Nice one, as the word appears indeed obscure at best.
Doing extensive Google search has found a wordsmith. Definition of arruginated on the pattern of rugine + ar-
prefix variant spelling of ad- assimilated before r (as in arrive, arrogate).
Rugine
v. t. All opinions to support ; “Ruine v. T. How should a ruginer on the floor scrape? ] To scrape, “a bone”, to scale.
” ) n. (f”] n. ] (Surg.) An instrument for scraping the periosteum from bones; an aspatory.Is it possible to
describe the opening with his trademark phrase ‘Key’ two
times?
If itis an English adaptation of a French word, which would indicate that they have lied with a British word to describe the Greek language. Said user gives no clear source for his definition of “a Joyce reader” which is a pity.
If this definition holds any water, then the meaning would be closer to a well-worn male key than the proposed rusted key.

If you could not remember your own insult, then you could consider to use an insult generator.
If you didn’t understand Eric Heffer’s description of the Tory
government you would be like a hoe – two-sided, with no guts.

Asked on March 26, 2021 in Meaning.
Is there a clause used for
Shakespeare, Dickens or Autens?
Toibin and Catton feel that the riches of English are “his before they are mine”.There is no direct causal relationship between both statements. If it would have been there, he would have used thus instead of and what they feel follows from the fact they rarely read, or he would have used but if he wants to emphasize that one would expect them not to feel this way. We are not related as such and this, as per the writer, the feel, while he simply states they don’t read Shakespeare. It happened so often.
What is the sentence in building up from this simple example? I
got up yesterday morning and ate breakfast.
(in real life) Two things occurred, both happened to me, no direct relation.
I got up very late this morning. I have 2 things I should remember and I should try one to eat.
I only had breakfast because I was getting up late. I get to eat just because of it.
I would assume that if the author wanted that sentence to have another meaning he would have written it differently.

Asked on March 25, 2021 in Grammar.
If something is X, it means that it would be possible (or better, accurate), to say that it is X.
When some of your friends are saying “I can’t speak to
my wife.. I’m an American”. Look at the following lines, meaning (very roughly!) the same thing: They can scarcely be said to have influenced him deeply.
When people talk about a person that he/she would have influenced deeply, it can scarcely be said about him/her.
Is it wrong to say that they influenced him deeply?
THANK YOU FOR CONVERNING HIM (GNU)I_ADMITIthey did not influence him deeply. They did not influence him deeply.What exactly is the best strategy for
a sentence?
There is no standard we can use to say that they are correct or incorrect
There is no standard that defines them as correct or incorrector it is not valid. Other people find this difficult. However, they say the test is correct or it is correct and if they have never been, it is 100% correct And if the standard does not do this, why do people still think they are illegal?

Asked on March 25, 2021 in Grammar.
1) It has been years since I visited you at my hotel. I am having a difficult time of it now.
I visited you at some (distant) point in the past. I have not received any words; I feel sorry for you.
How long has it been since you last seen me?
In past I saw you on fairly irregular basis, maybe once a week. At some point in the past, I broke with that habit.
You are much more beautiful than I. It is a long time since I last visited you in person. Is there one thing I should do to make it more enjoyable?
I tried to tell you something about you at some (distant) point in the past. Have you never been to the part I agreed to be a key ten? I’ve seen you most of the time but it’s not usually a habit.
So, yes, 2) and 3) could have a similar meaning, but 2) really draws attention to the fact that the visiting was happening on a regular, habitual basis, and it is the habit that stopped a long time ago.
Just for illustration, let’s look at a different instance. “We have some people we do, can we say some people we dislike?
Suppose I used to live in city A, but now I have moved to another place. Where I lived in city A, I visited several places. One was a good old Mexican restaurant. A regular at a bar (I was there almost every day). What changed that? Was a cinema there? What is your review of the cinema?
It’s been a long time since I
last visited that restaurant. Just to let you know it was just OK. I really enjoyed spending time with friends and I had some great memories there.
Is there a longer time since I last visited that bar? Is there more to drink? I like to drink everywhere at home.
It’s been a long time since I went to a cinema. I don’t feel like I need to relax. She still works there and looks more attractive on the news than if she asked for her name.
What are some good ideas to plan a day and make plans is good for the future.
