Hi. Please don't do this with letters in abbrevations. We discussed it before and the consensus here is that it's ugly and unnecessary. Thanks! Equinox 19:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

hardwood

[edit]

Nouns can be used "attributively" to modify other nouns. Wiktionary, like most other dictionaries, do not present such words as adjectives. On the other hand, if a word that is a noun is also used as a comparative, modified by too or very, or has a meaning different from that of the noun, then we treat it as an adjective. We do it this way to avoid the excessive duplication of content involved in having a separate adjective section when the word does not behave much like an adjective.

OTOH, thanks for the additional noun definition of hardwood. DCDuring TALK 14:14, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Why did you remove the context template from the definition line? Now the entry won't get categorized into the American Football category. - TheDaveRoss 18:28, 28 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Related terms" is for etymologically linked words, like "egg" and "eggy", not "egg" and "yolk". Equinox 01:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Do people really bob their knees up and down rhythmically when singing? I’m not sure that’s really a thing, so your last edit is somewhat puzzling. Overlordnat1 (talk) 15:07, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

You see it a lot especially in country singers when they perform. ElvisFan1967 (talk) 15:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
