arrant

Etymology
A variant of, from , from , from , the  of , and then:

 * from (compare 🇨🇬, ), from, ultimately from ; and
 * from, the   of , ultimately from.

The original sense was sense 3. Due to the word being used to describe disreputable persons who wandered about (for example, arrant knave and arrant thief), it came to be used as an (sense 1: “complete; downright; utter”) and to have a negative meaning (sense 2: “very bad; despicable”).

Usage notes
Although arrant is a variant of, their modern meanings have diverged. Arrant is used in the sense “complete; downright; utter” (for example, “arrant knaves”), while errant means “roving around; wandering” and is often used after the noun it modifies (for example, “knight errant”). The use of errant to mean “complete; downright; utter”, and arrant to mean “roving around; wandering”, is obsolete.

Template talk:en-infl-reg-sibilant

"third person singular simple present" is dauntingly verbose. I've never heard it worded quite this way though it gets a few Google hits. What is a casual dictionary user going to make of it? "3rd person singular present" is as simple as I can think of and even that's too wordy.

Far less importantly, why invent yet another order for the forms? I think does-did-done-doing is probably the most common order so far. — Hippietrail 08:31, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Originally, the words were just listed, without parts of speech, or even commas. Two editors expressed a preference for parts of speech.  As for what casual dictionary users are going to do: They are going to understand it, far more than they would without that text there.  This is for the simple reason that the assertion that simple present/simple past/past participle/present participle is the order that will be automaticlaly understood and conventionally used is in fact false.  Without the text, casual dictionary readers won't know which order we've chosen to employ, because orders vary.  The order that you give is not the order that everyone everywhere uses.  (English verbs uses the same ordering as in these templates, for example.)  It's certainly not the order that everyone will automatically understand, without labels.  (Indeed, paper dictionaries explicitly label inflections for the same reason that inflections are labelled in these templates.)  Even within Wiktionary orders vary.  Part of the problem that these templates address is that there wasn't a uniform order in Wiktionary.  Indeed, many articles even omitted one or more of the inflections.  I think that "third person singular simple present" is not too wordy.  Uncle G 12:27, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

 * There seem to be more conclusions than justifications in your response. How can you declare that casual dictionary users will understand "third person singular simple present"? Specifically, what does the "simple" mean? Not complex? Not complicated? Not subjunctive? I think that it's not only too wordy, it's also confusing.
 * Re ordering, my words were "probably most common", not "that everyone everywhere uses". But as I've said, this is of very little importance, especially when the forms are labeled. — Hippietrail 03:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I also find this a bit troublesome. On the one hand, using templates makes sense here for several reasons.  On the other hand, the present expansion is a bit too much.  But back on the first hand, it's easy to experiment.

 * Ideally, expansions of templates could be configurable much as stylesheets are. If I like just talk, someone else likes talk, talks, talked, talked and someone else likes something like the present expansion, we should be able to choose what we like.  This is much easier if the data are tagged, either using templates or some other markup.

 * Even more ideally, the Wiktionary data model would know about this sort of tagging directly, without recourse to templates.

 * Back in the real world, I'd like to tone this down a bit, to something more like:

talk, third person talks, past talked, past participle talked

 * This conveys about as much information as the previous, without bringing in moods (should we mention subjunctive as well) and other heavier machinery. -dmh 7 July 2005 22:13 (UTC)

 * Hmm, well for starters, you missed out the gerund/progressive form :). I don't like 'past', but otherwise, I like the reduction in size that you have there. Instead of 'past' I would suggest 'preterite', but that's a bit less simple for your average user. And, as a minor niggle, I like the brackets around the inflections. --Wytukaze 7 July 2005 22:42 (UTC)

 * The gerund/progressive is completely regular (except perhaps for disputes over consonant doubling in cases like targeting/targetting, focusing/focussing etc., and this matches the past). Even be becomes being.  I'm not greatly concerned about that, though, nor past vs. preterite (though I prefer "past").

 * However, I very much dislike wikifying the regular inflections. The links are almost never there, and for good reason: they're not idiomatic.  When they are there, they're often just redirects back to the stem form.  It's particularly annoying and confusing to chase a link and silently end up back where you started. -dmh 7 July 2005 22:51 (UTC)

 * Hello! Hadn't noticed this conversation earlier.  dmh, you have made that point before.  I know *I* have tried to comply with your wishes on this matter: rarely now are mere #REDIRECTs entered that point back.  I think even WS:ELE may have said not to do that now.  But the pronunciation of them can very easily be different.  The translations will certainly be different (in conjugation, at least.)  The interwiki links will certainly be different.  Are you saying you dislike the ===Verb form=== style entries?  (I won't even mention "all words in all languages" just yet.)  I have not yet decided if it is worth a separate cleanup task to programatically list all words that are only a #REDIRECT to an entry that points back to themselves.  Are you suggesting they should each be nominated on  ?  --Connel MacKenzie 7 July 2005 23:03 (UTC)

