滑る？

this site says 滑れる

rather, that it used to be

but that kana only has been the standard for quite a while

I see.

Man, I wish I could read those articles.

I get so intimidated.

Also do きれいなの? And きれいなのに use the same の？

I talked to @snailboat about this once, but I forgot.

Oh sure, but I thought you had said the の in のに was the nominalizing one, while the other one is the question one? @snailboat

Well shucks.

So how did なのに come to mean despite (that's what it means, right?)?

@snailboat

@Anthony のに can be a bit evil

lol

Okay, but in the common case of despite, why does it mean that?

Hmm... if forced to guess, I'd say it relates to に being a directional particle... "pointed in that direction" ~ "up against that idea"

But that is a totally uneducated guess

Ah.

I suspect snailplane is rummaging through a pile of academic papers for an authoritative answer.

I think she had an answer though, I remember talking to her about it!
