A: What is the correct past-participle inflection of the verb ‘weightlifting’ – and why?

Weightlifting is most often a noun, and nouns don't have past participles. The corresponding verb is usually expressed not by a single word, but by the phrase "to lift weights". I haven't found an entries in a traditional dictionary for a verb weightlift, although you can see it, marked "rare", i...

> Although incorporation does not occur regularly, English uses it sometimes: breastfeed, and direct object incorporation, as in babysit. Etymologically, such verbs in English are usually back-formations: the verbs breastfeed and babysit are formed from the adjective breast-fed and the noun babysitter respectively. Incorporation and plain compounding may be fuzzy categories: consider backstabbing, name-calling, axe murder.

A: Is it appropriate to use the native spelling of my country's name ("Brasil") when speaking or writing in English?

Using "Brasil" (with an 's') when speaking or writing in English involves important considerations about language conventions, effective communication, and cultural identity.

@CowperKettle Spanish acronym of last week: DANA Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos.

Gota fría

La gota fría, también llamada DANA —sigla de «depresión aislada en niveles altos»— o dana,[1] es un fenómeno meteorológico en forma de masa de aire que se desprende por completo de una corriente muy fría y que desciende sobre otra de aire caliente produciendo grandes perturbaciones atmosféricas acompañadas de precipitaciones muy intensas.[2] Las gotas frías pueden permanecer casi estacionarias durante días o, en ocasiones, pueden moverse hacia el oeste en dirección opuesta al flujo predominante en el aire (es decir, en retroceso). El término popular se utiliza para describir el fenómeno...

@Conrado I wonder what they mean by "tools" there. My impression is that people today are drawn not so much to Kernighan and Pike's "small cooperating tools with standardized inputs and outputs" as they are to monstrous monoliths that are all things to all people and whose main path to flexibility resides in their ability to accept purpose-written plugins. But these are still not very interoperable.

Robusto

> Blue blood is an English idiom recorded since 1811 in the Annual Register[17] and in 1834[18] for noble birth or descent; it is also known as a translation of the Spanish phrase sangre azul, which described the Spanish royal family and high nobility who claimed to be of Visigothic descent,[19] in contrast to the Moors.[20]
The idiom originates from ancient and medieval societies of Europe and distinguishes an upper class (whose superficial veins appeared blue through their untanned skin) from a working class of the time.

Royal blue

Royal blue is a deep and vivid shade of blue. It is said to have been created by a consortium of mills in Rode, Somerset, which won a competition to make a robe for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. In winning the prize, a business in the village invented the dye and received a certificate to sell it under that name. == Brightness == The Oxford English Dictionary defines "royal blue" as "a deep vivid blue", while the Cambridge English Dictionary defined it as "a strong, bright blue colour", and the Collins English Dictionary defines it as "a deep blue colour". US dictionaries give it...

Tyrian purple

Tyrian purple (Ancient Greek: πορφύρα porphúra; Latin: purpura), also known as royal purple, imperial purple, or imperial dye, is a reddish-purple natural dye. The name Tyrian refers to Tyre, Lebanon, once Phoenicia. It is secreted by several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae, rock snails originally known by the name Murex (Bolinus brandaris, Hexaplex trunculus and Stramonita haemastoma). In ancient times, extracting this dye involved tens of thousands of snails and substantial labour, and as a result, the dye was highly valued. The colored compound is 6,6'-dibromoindigo....

There is no royal red, though.

Some of those murices look pretty red to me, though.

I really do not wish to be forced to take up the battle against puerile ignorance today. Truly I do not.

They're so precious.

I also have this great helicopter story, watching them put the statue on top of the U.S. Capitol Building (the one Trump desecrated).

I think it was 1994, but I had my son with me and we didn't know it was happening until we showed up there. The statue was hooked up to a Sikorsky Skycrane, and it was a gusty, unsettled day. The pilot was a pro, though, and he whisked the statue on a line once around the Capitol and settled exactly at the top, where he held it absolutely steady while the workers settled the statue and bolted it down. Then he circled once again and sped off to where Skycranes go when they're done showing off.

Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane

The Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane is an American twin-engine heavy-lift helicopter. It is the civilian version of the United States Army's CH-54 Tarhe.
