Talk:further

Oops
"[Further is the] comparative form of far: more far" is an error; see 'Farther'.
 * "It is further away" means the same as "It is farther".

"Further" is to increase position without specifying geographical direction: "She has gone further than her classmates" implies accomplishment rather than travel away from school. "Farther", the opposite of 'nearer', means to increase the geographical distance: 'Farther down the road from Baltimore to Richmond than DC'.

Despite the popular 'descriptive school', the science of language should be proscriptive and normative to increase the effectiveness of language rather than descriptive of the least competent use (popular TV) as though it were legitimate, much less effective.  Careful use allows more meaning (the essence of life) to be shared. Careless use turns all vowels into schwas, and makes every sentence ambiguous; good for comedians and lawyers, bad for the rest of us.  --Wikidity 02:03, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Much to the contrary, it is the prescriptive school that is popular, while the descriptive one is scientific. Language has been coping with ambiguity for millenia; it develops its own techniques to get rid of ambiguity when it considers that necessary. And if you think that schwas are careless, then we should abolish the English language all the way, because none other among the world's languages is and has been so inclined to turning vowels into schwas. 90.186.170.236 21:21, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Further/Farther?
What's the difference between these two words? I know that further is more commonly used, and typically is used more in a verbal sense than farther, but the difference seems to be a fine line and it would be good if it was defined. -- 60.234.132.245 11:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sure that farther/farthest are not used in the UK that might be one thing but I've heard both on US TV programs before.--Williamsayers79 21:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The bartleby.com link above explains it pretty well, I think. http://www.lessontutor.com/eesfarther.html is further (heh) evidence.  Seems like "farther" is a comparison of things that can be measured in meters, and "further" is used for everything else, though perhaps that's slightly oversimplified.  In the US, I these words tend to be used interchangeably, leading to considerable confusion.  Infinoid 15:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * They are distinguished by some (I would say by careful writers, but that's just my opinion) in the US. Strunk and White says "These two words are commonly interchanged, but there is a clear distinction worth observing: farther serves best as a distance word, further as a time or quantity word. You chase a ball farther than the other fellow; you pursue a subject further." (Strunk, William, and E. B. White. 1979. Elements of style. 3d ed., 46-47. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co.) --Ishi Gustaedr 21:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sure "not used in the UK" is a bit exaggerated, but I also feel that "farther" is pretty rare. Homophony with "father" likely plays a role. Of course the two words are unlikely to be confused, but it nevertheless reinforces "further". 92.218.236.54 17:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Missing another adverb sense...
...as in "This legislation needs to be further developed." ---> Tooironic 01:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. I have read people use further in time, not only further in space.--24.128.79.230 22:45, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Transportation
The reason I changed your edit is that there is nothing American about this use of the word. It is used with this sense everywhere, it is indeed the primary meaning of the word. Widsith 12:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Widsith, thanks for your explanatory note. I'm surprised to hear about the consensus on the usage of Transportation; we certainly don't use it in that sense around here. Perhaps it would be helpful, instead of just reverting changes, if you were to expand the article to discuss the point head on, with references of course. -- OrangUtanUK 16:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I have added some example sentences, which hopefully makes it clearer. Widsith 16:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW; request the full history import instead, at WT:ID. Note: this can apply to templates to be copied over, as well. --Connel MacKenzie 16:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Connel MacKenzie 16:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

"of the essence" should be treated here

"of the essence" ~ Of the greatest importance; crucial -Time is of the essence (such a common expression I added it under 'time') -Timing is of the essence -Speed is of the essence (also a very common expression) -Creativity is of the essence -Freedom is of the essence -Continuity is of the essence -In chess, cool nerves are of the essence -International cooperation is of the essence -The right to vote freely for the candidate of one’s choice is of the essence of a democratic society -The continuous deformation from one map to the other is of the essence -In any case, it is of the essence to preserve our towns and to 'keep' their guardian genii.

AND HERE: "of the essence of" seems to talk more about the character or nature of a thing -It is of the essence of the ghost in general to be frightening -It is of the essence of sealing that it is unmistakable when it is given...

BUT HERE "of the essence of" Here the meaning is not as clear... Caution/audacity is crucial in Science? Or that part of the nature of science is caution/audacity? -Caution is of the essence of science, everyone used to say. So Popper said that audacity is of the essence of science, and that, of two theories equal in other respects, the bolder is the better.

Etymology of this expression?

