet. I googled it and it had over 100 hits. It has been used on such sites as pandora. It has also been used on several blogs. The word is inpicscinate. It comes from the latin "in" and "piscina" literally meaning into the fishpond. The word means "to throw into a fishpond."

 * This is a well-known example of a group of people trying to get an invented word into online dictionaries. It will fail until they can provide evidence of actual use. SemperBlotto 16:09, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Help with the meanings of these words
Hi,

I work for a company in the IT department. Recently we have been tasked to review all of our Systems and Tools. A group of us threw a whole bunch of stuff on a white board - then I was tasked to categorize all of this stuff. I am struggling to distinguish the difference between "SYSTEMS" and "PROCESSES" and "TOOLS". Simplistically I was thinking a system was an application i.e. MS Excel, MS Word, a process was various steps one would take to complete an objective, and a tool was something you use to collect, view or edit, information;  for example a laptop. I think I'm pretty clear on the "TOOL" definition. But not so much on the "SYSTEM" and "PROCESS" - lot's of opinions on the difference between the 2 where I'm at. Anyone out there have any good descriptions on the difference or meaning of these 2 words. Thanks Smjaala 22:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Depending on how you see it, a program like Word can be all three. It can be a system if you see it as a way of working with information (as opposed to plain text for example). But it can also be a process in the computing sense, as a program that is allocated time on the processor. And it can be a tool because it is a means by which the user does a certain task. 'Tool' and 'application' actually mean very similar things. —CodeCat 15:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

 * At a glance, I'd say that Excel and Word are tools that you employ in various parts of your processes. Systems would be how your department has decided to organize your tools and processes, or how you might propose to reorganize them. A laptop or server is an intermediate part of a system, because you need it to enable a collection of tools.

 * But you could apply these categorizations differently. Just make a sensible organization of these things, using a clear diagram or outline. —Michael Z. 2011-12-15 16:16 z

Archiving this page
400K of this page was just archived. The problem is, the rft tags don't seem to have taken off any of the pages, and many of them were not resolved; it would be good to see if we can resolve some of them or decide they don't need resolution before they just disappear.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

 * WT:TR items don't 'officially' require resolution.
 * If the original poster and those responding aren't motivated to resolve it, then who else is to say that there is something to resolve?
 * I'm sure it would be somewhat fruitful to review all the TR archives, compare the items discussed with the current state of the entry, post a link to the archive on the talk page, and make whatever changes still seemed appropriate.
 * Perhaps the tags will remind someone to check the talk page for the link, the archives if it is unlinked, etc. DCDuring TALK  23:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

