A privative, named from Latin privare, "to deprive", is a particle that negates or inverts the value of the stem of the word. In Indo-European languages many privatives are prefixes; but they can also be suffixes, or more independent elements.
In English there are three primary privative prefixes, all cognate from PIE:
These all stem from a PIE syllabic nasal privative *n̥-, the zero ablaut grade of the negation *ne, i.e. "n" used as a vowel, as in some English pronunciations of "button". This is the source of the 'n' in 'an-' privative prefixed nouns deriving from the Greek, which had both. For this reason, it appears as an- before vowel, e.g. anorexia, anesthesia.
The same prefix appears in Sanskrit, also as a-, an-. In in Slavic languages the privative is nie- and u-, e.g. nieboga, ubogi. In North Germanic languages, the -n- has disappeared and Old Norse has ú- (e.g. ú-dáins-akr), Danish and Norwegian have u-, whereas Swedish uses o, and Icelandic uses the etymologically related ó.
Less (sometimes stylized as LESS) is a dynamic style sheet language that can be compiled into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and run on the client side or server side. Designed by Alexis Sellier, Less is influenced by Sass and has influenced the newer "SCSS" syntax of Sass, which adapted its CSS-like block formatting syntax. Less is open source. Its first version was written in Ruby; however, in the later versions, use of Ruby has been deprecated and replaced by JavaScript. The indented syntax of Less is a nested metalanguage, as valid CSS is valid Less code with the same semantics. Less provides the following mechanisms: variables, nesting, mixins, operators and functions; the main difference between Less and other CSS precompilers being that Less allows real-time compilation via less.js by the browser.
Less allows variables to be defined. Variables in Less are defined with an at sign (@). Variable assignment is done with a colon (:).
During translation, the values of the variables are inserted into the output CSS document.
One Year
After 4 months of talkin'
Without knowing how we'd kiss
I was holding on with everything
I changed my clothes three times before I left
Because I'd never been to Brooklyn
Except once in '91
And for some strange reason
I knew this wouldn't be the last
late night drive from Boston
You have my heart
And nothin' is gonna get in our way
So I pulled over
You stood up
And you wouldn't stop talkin'
So I put my finger on your mouth
And you took me to the park and we laid in the grass
touchin' toes
watchin' the kids play
red light, green light
red light, green light
You have my heart
r And nothin' is gonna get in our way
So after one year
So much has changed
All I thought I needed
Has been erased
Cause you have filled a space
That I never knew I had
Yeah, you make me feel
like the only show in town
You have my heart
And nothin' will get in our way
I said nothin' is gonna get in our way
