Talk:slew

re definition given for Noun slew: "A large number."

I'm thinking, wouldn't "A large quantity" or amount be more correct? -- OlEnglish 17:52, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

slew rate
I'm not sure how to add this sense, but in electrical engineering, slew is the rate at which a device can output a signal following along with an input signal. It's not time-delay (which would be more like latency) but the steepness of the curve it can sustain; the quality of the result would be some limit on high frequency performance. I'm assuming that the EE meaning was borrowed from some traditional sense of slew, but I don't see anything here that matches. I guess if you were used to using the word slew for turning a craft, a signal falling behind might feel like slewing too slowly? see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slew_rate 76.33.171.135 02:39, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

întâi

Etymology
From archaic and dialectal, from , metathesis of (cf. French 🇨🇬), from , or alternatively from a root , from. Compare 🇨🇬.

.

Adjective

 * 1) first

Usage notes
In articulated constructions, întâi is (as is the case for any Romanian adjective) found either postposited and unarticulated, or preposited and articulated.

The first construction signifies that the item is the first in a numbered, defined series, just like an English postposited : clasa întâi “first grade/first class”; partea întâi “part one”; batalionul întâi “the first battalion”; ziua întâi “day one”. This construction does not allow feminine nouns to take the indefinite feminine, though exceptions are found in dated usage.

The second does not have these connotations: întâia dată “the first time”; întâiul motiv “the first reason”; întâii locuitori “the first inhabitants”.

The less common unarticulated usage does require that feminine nouns take the regular form : un întâi pas “a first step”; o întâie apariție “a first appearance”.

Adverb

 * 1) at first
 * 2) firstly, first of all, first

Usage notes
very often precedes the adverb, especially in informal usage.

Noun

 * 1) leader
 * 2)  people of old
 * 3)  beginning

The thing is, it says 'surface', but actually if you stick a hose deep into the bottom of the start container then I think as long as where you stick the hose is lower than the other end of the hose then the weight of the water on top of where the hose is will push it through right?

 * Example: Wokingham Without. Equinox ◑ 08:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

 * OK. It is used. In that use doesn't seem to me to be a proper noun. Any more than "White" "River" or Junction" in White River Junction. It seems to be a capitalized post-positioned adjective derived in its application from the the phrase "beyond the walls" or "beyond the boundaries" or something similar. Except for its being unusual (outside the UK, anyway), I don't see a reason for it to appear as a capitalized entry. If the conjectural etymolgy seemed correct it might warrant a separate etymology at [[without]].
 * Could it the used alone? "On Sundays after Church, we like to stroll out to the Without?" It is then like the multi-local use of "the City" to indicate the local urban center. It is very hard to cite this, so someone familiar with its use should use their knowledge to find some citations if it is real. DCDuring TALK 13:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion debate
What definition of idiom does this fit in? Or is it just voting? DCDuring TALK 15:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if this is "sum of parts", then we will need another sense under private to cover situations where information/interpretation is known to a select few. I'd think it ought to be kept on the basis of being a synonym for in-joke, which is an entry, and because a person can "laugh at his own private joke", which doesn't fit the usual definitions for joke.  --EncycloPetey 16:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Five senses added to the three previously at private; some rewording. Boy, are we ever behind the curve on basic definitions. DCDuring TALK 00:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's not a joke that's private, so how can it be sum of parts? Mglovesfun (talk) 13:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * But that's exactly what it is.
 * Both joke: and private: have multiple meanings and a hearer or reader finds the meanings of each that are mutually compatible and befit the context, using an associative-type meat computer. In contrast, it would typically be faster for a dumb silicon-type machine to have an enormous look-up table. If you are serving the needs of silicon machines and the meat-machine imitators of silicon, then you should definitely have such entries. If, in contrast, we are oriented toward the needs of meat machines (and silicon-based imitators of meat machines), we ought not to encourage such things. DCDuring TALK 15:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think any of our senses at cover this. "Intended only for the use of an individual, group, or organization." comes closest, but is not accurate enough. BTW I think we now have some redundant sense, like the US medical one, which seems to be covered by this sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I find more than one of the senses adequate for the job, because my portable meat-type computer doesn't require or expect mechanical precision from a dictionary and certainly not from this one.

