  • According to arbitrary units, ancient words had centuries to be used as the basis for words and phrases. While the modern inch is from the 20th century. Inches of variable length are where they begin since the 1300s (the current spelling of inches is 2 1/2 inches long.034cm). Wikipedia says even a first occurrence from 700 AD.

    inch (n.c.a.d.) to 700. AD. 1)

    “linear measure one-twelfth of a foot,” late Old English ynce, Middle English unche (current spelling c.1415). 1300) – Etymonline

    The verb is from a lot later:

    inch (v.)

    1590s, “move little by little” (intrans.), from inch (n.1). ( -n”1,1′.’), from inch (n.01); () Meaning “drive or force in smaller degrees” is from 1660s. – Etymonline

    If the two words are actually imperial and not pre-imperial, both must continue to exist and are remade. (like “Jeanne”) Imperial units have been established exclusively in the nineteenth century. Is the categorization a verb as an imperial unit verb?

    There a few metrical words, like the verb to meter, which has already been appropriated by the usage in parking meters for example. Given the length of words for the smaller metrical units, it is unlikely inching will be replaced anytime soon.

    Since the definition of verb of dictionaries doesn’t even refer to inches (anymore? I would consider the verb non-imperial already. Is the verb not new for the British imperial system or older is it given the English octiom as an English imperial system?

    My vision is perfect. inch VERB 1 Do you want to move along slowly and carefully? – ODO

    Conclusion

    Using inching perfectly okay and there is no math associated with it that will let your spaceships crash.

  • An enthusiastic person displays intense interest in something ( for example, skydiving enthusiast about what they like in general) (see examples). A fanatic is not only intense and eager but possibly irrational in her enthusiasm; fanatic suggests extreme devotion and a willingness to go to any length to nurture that enthusiasm ( a fly-fishing fanatic who hired a helicopter to reach his favorite stream). What does a religious zealot exhibit when supporting a cause or a cult? Can someone be considered an extremist if they considered them a threat to the overthrow of the government? What does a bigot do about his beliefs? In contrast to fanatic and zealot, the term bigot implies intolerance and contempt for those who don’t agree ( a bigot that couldn’t accept his daughter’s decision to marry him outside her faith).

    • Does Bigot have an Oxford dictionary?

    Personally most people I would describe as a bigot do act and discuss as if they think everyone who does not agree is stupid &/or like a joke.

    On the other hand the word has very negative connotations which might overstate what you want to call a person as you are asking about.

    Right now I’d like to put too dogmatic. Oxford Dictionary

    I would possible describe someone who acts as described in the question about something like engineering principles a dogmatist.

    Since the dogma leading to the life and career of the person is unquestionably true, every other conclusion is also right (as the dogmatist doesn’t accept the conclusion) and irrational (if it’s about something believed to be untrue). Admittedly that might not fulfil the ‘dosn’t think correctly’ part.

    The Historically Religious Dogmatists (the inquisition) not only saw other opinion as wrong but also as ill willed attack on their world view. I am surprised @user184993, but I really think

    it is my last comment. Just sayin’. @user184993 I would love it. Thank you.
