What is your new favourite English language movie and
why should you be watching it? What has your friend recently said if you are the famile from a stranger doing this? Your typical techie can quote large sections of this film from memory, and knowledge of it is pretty much assumed. You may stumble across
any other references you may come across including, but are not limited to
- Tim the Enchanter
- The Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch
- Air-speed velocity of swallows.
- If an answer is wrong then you get throw in-the-pit in the end, or worse, in your grave or thrown in the bathe. “Red…no blue”? “Runaway!!
- “Totis

Polymorph is a word software folks created from the some handy Greek-ish roots poly (meaning “many”) and morph (meaning “change”). Of the base type (also known as class ) see the example above. The idea is to indicate that the base type (aka. class ) in question can be easily changed in many different ways (generally via a derived class of some kind). It is typically used only as adjective: modifies a noun or adverb (modifying a verb like is).
Why is the English grammar so bad? In conversation, sometimes we can transform a noun to a verb and add an “is” if we’ve somehow transformed the subject of the sentence into the subject of that other verb. If a program was to transform an array into a raster you could say I rasterized the array.
However, it’s awkward to do this first with an adverb rather than a noun. I already have an adverb in this dictionary too. I’m sure its done from time to time, but not everywherely. If I paint something blue, you wouldn’t likely hear someone say that I colorized that thing. And so sometimes I don’t.
Now you can try to transform a noun into a verb just by adding a simple -ed on the end of your noun or just as a verb ( polymorphed ). Regardless of how accurate you would say something about the subject, you had altered the subject itself. I didn’t understand why.
I don’t think you can get around the somewhat wordy “made it polymorphic” part.