 * See of the essence. Widsith 17:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Modern French
This come from Modern French? Sounds a little unlikely. That would suggest it doesn't appear in Middle English or very early Modern English. Does it? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:00, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:schizophrenia

Divergent but valid colloquial definition
The current entry cites, somewhat incompletely, a clinical definition of schizophrenia. There exists a parallel, colloquial understanding of the term which cannot simply be ignored and dismissed as 'incorrect' because, quite apart from the dictionary's role of recording current usage, it has clinical validity, describing a condition of internal conflict/paradox which may be seen as having serious consequences, either for the individual in question, or those under his or her influence. Thus a lover might describe his or her partner as 'schizophrenic' when the latter's inconstancy becomes too much to bear, or a disgruntled employee may react similarly to a pattern of conflicting reports or instructions. This is not necessarily equivalent to an informal diagnosis of 'dissociative identity disorder': lay people do not have the role nor the status of diagnosticians. They are simply using the clinical term in the way which makes the most sense from their perspective, to describe a real, practical, psychological problem encountered at work or in personal relationships. It is not a clinical term, used in this way, for they are not clinicians, much as they might claim to have identified a clinical problem which diagnosticians fail to address. There thus seems to be an area here of 'para-clinical para-diagnosis.' The mentality underlying the individual thus labelled could be explained in terms of a number of psychological possibilities, ranging from bad mental habits and indecision, thru to inconstancy and outright deceit - or, on the other hand, the description could of course be unjust and undeserved - but it doesn't alter the basic validity of the term as used in this somewhat open-ended (from a clinician's perspective), inconclusive fashion. --Londheart 00:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Etc~enwiktionary

Hi there. The convention in the English Wiktionary is that only English words have a ===Translations=== section. Foreign words have a translation into English instead of a definition (normally). Here is our standard welcome text. SemperBlotto 10:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Latin Translation
As a learning tool, I am translating the Lord of the Rings into Latin. However, I am very inexperienced with the language. I was wondering- would you be willing to check over the little I've translated so far? I am concerned with my word usage, as well as the grammar. Here is the first sentence, to give you an example-

 * English- This book is largely concerned with Hobbits, and from its pages a reader may discover much of their character and a little of their history.

 * Latin- Hic liber Hobbites pertinens maxime, et ex paginis lector characteris multus eorum et historiae aliquod eorum cognoscat.

If you would be willing to help, I would be very grateful. | Scio (talk) 23:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Etc. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Etc~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:geodesic dome

This is a link to a Geodesic Dome under construction. It is upated almost everyay. It has over 50 photo albums of it beong built an 1000's of pictures. Enjoy it's progress and see what builing one consists of. This is "not" a commercial site.

The Dome is 45 feet wie and 37 feet high. It will withstand a 200 mile an hour winds plus a 10 foot snow load. It is insulate to R54. It uses 1/3 less heat, air conitioning, and material. It runs on geothermal most of the time. It has solar enegy collectors and solar hot water boosters.

It is a good way to lessen the creation of Green House Gasses. We live in it as we build it. It is in the mile of a forest on the side of a mountain.

Lightweight
Should this definition include "lightweight" as a necesseity for being a geodesic dome? If you built the characteristic geometric system out of lead, it would still be a geodesic dome.

 * The point is that the weight of the dome is much lower than more traditional designs of the same height or volume. It might be rephrased somehow, but I think it is reasonably concise as it is.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:she-bear

I think the preferred term for a female bear (although not preferred by myself personally) is "sow". --24.236.139.111 23:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Is phrase she-bear really used as separate word or is it most common way of making female forms? (so that every word can be added she at the beginning) ~

And does word bearess mean female bear? Paweł ze Szczecina 14:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * If you added she- to any similar animal then the sense would be understood. But few are used much. she-devil is in most dictionaries. bearess does not seem to exist. she-bear may have been added as a way of introducing the translations, as many other languages differentiate the sex of an animal with a different ending (e.g. gatto / gatta in Italian). SemperBlotto 14:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

You can add she- to anything, but it sounds a little dated or literary – normally you would just say ‘a female X’. Many animals have specific terms for the female of the species – but bear does not, as far as I know, so she-bear is probably the closest English gets to a one-word term.

 * August 17 2009, The Berenstain Bears: "He Bear, She Bear"
 * That's unprecise. Was it a book released on that day or an TV series episode shown on that day? Also the spelling is different ("She Bear" vs. "she-bear").
 * Pre-2009, an episode of The Simpsons, husband to wife: "no one understands you she-bear!"
 * That had a youtube link with it, but the video got blocked "on copyright grounds". Anyway, that's unprecise too.
