"Horrific picture shows pile of dead bodies found in migrants' boat | Metro News"
Is there a single word in English to refer to a "pile of dead bodies" .
For example 'Serviceables' (I know it's not a noun). I want to use this as a title then list below all of the actions that relate ie. proper staffing; product knowledge, policy & procedures etc.
Looking for an adjective for defining the activities that enhance or require high motor skills (neurosurgery, jewelry-making).
I expected it to be related to the word craftsmanship, but according to the sources that I used, the word "crafty", that is the only cognate in the form of an adjective...

I'm wondering if there is a word that satisfies: A(n) ________ combination of numbers is any combination that involves taking a sum or difference.
I am making a collage for pics of an industrial visit and want to write a word or two which means a valuable experience or an amazing learning experience
How would you express the fact that a study, report, or investigation provides new information, not included in existing reports? I'm looking for a verb; one that would fit the following sentences.

user Black and White make a big mistake when he/she tagged my question as a duplicate of one about foreign words. mine applies only to english words that have multiple pronunciations i.e. status, privicy, pedophile, etc.
privacy not privicy
so why is my question about english words being tagged as a duplicate of a question regarding foreign words from other languages, i.e. a french word being pronounced in English like foyer, when I actually am referring to english words in english speaking coutnries like status in Canada vs. South Africa and how the US or Uk influence the way they are pronounced.
i'm logging out of chat, but Black and White it's not a duplicate because it's not foreign words from othe rlanguages I'm dealnig with.
I really hope someone here can help me! I´m looking for an expression, preferably a single word, that describes a person who is desperate for approval/affirmation/love, and who therefore feels compelled to respond positively to every indication of (romantic) interest from other people regardless ...
Hi, I'm translating a technical report from german to english. There is a section called "Weiteres". "Weiteres" translates to more or others. In german such sections often contain different information that tie some loose ends from the sections before, give some additional information or make some remarks etc. How would you name it in english? More doesn't sound right...
@MetaEd what about other considerations? Like piña coladas? Are you into champagne?
It's gotta be one or the other. DOnt mix the grape and the grain
@TheCat-alyst you mentioned foreign in your question, that's possibly why it was marked as a duplicate. Maybe you should remove that if you don't want to confuse the issue.
@MetaEd Sorry to be on-topic but don't you think that was a little brusque, deleting the 'master's answer'? You're not wrong, it's just... so old and highly voted (not that those are actual reasons to keep). Is this a way of encouraging an actual authoritative answer?
Also I don't know of any french colonists that sound remotely like Champagne.
@Felix.C There are many ways that this could come out. 'Notes' might be a discussion of some minor points but is more likely to be the collection of what would otherwise be footnotes. 'Appendix' or 'Addendum' is an extra section that is not central. 'Remarks' would be a reasonable chapter title at the end that would fit free-form multiple non-central discussion.
@MetaEd Also, re 'masters', if you delete that one then you'd have to delete almost the entire corpus of Josh's answers. Letter of the law doing so would also not be wrong but would be disruptive.
@Mitch Samuel de Champlain, Père de la Nouvelle-France.
@Mitch We're talking spirit of the law here, actually. SE staff have been very clear that reputation is critical to SE working as it should and unearned reputation is a problem.
@Mitch I haven't done a comprehensive review of either user's output, but I just did a pseudo-random spot check of a few Josh answers and didn't see a problem.
@MetaEd Sure, he's never claimed any of the cut and paste as his own. But the point is that almost all his answers are almost all cut and paste, with minimal intro. Little value add.
Plagiarism is plagiarism, but I didn't think that was the issue at the moment. I thought it was cut and paste answers.
@MetaEd Not worried particularly, but can't find that chatroom on the EL&U list or literature's (I'm not a member there), or META's. So am interested, and would like to avoid similar in future.
> I don't feel that this answer merits deletion. The reason why the quotation is not marked as clearly as it should be is obvious: nested quotations. Although it is slightly ambiguous this way, the poster does mention that what follows is from the article. The answer can be fixed through a quick edit, not by deleting the entire (useful) answer.
@Cerberus I get that the answer is helpful. But it's a perfect example of what SE doesn't want on their property, even if the quoting is fixed. It's someone else's article posted here without permission. Except the one sentence at the top, which isn't even an answer.
I've left your flag raised and asked other mods to weigh in.
I'm looking for a word or phrase that describes the effect of when someone is over-hyped, and when they don't meet expectations, they're criticised much harsher than they would have been if they weren't over-hyped. I hope this makes sense
Suppose the article was not posted at SE, but was published in an academic journal. You could make the same argument, but maybe in that situation it's easier to see who this is helping.
But I have to head home. Let's see what other mods have to say.

Is there a verb that describes the act of being healthy (exercising, eating well, etc.)? Preferably a single word
