Feb 1	comment	What is the infinitive of “can”? Upvote for "to can" as in "We must get ready to can the beans."
Nov 4	comment	Is there the gerund of the verb “can”? I really like the word "disfluent." Excellent answer!
Nov 2	comment	Word/phrase to mean something that just happens once @ghoppe, that sounds a bit like a soap opera.
Oct 31	comment	A saying indicating how some professionals don't apply their skills for themselves @fluffy, your comment should be an answer.
Oct 26	comment	Wishing someone good luck in continuing something without yourself without sounding hypocritical or sarcastic @T.E.D, sorry about that. The 'to' was left over from a previous revision, and my eyes didn't see it until you pointed it out. I agree the exclamation mark could be construed as unprofessional.
Oct 25	comment	Polite synonyms for “a——hole-ish” behavior @Broiyan, my point in listing all of the above was to say that you would have to pick the exact meaning you wished to convey before picking a single synonym.
Oct 25	comment	Is there a word for a person with only one head? +1 for the touch of satire. I love it!
Oct 20	comment	How are “i.e.” and “e.g.” pronounced? @Greg, remember "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur," which translates into "Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound."
Oct 17	comment	What is another word for “boss” for a company with a flatter hierarchy? @T.E.D., you're right. He also didn't like the "Team Leader" moniker, so "Team Lead" is not much different. I would suggest "Team Facilitator."
Oct 14	comment	What is a better way to name “The Wrong Question”? How about "You're solving the wrong problem."
Oct 13	comment	Help me understand the word 'deflect' in this sentence great answer! You are spot-on.
Sep 28	comment	“Username”, “user name” or “user-name” @Mark, I have no problem with using "User ID" or "User's identification code" when referring the the user's identification. I am, however, very big on consistency. If the development teams uses "UserName" as a field name and variable name inside the code, reference these elements in technical documents, there is a better than even chance that this phraseology will leak through to the end user. In that case, I'd prefer to use the same term they used so there won't be a document referring to the same item by two terms.
Sep 27	comment	“Not hindered with any knowledge” @Mike, I agree. I do, however, like the additional formality imposed by the "not".
Sep 26	comment	“Not hindered with any knowledge” I was working on the same answer when you posted! Great minds think alike.
Sep 26	comment	You think you're right but you're actually wrong +1 for the math reference.
Aug 24	comment	Use of “it” before “sufficeth to say” @A.Uysal, the King James Bible was first published in 1611, and language has shifted somewhat since then. The -eth endings gradually shifted to an -s ending (e.g. "goeth" to "goes", "thinketh" to "thinks".) While you are correct about the meaning, I wanted to point out that the usage was common to most (if not all) texts of the era including Shakespeare, and not confined to only religious texts.
Aug 23	comment	More formal way of saying: “Sorry to bug you again about this, but …” I like your sandwich approach (i.e. Nice-comment + not-so-nice-comment.) It is professional, cordial, yet communicates the intended message well.
Aug 21	comment	Whence came the usage of the word “product” in cosmetology (specifically hair care)? +1 for Whence. Good question, though.
Aug 17	comment	Why is “zero” plural? I don't think this is a duplicate. The first question was "Is it plural." This one is "Why is it plural." This question builds on the previous question.
Aug 17	comment	Why is “zero” plural? @Fantabulum, the concept of zero as a number is much more recent than other numbers (some accounts, 9th century AD.) That may where the confusion arises.