 * I'm not adamantly against entries for regular inflections. For example, I notice you have a some pages under your user page where you bring in text and wikify it.  It's then easy to see which links are red and which aren't.  What makes sense to me in such a case is to have, say, talks redirect to talk, and have all the information concentrated there.  The spellings for the plural form would not be wikified, but translations of the stem form should be.  In other words, if I want to translate talks into Dutch, I look up talks, get redirected to talk, find the translation praten, discussie or whatever, and thence know to use praat (?), discussies or whatever.

 * The advantage to this is that when someone adds a new sense of talk (e.g., gossip or rumor, as in "there is talk of a rebellion"), then the translation gets put in one place. Otherwise, the entries for talks, talked and talking have to be kept in sync and somehow note which inflected translation goes with which sense of the stem (in the example, the new sense wouldn't be carried over to talks, since it's uncountable, nor to talked and talkiing, since it's a noun sense, but in other cases it would be ). -dmh 8 July 2005 16:14 (UTC)

 * Yes dmh, that's an attractive scheme, to use redirects. I only have one problem with it - I'd prefer "soft redirects" (=See also:s) since one word often can be an inflected form of multiple different stems. One of the worst example I have ready at the moment in Swedish is the word "kors", which not only is a stem in itself, but also an inflection of two different words (kor and ko). \Mike 8 July 2005 16:31 (UTC)
 * Yikes. I suppose English has a similar situation in does (third person of do, plural of doe, though not a stem in its own right).  I think the entry for does is about right (except for a little formatting that I'm about to tweak).  The key is that the bulk of the information is at do and doe, while only things like spelling and pronunciation are at does. -dmh 9 July 2005 17:26 (UTC)

Etymology

Wiktionary:Policy Think Tank on American or British Spelling/discussion archive

Policy discussion moved to Spelling Variants in Entry Names - Draft Policy--Richardb 07:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Archive of Previous discussions on this topic
Mainlyfrom Beer Parlour, in no particular order.

American English Spelling (22/May/2005)
It would be useful to have a convention on spelling with regard to American and British English (and others). There seems to have been some discussion before (color/colour). The current situation is annoys me. Why don't we simply vote on this and see what the majority wants? Ncik 29 Apr 2005
 * Here's an idea: Whichever one is first in the alphabet is the one that has the main entry, and the other gets an American/British form of word --Wonderfool 14:32, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. That's what I decided to do on la: when making the article for sulfur. (I also made the title show both variants, but that's not so easy on en:) —Muke Tever 23:53, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Aha, this is interesting, as it almost always puts the American spelling first ("-or" comes before "-our", "-er" comes before "-re" and "f" comes before "-ph-"; about the only spelling difference in which the UK English spelling comes first is "-ence"/"-ense" – "-ise"/"-ize" doesn't really count as UK spelling uses both of these). But that's more of an observation than an objection.
 * I'm still in favour of the idea of having the dual "color/colour" pages, with redirects from "color" and "colour" to this page. The words can be listed in alphabetical order on the dual page.  Special cases such as "gray" (scientific unit spelled this way universally) can be catered for by a note in the entry, along the lines of:

 * 3. (always spelled gray) A scientific unit.

 * Maybe it's time to reopen this discussion, have a(nother) vote on it and then implement it. Nothing has been done.  This issue isn't going to go away and lie down quietly. — Paul G 10:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know why but Wonderfool's proposal seems awkward to me. Maybe because I suppose one expects either British or American spelling, and that it wouldn't be easy to find out what the underlying rule is (probably more likely is that one wouldn't even suspect that a rule exists). Paul G should note that this is not only about entries (which are actually a minor problem since we provide information on alternative spellings) but mainly about stuff in other namespaces (e.g Category). Ncik 06 May 2005

There is only one solution: as there is only one true English language, we should follow those rules. That of course is British English. Why would we want to list a word under its American misspelling? I do not see the logic in doing that. --Zippanova 00:16, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hooray for NPOV! --Wytukaze 01:07, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

 * The only true English, as everyone knows, is Anglo-Saxon. The English wiktionary should contain only true Anglo-Saxon words, with new wiktionaries created for each of the 'impure' English derivatives. --HappyDog 18:16, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