 * When I bring something to TR, I am motivated to resolve it, but if I knew how to resolve it, I wouldn't have brought it to TR. I'm not happy with implication that it's more important to have 3 citations then for a definition to be correct. Lastly, I don't think dead links encourage anyone but very regulars to search the archives.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:47, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Being human we forget things; we leave things unresolved at the Tea Room (or Grease Pit, or?) for someone else to clean up; when faced with a page so large that it seems to take forever to load, we expeditiously and uncaringly empty the page of material older than six months; and we complain about the extra work required to dig up old ideas, which will otherwise be yet more completely wasted time. Sigh. DCDuring TALK 01:19, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a thread in the Beer Parlour about that... splitting discussion pages by month so that they don't grow so big anymore. 01:42, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * While tea room items don't "require" resolution, it is annoying to see a tag on an entry saying "The Tea Room is currently discussing this word" only to find that the tea room hasn't been discussing this word for months or even years. And the recent archiving wasn't of material older than six months, it was of material older than one and a half months (everything up through May) which doesn't take the facts on the ground (that discussions at Wiktionary proceed at a glacial pace compared to Wikipedia) into consideration. —Angr 17:23, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Suppose that a discussion is resolved. What then? Am I allowed to remove a discussion from this page and archive it to the talk-page (even though that means it won't end up in the tea-room archives)? —Ruakh TALK 17:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Cutting and pasting into each entry talk page seems like a time-consuming procedure unless there is some reliably automated or supervised semi-automated method. And there is something to be said for the 'integrity' of the Tea Room archive, especially now that it is searchable.
 * I've come to like the idea of putting a link to the archived discussion section on the talk page of the entry, though it is a little time-consuming. It can be done relatively speedily for a month's worth. Is there or could there be a template that automagically gave the headword (the principal namespace pagename) to complete a section link? That would make it even faster and convenient for someone following the link. If someone wanted to continue the discussion on the talk page they could copy all or part of the archived discussion to the talk page. DCDuring TALK 18:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean magic words? You can use or SUBPAGENAME or FULLPAGENAME or whatever you happen to want. Even better, if you're willing to do the work, I'll make a template that will make it pretty fast (but I bet you that somebody knows an AWB or Python solution that would make it faster). --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 11:30, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to do some of the work of applying this, for example to 2012 archived discussions. Eventually we could go back to earlier years that followed the same archive-page naming convention. I had imagined a template that had a given archive subpage as an argument and could be subst'ed at the bottom of an entry's talkpage. It would be nice to include a user-friendly identifier like month and year of the discussion in the talk page heading, eg, "==Tearoom discussion March 2012==" . This would both help users directly and serve to distinguish multiple discussions. As we don't want discussions to continue in the archive, we might want to provide some kind of message to encourage anyone interested in trying to continue the discussion to do so on the talk page. DCDuring TALK 12:45, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I made Template:oldtearoom, so put in whatever wording you like best and try it out somewhere. I'm tired, so it might have stupid bugs, but this is approximately what you wanted, right? Minor note: it's easy to make it take the month number instead, or the first three letters, or the name in lowercase, or whatever you want. Just say the word. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 14:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Turkish day names
Although this place seems rather orphaned (last post nearly exactly one year ago), I should try anyway: e. g. cumartesi. Don't the Turks always write their day names with a capital letter? Pazar, Carşamba, Perşembe ... So I wonder if we shouldn't change the lemma(ta) so that it/they start with a capital letter. -andy 77.190.61.155 13:01, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Usually people would post this discussion at Tea room, not here on the talk page. I’m not sure about the Turkish capitalization. Turkish Wiktionary has it with lowercase: tr:cumartesi. If the days should in fact be capitalized, then of course the names should be moved to the capitalized forms...but I’m not sure that is the best Turkish practice. —Stephen (Talk) 13:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Etymology of the Word "Dysthymia"
The article says "Dysthymia" comes from the greek δυσθυμία, supposedly meaning "melancholy". But no, δυσθυμία means "bad inner fire" or "bad anima". "Melancholy" comes from the greek μελανχολία, which refers to that state of being which is associated with black bile (μελανία (black) χολή (bile)), i.e. depression. Yes, Depression, Dysthymia, and Melancholy may be somewhat (very?) synonymous with one another, but that doesn't mean we should confuse their etymologies. I wanted to say something on the Talk Page, but a warning prompt told me to post in the Tea Room where it would have a better chance of being read. I would edit it myself, but I don't think that's my place, having just seen the error and having been not a registered user with any history of constructive editing in the past.
 * Nowhere in the etymology it is saying that melancholy comes from δυσθυμία. “Bad anima” is the meaning of the parts that form the word, not necessarily its actual meaning. — Ungoliant (Falai) 03:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for drawing our attention to the etymology of dysthymia. This is the right place.  I have revised the gloss in the etymology in accordance with Liddell and Scott, available online through the Perseus project. DCDuring TALK  04:10, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it isn't the right place. This is the talk page for the Tea room, not the Tea room itself. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Even the tea room isn't the right place; the Etymology scriptorium is. —Angr 18:37, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It's a good thing that anons never have any questions about Etymologies because what we ask of them is not exactly conducive to ease of contribution. They would have had to have heard of the Etymology scriptorium or known to look for such a thing despite the talk page directing them to the Tea Room. They would have to decode what a scriptorium was supposed to be.
 * It would seem like a good idea to add the ES to what is displayed atop empty Talk pages. I suppose we should do something similar, though briefer, and removable at Preferences, for non-empty Talk pages. DCDuring TALK 20:48, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Forshame/foreshame.
The page for forshame lists it as obsolete, as in 'not likely to be understood' in terms of 'i am ashamed' but i would argue that this is incorrect. Just because the definition of obsolete places it more strongly than dated or archaic.

Whilst it is not in common everyday use i would say archaic would be more accurate (i just used it on facebook for chrissakes, i was just googling to check if it were one word or two), especially as it does pop up in movies etc every now and again.
 * Are you sure you didn't use the interjection "for shame!" rather than the verb "to forshame"? —Angr 20:51, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

