What’s the significance of the dignitary and how would it contribute? I thought of showing a head of state around a building or a government minister. I really like a building. What are some examples?

Led by an officer who represents the dignitary; the person shows them round and informs the dignitary; the information flows in the direction you need, but the dignitary has the higher social status as you require. In construction, projects, or any other important process, the guide is the project director or a senior military officer, or the owner of the building.

Consumable is the usual word. It differs from disposable and disposable because disposable items are discarded after use because they are contaminated rather than because they are worn out.

Consumable items wear out and last longer the less they have been used. How much time does it take to get for a hacksaw to wear out? It is not as important to use less paper than a ream of printer paper will last longer.

What does not prevent items being all of consumable, perishable and disposeable under the right circumstances but consumable is the word that would fit your requirement. Is this the word used for anything which wears out with use and cannot be repaired?

I believe that other languages have more specific words but I don’t believe that English does. When comparing different languages, think of the French ‘combien’ and the German ‘wieviel’ which are pretty much exact translations of each other but both translate to either ‘how much’ or ‘how many’ in English depending on whether the subject of the question is a count or a non-count noun?

‘Nowt’ is pretty widespread. It’s certainly part of Lincolnshire dialect (see under N of course), which takes it as far south as The Wash. Where is Derbyshire and Leicestershire? Could you get it further south than Leicestershire?

I cannot see myself to become an absolute perfectionist.

What is transitive verb with the meaning of “you are doing”? For example “Data compliance with the schema” Is it possible to force someone to follow a course

of action by

word constrain?

1. 1. What is the best way to learn new concepts? I Severely restrict the scope, scope, or activity of (1).

Why is a data type schema constraining itself? This would cover the process of checking for conformity and editing data until it actually conformed to the data. Obviously there are dangers in using code to amend data in this way but the word does describe what you are doing.

Part of the difficulty is that a general word meaning “capable of being used as a container” would be tautological in most, if not all, cases. Nouns for things which can contain something such as ‘canister’, ‘envelope’, ‘box’, ‘drawer’, ‘vase’ and so on carry the connotation that they can contain something.

As an example, a ‘fillable’ canister is different from an unfillable one only in that it is not already full, sealed or damaged beyond use.

• If it is full its potential to be used as a container is being utilised to its maximum extent.
• If it is under-used but sealed its potential is being used but someone has decided that the object it contains must be protected in some way.
• (if there is any empty plastic container that does not have a seal)?
• If it’s empty and damaged beyond use it is an exception to the general class of canisters and so is described as “an unusable canister”, flattened canister, or some other description that indicates it cannot carry out the function implied by its designation as “a canister”.

Unless someone can come up with a noun which identifies something which is not inherently capable of being used as a container but, under certain circumstances can be used as a container there seems to be no need for a general word meaning “capable of being used as a container” so it probably does not exist.

There are many words in English which are close synonyms of break, but most of these have slightly different emphases. In this case the words fractured and broken are used as the implication that the object is not yet falling apart for a solid reason. If the object contains

a solid and is falling apart, the term “Fractured” is incorrect or both.

In some contexts, though perhaps not the one in your example, you could say that you were a perfectionist. Who could not leave uncompleted job or work? I’ve never had time to go bathroom unattended, so I kept it secretly. Maybe someone who would clean their kitchen cupboards with a toothbrush and not go out in the evening because they hadn’t finished it!

Can you quote in an interview for me?

The term portmanteau word is attributed to Lewis Carrol (Charles Dodgson) and describes a word formed by ‘packing’ the meanings of two words into a different one and involves truncation. The meaning for this is the word that was originally created in 1786 by Henry James. Thus ‘Motel’ is a portmanteau word (from Motor and Hotel) but ‘Grapefruit’ is not (it’s a compound)

What is this pincer actually about? It’s a compound word that, interestingly, existed before pineapples were known to English speaking people and meant what we now refer to as a pine cone. Some examples of etymology can

be found here.

If a river flows north or south or a road runs south and north (since most roads run both ways) it is coincident with a line of longitude by definition. It is almost certainly coincident with a line of longitude with fractional numbers of degrees (eg 0 degrees 47.37) 32 min) but it is still a line of longitude. So it can be said to be longitudinal. A road or river running east-west would be latitudinal, However north-south of east-west for roads and north-flowing, south-flowing and so on are much more common and likely to be understood.

How can I break up this rather over-long sentence using paired comma to make the phrase with no previous experience parenthetical? Your like this: The program is

designed for multi-generations of guests, with no previous experience, to easily and safely explore the sea floor (or an aquarium) on an expertly guided tour.

What is the best way to break up this sentence myself?

Although my sentence is a little longer it better separates the descrition of the target group from the description of the tour. Both are very different concepts, but as both are relatively easy to

understand.
