Usage notes

 * "A/ kind(s) of X" is expressed as "en/ sort(er)s X," and "what kind(s) of X" as "vad för sorts X."
 * Though traditionally considered incorrect, many native speakers will intuitively let the noun after "sorts" determine the gender rather than "sort," for example saying "ett sorts hus" rather than "en sorts hus." See this question to Språket on Sveriges Radio.

Talk:point of the compass

I have never used this expression in English, I always use and mostly hear "compass point". This seems like a translation from a Romance language to me. Hippietrail 11:31, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Please make a new entry for compass point. I didn't know that existed. The disadvantage of having entries made by non native English speakers. Polyglot 12:52, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * I've heard "points of the compass" (plural) to refer to all the points collectively. But don't recall ever hearing the phrase used in the singular. "Compass point" (or just "point", if it's unambiguous) is used in that case. -- Ortonmc 16:11, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

point of the compass
I'm not really into what goes as "sum of parts" and not, but for me this really looks like a noun being the sum of its parts. --Eivind (t) 15:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh? It's not a literal sharp point on a drawing compass; it's one of the 16 cardinal directions marked on a navigational compass.  The definition could certainly be improved, but it's not merely SoP. --EncycloPetey 16:44, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree .... except that we already have compass point. How about a redirect, if you don't want to delete? -- Algrif 16:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, no-one said "point" is a "sharp point". "Compass point" is one of the definitons for "point", therefore I reckoned "point of the compass" must be the sum of its parts. --Eivind (t) 16:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Once one is talking about a compass, then isn't the specific sense of "point" obvious and, therefore, isn't it SoP? DCDuring TALK 17:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Either keep as is or redirect to compass point. You can’t translate point of the compass into other languages simply by the individual words, you have to look up the specific phrase (or compass point). —Stephen 17:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * To answer DCDuring's "point". :-) It is useful to distinguish the various meanings of N,S,E, and W. They can be geographical, magnetic, or compass points(for instance). So, although your argument is thought provokingly good, the term compass point is still needed, as there are situations where the compass has not been mentioned. However, I am behind you all the way if we are talking about point of the compass -- Algrif 18:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * delete or redirect (it's not a set phrase in the way that compass point is). Ƿidsiþ 12:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

redirect or keep. Point does mean 'a direction,' as in a 'point of sail,' but it's usage appears to be extremely rare in English outside of idiomatic usages. Yartrebo 02:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

No one seems to disagree with a redirect, so done. 72.177.113.91 21:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Someone should've though. undone. This could be kept as a set phrase, it does no harm. Conrad.Irwin 21:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * We do redirect for some idiomatic expressions, e.g. my/your in place of one's. I don't actually agree with the redirect here, it just seemed to be the consensus. 72.177.113.91 05:39, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Redirect. —Ruakh TALK 03:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

This is definitely not the sort of thing we usually redirect, but the people have spoken: Algrif, SGB, Widsith, Yartrebo, and Ruakh all agree to redirect, whereas only Conrad opposes (and 72.177.113.91 abstains/opposes). (EP and EivindJ and DCDuring did not specifically address the idea of redirecting.) Redirecting.—msh210 ℠  21:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:apology

The original def said one says something after doing something wrong to somebody one feels sorry for. Not necessarily true. Many an apology has been voiced by people (pollies in particular) who regret saying something because it has embarrassed them, but they are not the slightest bit sorry for the person they wronged. ValidUserName 02:09, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree, "regret" is a good way of putting it. Often an apology is given when the miscreant regrets getting caught, as opposed to when he regrets the offending act.  But when you edited the page, you somehow replaced all the Japanese and Korean characters with question marks.  You might want to check your browser/editor settings and make sure they're capable of handling non-ASCII characters. -- Ortonmc 03:18, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * That's a puzzle! I only edited the definition and nothing else. Can edits be made by software if I don't type them physically myself? What settings should I be looking for? ValidUserName 21:02, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi Valid, could you tell us what version of Windows and what version of internet explorer you are using? Maybe they are too old. You can either upgrade to Internet Explorer 6 or you can really go forward and download Mozilla from mozilla.org and install that. (Do we need NPOV in comments... :-) Polyglot 08:29, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

tea

Etymology 1
First appears c. 1655, in the writings of. From, from , from , ultimately from. Introduced to English and other Western European languages by the, who sourced their tea in ; compare 🇨🇬 along the same trade route. (and, distantly, the first element of ), from same Proto-Sino-Tibetan root; see discussion of cognates.

The word for “tea” in many languages is of Sinitic origin (due to China being the origin of the plant), and thus there are many cognates; see translations. These are from one of two proximate sources, reflected in the phonological shape: forms with a stop (e.g. ) are derived from Min Nan tê, while forms with a fricative (e.g. ) are derived from other Sinitic languages, like Mandarin chá or Cantonese caa4 (all written as ). Different languages borrowed one or the other form (specific language and point in time varied), reflecting trade ties, generally Min Nan tê if by ocean trade from Fujian, Cantonese caa4 if by ocean trade from Guangdong, or northern Chinese chá if by overland trade or by ocean trade from India.

