Hi Bilby - Just spotted a question you posed in a comment back in 2009 (!) on my aviation list ("Let's go strap on the ole air'chine and bore holes in the sky!") to wit: "what is a 'rooster tail'?" If it still matters see image here...or, since I've added it to the list: rooster tail.

Bilby is, as usual, a lode of useful information. I once went skiing in Chamonix, where les Guides des Alpes are universally admired, but I failed to understand the sense of their characteristic cries.
They're famed for feats of derring-do
But guides of the Alps are scholars too.
It's knowledge they seek
When they call from a peak
And plaintively ask, "Beaudelaire, he who?"January 11, 2015

Bonsoir Monsieur Bilby,
Where are you, actuellement?
I am back in Paris, being forced to write about such big fat frauds as Charles "Mr Spleen" Baudelaire.
But in two more weeks I shall be free, free as a bird!

Bilby, I wish you a happy new year. I am grateful for the comments you have given me. I have been slow to respond mostly because I could not figure out how to do it. I have been looking for an ongoing thread I could reply to but I have failed to find it, so now I have visited your dashboard. This seems rather roundabout, like exiting the house and ringing the doorbell again before replying, but it is all I can manage for the moment.

which I hate even more - and you may have noticed the meter has gone out of whack here but that's fine because apparently language only has to be meaningful to me regardless of what you think or understand about the world here in my vulnerable limerick space so I'm okay with that - than Seussian ham and green eggs

bilby commented on the word latinx
I could insist that people address me as Magnum Tricycle Superhighway rather than you/Alan/sir/mate/dude/bilby/etc but it would be nonsense. I could even change my name by deed poll to Magnum Tricycle Superhighway and force others to address me this way...it would 'right' in the sense of being legal, but it would still be nonsense.
Language is a social currency. There's no central bank as such, at least not in English, but there is still a standard of value. New coin has to be meaningful, plausible, useful, novel, even aesthetic to possess value. In my opinion this is only novel and fails the rest. That's my opinion. Some people hate irregardless because of the flawed morphology. I hate this because it's bastardry from top to toe. Frown away. I can't respond to 'punch up' as I have no idea what that means.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HAMLET ON YOUR FOCCACCIA?
August 29, 2016
bilby commented on the word latinx
Foccaccia is a singular feminine noun in Italian but simply singular in English. No one expects native English speakers to know or use the Italian plural foccacce. I'll have a foccaccia please, and one for madmouth. Two foccaccias please. It sounds horrible to an Italian speaker btw; I still can't bring myself to say cappuccinos.

I expect now that all actors and actresses will refer to themselves as actx to avoid the confusion, European hegemony, etc. I think they will need a lozenge.
August 28, 2016
bilby commented on the word latinx
Some nouns that reflect actual human (and animal) roles have had historical male-female binaries, most of which are dropping off the perch. Some of the modern pressure comes from attitudes and some from reductionism IMO.
What pray tell is the grammatical gender of building? narwhal? universe? sadness? English has vestigial remnants of a lot of grammatical shite, including case systems, gender and so on. A few oddities serenading dust-motes in the OED does not a comprehensive gendered nominal system make.
August 28, 2016
bilby commented on the word latinx
But at last, a visual rhyme for sphinx.
August 28, 2016
bilby commented on the word latinx
I do not like it. The ridiculous thing is that once words get adopted by
English they are gender neutral as English does not have a gendered
nominal system. That's even before you consider that grammatical gender
is really only a contrivance; to ascribe grammatical masculinity to a
tree or grammatical femininity to a flower is not indicative of any
intrinsic qualities of the respective plants.

It's a bit like a mesh beekeeper's mask, though made of disposable fabric. It's supposed to dissuade a prisoner from spitting at guards by drastically reducing the pssibility that any spit gets through the screen to their target.
I think there might have been a problem with prisoner spitting, partly because with hands cuffed and so on there weren't many ways to lash out at the guards.

Oh of course the contemporary meaning of gay for example has supplanted everything else to do with the word. It did take decades to do it.
But if you say for example that "John beat Kumar for the nomination in a total whitewash" there's a tension between the sports jargon meaning - comprehensive victory - and the politically-charged one. Which wins? Neither if you're writing for unambiguity.

"If the facts are not inconsistent with the existence of a basis for exercising the board's power of suspension or cancellation but there is a real threat to apply an erroneous test or to go outside the scope of the discretion and so abuse the power, more difficulty as to the remedy in prohibition may arise. But the tenor of the writ might perhaps be moulded to meet the situation and the board and its delegate prohibited quousque, eg until they were satisfied lawfully or until they abandoned the unlawful course or criterion: see per Willes J in Mayor of London v Cox (1867) LR 2 HL 239 at 275, 276, and in White v Steele 1862 EngR 796; (1862) 12 CB (NS) 383 at 412 142 ER 1191 at 1202-1203."

I notice the definitions on orientation include things like this:
n. The act of orienting or the state of being oriented.

I'd miss the noun orientation though, as orienting would sound awkward.
