Asked on March 26, 2021 in Single word requests.
As
a noun and adjective, this is a logical order of insects. Includes
butterfly and moths. They have four large scale-covered wings that bear distinctive markings, and larvae that are caterpillars. I haven’t seen any of these before.
Butterflies flit from plant to plant to feed on nectar or deposit eggs, while moths generally are attracted to bright lights at night. I have not studied insects before but I am aware, now that no insects do research!
Google Books (only a scientific term): the term “lepidopteran” has always been used in a scientific context. On page 134 of insect pest management, we note that:
There are no recorded examples of vertical resistance to lepidopteran pests which has a strong flight capability…
The metaphoric use of the term to describe people who post very similar questions asking for the same words without doing any previous research has no precedent. And I can’t figure out why. Oh no,
here’s another Lepidopteran post.
How would you define a “self”, someone said: “in such a short word, what is a common sense” and “the following are the standards”.

Asked on March 8, 2021 in Grammar.
In the original questions and comments, have two separate “fraction” issues emerged.
- Why is the verb plural?
Which reason can a fraction take the same plurality as the thing it modifies? In the context of the present question, “the land” is singular therefore it’s appropriate to use the singular verb “has”.
- Why should a fraction are hyphenated?
What is fraction? In situations where a fraction is a noun, there should be no hyphen, while if a fraction is being used as an adjective to describe something else, it should be hyphenated; see the examples. You can
- use “Two-thirds share of the land” as an adjective modifier of a noun “share” .
If the Q3.a question calls for a fraction without the hyphen, then may we
retrace the current form without a hyphen?

Asked on February 28, 2021 in Other.
What
are incompatible
terms? 2 (Outer equipment, computer programs, etc.) not capable of being used in combination:
“all four prototype camcorders used special tapes and were incompatible with each other”
Your sentence would therefore be:
You cannot use Mac parts in a Windows computer because they are incompatible parts, as with the Apple products.
What is not a word starting with “s”, but it’s the most relevant, appropriate and commonly used one. I could not find the appropriate synonym to meet the “s-word” constraint, too!
Synonyms include :
unsuited, mismatched, ill-matched; ill-assorted; irreconcilable, conflicting, opposing, opposite, contradictory, antagonistic, antipathetic; clashing, inharmonious, discordant;
two persons can be of different views.