 * I am not sure whether it counts but I can't normally say in Czech the word-for-word translation "soukromý vtip", although the term has some Google hits. So the phrase "private joke" seems peculiar to English. "peculiar to English" is that sense of "idiomatic" that CFI does not use, but maybe it should. --Dan Polansky 13:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:take exception to

Request for verification
Rfv-sense: To take offense to or at. The main meaning is to object to. Taking offense is a sometime accompaniment, not an inherent part. Because it is an implication of "take exception" that one might "take offense", supporting the RfVed sense requires some cases where one takes offense at something without objecting. If someone could suggest a scenario, I'd be happy to try to hunt down a citation. I realize this may be getting a bit picky, but please humor me. I'm trying to understand how this kind of not-uncommon implication works and how it should effect our definitions.

There's also a question whether this (not an entry elsewhere) is SoP with respect to take exception (which more other dictionaries have). DCDuring TALK 15:36, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Cited, I think. As you say, it's hard to find clear examples; so, I've taken the liberty of also listing some secondary sources (using <ref>), which hopefully help to buttress the case. And it's worth nothing that the creators of take exception and take exception to both considered offense to be key.
 * I definitely think this entry could be merged (redirectfully) into take exception. Incidentally, one source, which I therefore did not include, seems to suggest that for this sense one should rather say "take exception at".

Talk:balen

Request for verification
I have no idea what is meant with the "etymologies 2 and 3". I do not know any connection with dancing (that is bal - bals, not baal imho). A baal is a stack of something, e.g. hay or tobacco. The latter explains the verb. People tried to grow all sorts of weeds during the World Wars to imitate tobacco and had bales of useless stuff. This led to
 * Dutch

 * ik heb er tabak van - I've got more than enough of it
 * ik heb er balen tabak van - I've got it up to here
 * ik heb er de balen van - same meaning

Then it turned into a verb

 * ik baal ervan

etc.

I think there is only one etymology of this though.

This phrase - signed in blood - doesn't yet have a page, and I am wondering whether the citations could be deemed sufficiently idiomatic to justify this as an entry, in face of the SoP policy. __meco 10:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * That doesn't really seem like a question for RFV.

 * Folks have brought that kind of thing to WT:TR for the kind of non-committal response that one gets. It might be easier just to make the entry (for a lemma form) with the best definition you can and, perhaps, a single quotation. This is a wiki, after all. It might be that the non-SoP entry for this is in blood, with redirects from the most common two or three verb form collocations (eg, signing in blood, written in blood).

Request for verification
Shouldn't this be speciesist? SemperBlotto 22:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree that it should be — at least, I'm down with, but not with the ending — but  gets more than enough hits. If we want to call this a "misconstruction", then we could RFD it for not being a common one. —Ruakh TALK 22:46, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Moved to RFD. If it passes there, then we can bring it back here for citations. —Ruakh TALK 00:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletion debate
Was listed at RFV, but it seems pretty clear that it can be cited. The thing is, it seems to be an error; it gets very few b.g.c. hits compared to "speciesist", and of the hits that it does get, some are indisputably errors (since they attribute the term to Peter Singer, so it's clear they must mean "speciesist"). So I think we should delete this as an uncommon misconstruction of "speciesist". (If it passes RFD, then it should be returned to RFV for actual citing.) —Ruakh TALK 00:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. There seem to be a great number of scannos for "speciest" and precious few real uses. It seems likely it would fall below my own personal threshold of the relative frequency and absolute frequency for being deemed either an alternative spelling or a common misspelling. DCDuring TALK 01:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Well, species is over 400 years old and speciesist not even 40. Since “species†” is a common construction, it's natural that the scannos will overwhelm. That says nothing about this word except that it is rare.

 * Since it's new and its use limited, perhaps it's too early to confidently classify this as a misspelling or alternate spelling. In either case, it's our job to document the language, and since I've added Citations:speciest, our guidelines don't really warrant deletion. —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 14:51 z

 * Though it's worth noting that the 2009 cite is wrong. —Ruakh TALK 15:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * You mean that the source misquotes Singer, whether by mistake or as someone's preferred form? I agree that makes the citation valuable. —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 15:45 z

 * Heh, you know that you're not agreeing with me. Is putting words in my mouth your way of honoring the 2009 garbage cite? (Yes, garbage cite. Even if we accepted mentions, which we don't, we certainly wouldn't accept mentions that we knew to be erroneous.) —Ruakh TALK 17:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * That wasn't my meaning at all. I didn't think it was a garbage cite, I thought it was real usage, but clearly not the best writing. Okay, not a great cite at all. —Michael Z. 2010-03-23 03:28 z

