Would appreciate your comment or answer to the question.

Since you deleted it, I can't see it anymore and I don't have a "Meta" Stack Exchange account anyway.

Besides, I don't know the ins and outs of the actual voting process.

It’s surprising how densely Tolkien packed in his hapaxes for even his children’s book.

Is there any group where we can practice speaking english with native speakers for free?

@JasperLoy creamy? It is not recommended to eat enough Nutella at once so that you can tell it is creamy. Spread it thinly, not unlike marmite.

Too much Nutella at once is too rich.

Where now the dinosaurs of yesteryear? Why, why, why do our high school composition teachers ever fail to teach their charges how perilous the writersbane the saurus is?

how do you feel about trump tom?

@JohanLarsson I think this is quite indicative of what @tchrist feels about Trump.

a great wall of text :D

@tchrist are you ok with that?

@JohanLarsson What now?

context still on screen

even if you use a phone

Am I okay with what I said? Yes.

@tchrist I think Larson is asking if we may use your wall o' text as the wall Trump proposed to build. That doesn't matter though since we can just take it due to the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 license Stack Exchange imposes. =P

oh

:)

Truer words were never spoken.

I find it no coincidence that oblivate is an anagram of bloviate.

never heard of bloviate

is it italian?

What type of noun is it when "the" is followed by it or it is in plural form, the occurrence refers to something else.

@Monad I don't understand.

> Etymology 1845, US, Ohio, from blow ‎(“speak idly, boast”) + -i- +‎ -ate, by analogy with deviate.

Whoa, I wonder when the trumpetry appeared!?

The reason one would not know what to make of bloviate is that -iate is Latinate but blow Germanic.

I presume.

Perhaps ventilate but that already means something.

blo could be latin

@tchrist If you check the quotations it appeared on August 1st 2015, and was incorporated into the Wiktionary entry the very next day according to its history page.

However, Wiktionary's oneboxing needs fixing since it's a quotation and not a listed sense of the word.

@tchrist I am writing a specification for a programming language (bear with me because I doubt this word use is exclusive to computing terminology) and if you say the Object, Objects, Object bob, the Objects, current Object or whatever, you are referring to a specific noun, but if you say the Object class, (just) Object, derived from Object, this extends Object, this derives from Object, you are referring to another noun.

Is there a category of nouns that are only expressible like the former examples?
