  • What is the verb for “to make heroic” in the title? Why do some people say ‘heroicised’?

    What do you mean by “to make heroic.”.? From the pages of Wordnik ” heroic

    ( adj ) •
    Having or displaying the character or attributes of a hero; daring; intrepid; determined •
    Of or pertaining to heroes; suitable to the character of a hero; bold, daring, noble, or commanding •
    Showing extreme courage; especially of actions bravely undertaken in desperation as a last resort

    That expression could mean, to cause or impel someone to act in a more heroic manner, although I think it usually means to regard or deem as a hero.

    As for the latter interpretation, as some users have said, you could use the word heroize, but, depending on your context, there might be better ways to say it – such as “He was heralded as a hero. “. In a moment where your current self may be a hero or villain, you’ve got an eye to heroize and maybe himorize is your best option. When talking about an athlete, for example, instead of saying:

    She was heroized in the championship tournament; he wins!

    The championship was his defining moment.

    As far as the former interpretation, that I wouldn’t call that heroization ; that sounds more like some kind of crisis

    training.

    What do subzero temperatures mean for weather forecast in the U.S. and how is it predicted? It’s a convenient way for the weatherman to say, “It’s going to be dangerously cold!” In

    a similar way, on a warm day, you might hear a forecaster saying things like, “with lows in the teens” or “with highs in the upper 20s”. As

    a researcher at a scientific conference, if I heard a researcher say, “The ion-doped material performed better in subzero temperatures,” I’d probably assume she was talking about temperatures below zerou00b0C, given that scientists often use Celsius temperature scales, and because that’s such a key benchmark temperature on the

    Celsius scale.