Thus Western and Northern European languages borrowed tê (with the exception of Portuguese, which uses ; despite being by ocean trade, their source was in, not Amoy), while chá borrowings are used over a very large geographical area of Eurasia and Africa: Southern and Eastern Europe, and on through Turkish, Arabic, North and East Africa, Persian, Central Asian, and Indic languages. In Europe the tê/chá line is Italian/Slovene, Hungarian/Romanian, German/Czech, Polish/Ukrainian, Baltics/Russian, Finnish/Karelian, Northern Sami/Inari Sami. tê was also borrowed in European trade stops in Southern India and coastal Africa, though chá borrowings are otherwise more prevalent in these regions, via Arabic or Indic, due to earlier trade. The situation in Southeast Asia is complex due to multiple influences, and some languages borrowed both forms, such as Malay and.

egregious

Etymology
From, from , + , + English adjective suffix , from Latin suffix ; reflecting the positive connotations of "standing out from the flock".

Adjective

 * 1) Conspicuous, exceptional, outstanding; usually in a negative sense.
 * 2) * 16thC, Christopher Marlowe, Ignoto,
 * I cannot cross my arms, or sigh "Ah me," / "Ah me forlorn!" egregious foppery! / I cannot buss thy fill, play with thy hair, / Swearing by Jove, "Thou art most debonnaire!"
 * 1) * 22 March 2012, Scott Tobias, AV Club The Hunger Games
 * When the goal is simply to be as faithful as possible to the material—as if a movie were a marriage, and a rights contract the vow—the best result is a skillful abridgment, one that hits all the important marks without losing anything egregious.
 * 1) Outrageously bad; shocking.

 * When the goal is simply to be as faithful as possible to the material—as if a movie were a marriage, and a rights contract the vow—the best result is a skillful abridgment, one that hits all the important marks without losing anything egregious.
 * 1) Outrageously bad; shocking.
 * 1) Outrageously bad; shocking.

Usage notes
The negative meaning arose in the late 16th century, probably originating in ironic sarcasm. Before that, it meant outstanding in a good way. Webster also gives “distinguished” as an archaic meaning, and notes that contemporary usage often has an unpleasant connotation (for example, “an egregious error”). It generally precedes such epithets as, , , and. The Italian as well as Spanish cognate has retained a strictly positive sense, as has the Portuguese cognate.

Etymology
From, the name of the island on which Circe, a sorceress, lived.

Noun

 * 1) Magic.
 * 2) * 2001, Michael Griffith, Spikes
 * Several times in the last few days I've thought his insight has bordered on aeaeae, glamor, gramarye, magic...

Adjective
Discussion from RFV: Much loved by "weird word" lists. Can't see any usage though. Ƿidsiþ 13:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Magical.

 * At least the Greek origin seems to be correct. It’s a question of transliteration. On the Greek Wikipedia under el:w:Κίρκη: Η Κίρκη ζούσε στο νησί στο οποίο ήταν βασίλισσα, την Αιαία... (Circe lived on the island of Aiaia, where she became a queen...).

 * Not in the OED (checked today) ... The w:English words with uncommon properties list says: For the purposes of this article, any word which has appeared in a recognised general English dictionary published in the 20th century or later is considered a candidate. That is not the case - the only dictionary this seems to appear in is allwords.com ... but they pull their contents off from here.

Why "aeaeae"?
In Latin dictionaries (and also in Wikipedia) this name (it's a proper name) is listed as Aeaea. Aeaeae is genitive of it. Such words usually do not keep genitive when borrowing. 95.69.155.165 11:12, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It would make sense for this to be derived from the genitive, since this isn't about the island itself, but about something associated with it. It looks to me like a word coined by borrowing directly from the Latin form, so it doesn't follow the usual historical rules. At any rate, it's failed rfv and been deleted as a dictionary-only term, so it's moot anyway. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:27, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

User talk:ValidUserName

Hi. To answer your question (from Talk:Apology), yes, it is possible for the software you use to silently make edits without your knowing it. The most likely cause is using software that doesn't know how to deal with Unicode characters.

I got bitten by this once, when I used emacs to edit a page. Emacs (at least the version I have) doesn't do Unicode, and it replaced all the Chinese & Russian characters with question marks. If you're using emacs, vi, or any other ASCII-based application for editing, you'll likely run into this problem.

If you're just editing in the browser, I suppose the browser itself could be responsible. I use Opera 7, which has no problem, and a fairly recent version of Mozilla seemed OK, too (it didn't display foreign characters properly, but it also didn't change them when I edited the page). If you're running Windows, you might need to install the foreign language support. -- Ortonmc 04:04, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Talk:half-brother

Spelling
Is "half-brother" hyphenated? I've always seen it written "half brother" with no hyphen. If both forms are valid, I've no problem with having them both in Wiktionary. But in that case, perhaps it would be be better to indicate that they're alternate spellings and link between the two. -- Ortonmc 04:09, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Using dictionary.com and websters-dictionary-online.org I can find it hyphenated and unhyphenated but not consistently. I'd just make on a redirect to the another, plus the matching one for half-sister. Hippietrail 05:01, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
