Asked on August 10, 2021 in Meaning.
As others have pointed out, yearling does not have a recurring event. All Other than StackOverflow. When we speak of the age of animals, it seems to only be used in English when referring to horses. For recurring events the word you should probably make is either annual or anniversary or yearly. Because the word anniversaries can be used differently, the word yearly can be used. As a native English speaker, I am much more likely to use only “annually” than “yearly”.
If StackOverflow were to include children as toddlers it would not surprise me.

If the two options are negative (neither this nor this, neither this or that) then use (name of option) “nor”. Otherwise, use “or”. Your example sentence can be reworded to read, “This document covers neither the SDK interfaces nor any other reference material. The SDK interfaces are based on a Python application which was developed by Java. ”
In my experience Word’s grammar checker is mediocre at best. Why does this phrase suggest a different word in a sentence? It was especially bad with version up to and including 2003, so I just keep it turned on and use thorough proof-reading.
