- How much should I trust Wiktionary? - English Language Learners Stack . . .
Wiktionary theoretically has the same vulnerabilities as Wikipedia These include people engaging in internet vandalism, people editing a wiki to push an agenda, people who are editing Wiktionary in good faith but who are biased, and lack of editorial oversight
- Can the word genocide be used as a verb? If it cant, what are the . . .
Here, on Wiktionary, it says we can use "genocide" as a transitive verb to mean "To commit genocide (against); to eliminate (a group of people) completely " In other dictionaries though, I couldn't find any descriptions that define "genocide" as a verb
- What is the difference in meaning between the baptizand baptisand . . .
9 You link to Wiktionary, which doesn't support your " (or has been)" with examples All of the examples are clear that the baptisand is in the process of being baptised, or at least it's imminent Once they've been baptised, "baptised" is a more appropriate term You might compare "graduand" (wiktionary again) - one who is about to graduate
- Difference between gangway and aisle in an auditorium
0 From Wiktionary: Gangway: a passageway through which to enter or leave, such as one between seating areas in an auditorium, or between two buildings Aisle: a clear path through rows of seating Is the key difference here that a gangway leads to an exit door, while an aisle can just lead from one wall to the other in an auditorium or movie
- word usage - Difference between until and up till - English . . .
Interesting Wiktionary says that particular spelling is specific to Indian English In other regional versions (British and North American), the spelling is just up till Although til can be used as an alternate spelling of until, many people would consider it (at least stylistically) a mistake, with the more common spellings being till or 'til
- Suitable verb for gently stroking someones butt
Wiktionary also offers several senses for caress, including “To touch or kiss lovingly; to fondle [eg] She loves being caressed by her boyfriend” and “To show and act on deep closeness shared with another person” I think caress in the latter sense probably is the best word here
- Different words with the same meaning
In order to know how to use the words I suggest you look them up in Wiktionary, which gives all the information you need in order to decide if the word is the right one for your context
- Is compromisation actually used, or is there a better word?
Keep in mind that Wiktionary is not created by lexicographers, so when you come across a word there that you can't find in other dictionaries, you should look at the "Citations" page and the "History" page to get a better understanding of how the word got into Wiktionary When I look over the edit history for the entry, it doesn't seem like compromisation is a good word to use