 * The thing with these United States English/Commonwealth English differences, especially as far as Wiktionary is concerned, is that the words aren't the same. The usages are different and asymmetric (A recent example: United States English uses both theatre and theater, Commonwealth English uses almost solely theatre, albeit with theater creeping in due to U.S. cultural influences.), the meanings are sometimes different, and the etymologies and citations are certainly different (Many of the United States English words in such cases are coinages of Noah Webster.).  Having two different, non-identical, articles is often exactly the right thing to have, because it reflects reality.  Uncle G 23:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The decision whether to have (say) Category:English colours or Category:English colors is an entirely different one, driven by different considerations. Unfortunately, the MediaWiki software doesn't allow one to redirect to the other, which would be the best solution.  Uncle G 23:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If we propagate the categories with templates, both can be populated concurrently. E.g.  defined as "" and  defined as "" .  That way, whichever template you use would propagate both.  There has been significant resistance to templating categories in the past however.  --Connel MacKenzie 03:55, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Using UK/US spellings and vocabulary
Is there an official Wiktionary policy on favouring (or favoring) UK or US spellings and vocabulary in headwords and definitions? If Wiktionary were a "British" dictionary (I put British in quotation marks because Wiktionary has no geographical location) then we might have a page for, say, "humour" with full treatment of the word, and another for "humor" that was merely a cross-reference to "humour". Similarly, British spellings and vocabularywould be used in definitions (eg, "shop" rather than "store" in the definition of "grocer's", "stationer's", etc).

At the moment, because some contributors are British, some are American and some were taught English by British-English-speakers and some by American-English-speakers, inevitably they add pages for spellings and words in their own language, sometimes with and sometimes without cross-references to spellings used in the other country (and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, of course).

I think there is little point in duplicating entire pages for the sake of deleting or adding a 'u' ("humo(u)r"), so would suggest we have what I have described above (one full page for one spelling and another with just a cross-reference). But which would be the "default" version of English? Being British, I am biased towards British English, of course.

It could be said that it doesn't matter which page gets the full treatment, so we might have "humour" and "color" in full and "humor" and "colour" as the cross-references, but my feeling is that Wiktionary should be consistent. This is a bigger issue when it comes to differences in vocabulary - for example, a non-native speaker might have to visit "drugstore" if this is the definition given for "pharmacy" where they might otherwise have understood an equivalent definition ("a chemist's shop") written in British English.

This could get contentious, of course, and I have no desire to start a transatlantic flame or edit war. What do other Wiktionarians think, both about whether this is a problem or not and, if it is, how it might be solved? -- Paul G 12:15, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Did this ever get solved? I'm still avoiding adding definitions that differ in American and British English.

 * At the moment the solution is: if you see it added one way, you can always add a page that redirects with the other form. That way you'll always get to a page with the definition on. But as Paul said, it lacks consistency. Then again so do a lot of things on Wiktionary at the moment. What I'm finding more difficult is making the definitions themselves "international", because each definition is going to be written one way or the other. Some longer entries lack any consistency, since an American may have added them, then a British person edited them, and so on.

 * I think a standard would be nice, but who would decide on it? I want to know what people think too, or at least how we should handle this (or tell me if it's been sorted already). --Rob 17:49, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

 * It would be good to have a policy on this. It's probably worth point out that this is not a UK/U.S. thing but really a International English/U.S. thing. —Christiaan 20:40, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Not so. Most of Asia, and much of Eastern Europe, uses U.S. spelling. —Brian 01:44, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)

 * Apparently, this flamewar has moved to Beer parlour and Requests for deletion. --Connel MacKenzie 21:56, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know of a similar discussion for Wikipedia? I have a suggestion to make (which doesn't really tackle the wiktionary issue). --Splidje 11:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Category talk:English adjectives

Could adding words to categories like this be automated? Surely a routine that looked for ==English== and ===Adjective=== would cover it? 20.133.0.14 09:45, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Determiners are not adjectives
Traditional English grammar does not include determiners and calls most determiners adjectives. There are, however, a number of key differences between determiners and adjectives.

--BrettR 01:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) In English, articles, demonstratives, and possessive determiners cannot co-occur in the same phrase, while any number of adjectives are typically allowed.
 * 2) A big green expensive English book
 * 3) * The his book
 * 4) Articles cannot occur alone in complement position, adjectives can.
 * 5) He is happy.
 * 6) * He is the.
 * 7) Most determiners are not gradable, while adjectives typically are.
 * 8) happy, happier, happiest
 * 9) Adjectives cannot stand alone as a subject or object in a fused-head construction, while determiners typically can.
 * 10) Each likes something different.
 * 11) * Big likes something different.
 * 12) Adjectives are licensed independent of number, while many determiners are licensed only for singular or for plural nouns.
 * 13) a big person / big people
 * 14) many people / * many person
 * 15) Adjectives are never obligatory, while determiners often are.
