I think the starts with e or something. thought it was enigmatic or eglism or something but it's not.
The word isn't pessimistic
The word is more like a religion/belief than opinion
> The VII Nikolay Bakeyev Conference titled “Macromolecular nanoobjects and polymer nanocomposites”, an event attended by both Russian and foreign participants, will take place from 7 to 12 October 2018 in the Moscow region.
Can I use "Nikolay Bakeyev" in this manner, before "Conference"?
My original text in Russian says simply "Бакеевская" (Bakeyevskaya) which most likely means that the Conference was created either by him or to honor his achievements.
Is there really such a term as plenary paper - a paper presented at a conference.. hm.. "at length". Meaning that this paper (research) has a wide scope and thus needs more time (say, 30 min) to be described, against the "usual" paper

"I want you to be 'empowered' with all the subtleties and nuances of the English language. "
I find the usage of 'empowered' a bit incorrect, please provide a correct substitute for this word in the above sentence.
@RegDwigнt Along with the arguably more obvious category of a language’s syntax, many also include a language’s morphology under the category of grammar, particularly when it’s inflectional morphology (such as person, number, case, tense). So morphosyntactic alignment probably counts, but beyond that, most proffered categories range from disputed to ludicrous. Few without linguistic training ever include categories that aren’t nuts—like penmanship, punctuation, et cetera ad dementiam.
In my worldview, nothing you can’t hear should be considered a matter of grammar. If syntax is about fitting words and phrases together, morphology is about fitting together not lexemes but morphemes. So both fit language units together, the one using units smaller than a word and the other using units that are at least a whole word or longer.
> Researchers found that, on average, Trump got about 60 percent of the vote in counties with the greatest use of prescription opioids—drugs such as Vicodin and OxyContin. That was in contrast to counties with relatively low opioid prescription rates; there, Trump garnered just under 39 percent of the vote, on average.

@Mitch No, I saw the definition with an example in M-W. But sometimes they put things in dictionaries that few people really recognize as registerable. So I wanted to check.
Imagine a person laying down on the floor, dead. A moment later he/she breaths again. Is there any other word to describe this scene other than "revived" or " resurrected" or "raised from death"?
which means that phrase was probably made up. It sounds really weird to me. I can understand if there would be some semantic drif/metaphorical usage/hyperbaton that would account for it, but it sounds very off to me.
"grooving your golf swing" seems to have been the made up title for a golf book a while ago, and somehow people took that to actually mean something. If that's how word meanings start then aggcorns are not mistakes.