 * We have been making no provision for any special treatment of misspellings of newish terms. speciesist: is hardly a neologism, having been around since at least 1970.
 * Although speciest: is already more attestable than the Shakespearean one-offs we often so cherish, it is uncommon both absolutely and relatively, providing ample support for an empirically based characterization as uncommon. As Ruakh points out it is a misconstruction. It does not follow normal morphology of adding productive -ist: to a noun. It is a macaronic that risks confusion by adding the superlative form suffix to a latinate stem. It does not even rhyme with racist: after which it is partly modeled.
 * If we can't bring ourselves to delete an uncommon misconstruction, at least pending its becoming common, I don't know how we can justify having at all. Everything would then seem to be  or possibly  with some less-than-intelligible-to-normal-people characterization (even such as "misconstruction"). Doesn't anyone think that we have some obligation to try to communicate to normal humans instead of to each other and to some academic audience whose approval we seem to crave? DCDuring TALK 15:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you pronounce it? I suspect it's pronounced the same as in which case it's a pure misspelling, and a rare one. Since we only keep common misspellings (well, de jure:) we should delete it. The Category:English misspellings seems to contain a lot of rare misspellings which I'd rather see deleted than kept, but nominating them all individually could take months, and I can't be bothered. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * That's broken logic. Did your speculation about the pronunciation get magically confirmed before you flatly stated that the entry should be deleted? —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 15:58 z

 * @Mglovesfun: I don't know how you decided that. As I said in the RFV discussion, I find the pronunciation completely unobjectionable. It's only the -est ending, which doesn't have this sense in any other word SFAIK, that I find wrong. (Speaking only for myself, of course.) —Ruakh TALK 17:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * We don't have to make a provision. We just have to follow our guidelines. We are not prescriptionist.

 * Speciest (\SPEE-she-ist\?) has been around almost as long as speciesist, 1978 vs 1975, as far back as I can cite. It can pass RFV and meets our CFI. You can get a sense that it is not just a typo with a more focussed search. If you can find a general style guide which prescribes it, then that would be worth adding to the entry. —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 15:45 z

 * *boggles* Have you read our guidelines? —Ruakh TALK 17:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, it is cited. How to display it is a much harder issue. This is an issue that actually needs sorting out, at the moment and  depend on individual editor's discretion even though we're supposedly a descriptive dictionary. An approach I liked (it was the solution to a recent RFV/D which Connel nominated, I can't seem to find it) was to say "alternative spelling of" on the definition line, and then use a usage note such as "Authors may wish to use the more common X instead." We could go on, in this case, to add, that "this would be a more standard formation from species + est". Unless we can find cites of "authorities" proscribing the use of the word, it's a bit rich to call it a mispelling (maybe references not cites, I'd accept a self-published internet site's opinion as evidence). Conrad.Irwin 15:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps this is an alternate spelling of specieist. Does someone care to count the occurrences of each? —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 16:18 z

 * It is extremely tedious to get a good count of "speciest" from edited works. The first 10 from Scholar yields 1 typo; 4 mis-scans: 2 daggers (to mark footnotes) scanned as "t", 2 "species EST" mis-scanned; and five invisible articles (all following the same pattern of occurring in an article title or a citation in way like the dagger mis-scans). Books has a similar pattern, but has some authentic instances of "speciest". News has 416 of "speciesist", ~35 of "specieist", and ~30 of "speciest". Just looking at fiction (which has no confounded daggers), the count is 98 (83%), 6 (5%), and 14 (12%). The best support for including "speciest" is Groups, where about 25% of occurrences of the group are of "speciest" vs. about 10% "specieist" and 65% "speciesist". The pattern of increasing frequency among the less edited works is typical of entries we have called misspelling. DCDuring TALK 17:39, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you for taking the trouble. I found I could eliminate a lot of outliers by limiting the search to 1970–present. Also helped eliminate false positives by ANDing the term with other likely neighbours, like Singer, racist, sexist, rights, etc, to at least get a sense of proportion if not capturing every instance.

 * We could interpret that pattern as professionals following the original usage more closely, or amateurs being more likely to interpret specie as the singular of species. I suspect specieist is considered an error by most pros, but I wouldn't label it an error based on form alone, as there are other species words with various roots: speciate, speciation, specific, and the prefixes specie- and specio- in speciegraphical, speciographic, speciography, speciologic, speciology (the suffixes and derivatives are mentioned in the OED).
 * In light of this, I'd call speciest a (mis)spelling of specieist, and the latter an alternative form of speciesist. —Michael Z. 2010-03-24 20:10 z
