  • Asked on March 18, 2022 in Word choice.

    My husband hasn’t written to me for a year. And every time I say something, he doesn’t respond.

    Why does a person sometimes speak to his wife but only for a year he always does so with a yesd or grunt? Can anyone explain why the even doesn’t make much sense, or how to describe it.

    My husband hasn’t told me in a month, just a hint of disrespect. My daughter is tired of him, and she is tired of him.

    means he hasn’t spoken for a year and hasn’t even nodded or grunted as a form of speech.

    The second version I looked at has done better overall. It is correct. How does the second rereading work? For works a little better than in and the even would usually follow the not immediately.

  • If you really consider “domestic” to imply peaceful

    tranquility, “domestic violence” is an oxymoron and you don’t need any other word. People confound it with “paradox” but it’s really a rhetorical device where markedly opposed or contradictory terms are conjoined for effect.

    B. If you only mean that “domestic” modifies the meaning of “domestic violence”, that’s just called a compound noun and there’s nothing contradictory about it. What is the difference between a class of violence and other offenses?

    C. The disconnect between the name Big Brother and the oppressive reality of the world described in 1984 is textbook irony : the expression of one’s meaning through words normally intending the opposite for rhetorical, literary, or humorous effect.

  • There may be a phrase (e.g., ‘lydd’) that defines that word but fails to keep it true. What is “inept lying by commission”?

    Don’t let fear or anger stop you from loving others. Do you still need to love others? What could be done if I have enough academic clout, you could just as easily do what Rogers, Zeckhauser, Gino, Norton, Schweitzer just did in 2016 at Harvard and UPenn? Take a little-known synonym for lying and simply completely redefine it. Ms Gino even had the cojones to redefine it online while including a link to a dictionary entry that doesn’t include her claimed definition as any sense of the word. If you have enough clout, such a sense can then be picked up by the Harvard Business Review, The Washington Post, and random relationships websites.

    What’s the beauty about lying?

  • Google didn’t confirm that. Is the prostu00e9rate meaning that? In which dialectical senses before “prostrate” are ‘face-down on the ground’ and now, the original English sense of “prostrate” (also known as face-down on the ground) calls back to Latin prostratus which is actually laid forth or out in the manner of a slain enemy or KOed boxer. The other senses (syllables, plurals) of ‘prostrate’ mean ‘leveled’, ‘defeated’, ‘powerless’.

    Is it a crime to say prostrate in a sentence, but if someone is worried at all about it, they’ll blow an eye if I say it.

    If people think he is facing the wrong way in his bed would it be prone? The opposite is supine although that’s relatively less well known.

    None of those are common, but they’re possessives of an understood “place” similar to chemist’s, druggists, florist’s, florist’s, grocer’s modifying an understood “shop” or “store”.