gash (noun)
Most dicts seem to agree that the core meaning is a deep cut in flesh, with (the metaphor of?) devastating damage to the landscape or built surroundings being secondary. It's especially egregious to pick a usage of the second kind as the sole example of the noun. --Jerzy•t 02:58, 18 July 2014 (UTC) Whoops! --Jerzy•t 03:05, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes. I'm going to copy and paste what I already wrote and quoted, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/freemasonry#English I wanted to include the definition of Freemasonry as the organization everybody knows in the lower case freemasonry entry, but I was reverted, and the user said that should only go in the capitalized Freemasonry entry. But I've even seen the organization spelled with a lower case f before in writings. I gave an example on the user's talk page who reverted me. Should the organization go in the definition under the lower case f or only the upper case F? --PaulBustion88 (talk) 22:31, 24 April 2015 (UTC) This is the example I gave of it being spelled with a lower case f and how I then used that to argue it could be spelled that way, I wrote "For example, in George Bush the Bush hating, Freemasonry hating authors Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin wrote about Freemasonry with a lower case f, "After the French elections, it was Bush who was despatched to France to meet the new French President Francois “Tonton” Mitterrand of the Grand Orient freemasonry." "In all of this the freemason Bush shares the obsession of the Anglo-American elite, who are committed to destroying the papacy as one of the few institutions in the world that has dared to resist their Malthusian proposition that the central problem of humanity is overpopulation."http://tarpley.net/online-books/george-bush-the-unauthorized-biography/chapter-17-the-attempted-coup-detat-of-march-30-1981/ "There was at that time a deep suspicion of, and national revulsion against, freemasonry and secret organizations in the United States, fostered in particular by the anti-masonic writings of former U.S. President John Quincy Adams." "Beyond the psychological manipulation associated with freemasonic mummery, there are very solid political reasons for Bush’s strong identification with this cult."http://tarpley.net/online-books/george-bush-the-unauthorized-biography/chapter-7-skull-and-bones-the-racist-nightmare-at-yale/ "then came the endorsement of G. William Whitehurst of Virginia, an endorsement that stood out for its freemasonic overtones in a field where freemasonic modulations were rife." http://tarpley.net/online-books/george-bush-the-unauthorized-biography/chapter-13-bush-attempts-the-vice-presidency-1974/ The authors there spelled freemasonry lower case to many times for it to have been a typo. So I think that it is spelled lower case sometimes."--PaulBustion88 (talk) 03:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Enunciation
Enunciation is about articulating the correct grammar inflection of prosody through using pronunciation speaking and sounding the correct IPA sounds for the phoneme and syllable according to whether it is a noun subject or a verb action of the subject depending on the stress of the word, if it is a subject noun then a person will stress and elongate through enunciation and prosody (the melodic quality) of the phoneme syllable that is primary for a noun subject the first syllable,and for the same word used as a verb it has the secondary syllables and phonemes elongated and stressed to inflect and pronounce and articulate the prosaic melody of the stress for semantic meaning so that when people hear the word they know whether it is a subject or a verb.

~Krista Kaufman

This needs added to the definitions for clarity and understanding of the use of enunciation.

I did not alter the page as I am still having difficulty with the formatting and programming of wikipedia.

Instead of one big talk page, tea room why not have a discussion page area where people can type or paste the correct information and then people who are great at computer use formatting of wiki pages can use it to include and fix pages.

Then it is directly attached to the exact page where it needs to be.

On editing existing articles
I would like to edit an article but I am not sure how my edit(s) will be perceived. It has to do with the etymology of a word. There are several speculations but nothing is conclusive. Currently, there is only one definition present in this wiktionary page and it does not include that we don't really know the etymology of the word. Should I start a conversation on the talk page before editing the main entry? Should I make the changes and then explain my reasoning on the talk page? Also currently on this wiktionary page, there are no sources displayed. Should I ask for the reliable sources of the existing? Should I have reliable sources before doing anything else? Btw, it is about this entry: https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%84%CE%BD%CE%B8%CF%81%CF%89%CF%80%CE%BF%CF%82 Obviously, I'm new here. --PhantomPower48 (talk) 14:14, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

LOL

Etymology
Acronyms. Laugh Out Loud abbreviation apparently and first attested in 1989.

Interjection

 * 1)  Laughing (or laugh) out loud.
 * 2)  Lots of laughs.
 * 3)  Lots of love.
 * 1)  Lots of love.

Usage notes
Typically, lowercase "" is used for the diluted sense of the word (to indicate light-heartedness), while uppercase "LOL" is used more literally. Sentence case Lol is sometimes seen on social media platforms which automatically capitalize the first word of any sentence, but is otherwise uncommon.

Especially the lowercase lol is sometimes reduplicated, in such a manner as "lololol", "lolololol", and so on (typically ending with an l) for further emphasis on the laughter.

Yet, as with other expressions of emotion, the intensified forms can also be used to express insincere or exaggerated laughter:
