Should “earlierly” be avoided? "earlier" is a synonym of "previously": thefreedictionary.com/earlier (scroll down to the thesaurus section) |

The camera adds ten pounds? @InglishTeeture I believe that parenthetical aside is unrelated to the topic of 'photogenic'. Wikipedia sometimes does that, unfortunately. |

Origin of the phrase “fire away”? That last bit seems to be what I'm looking for. Anyone have more information on the use of 'away' to mean 'onward in time'? How would that have been used in a sentence? |

Origin of “bite your tongue” as a response Yeah, it's the latter part I'm wondering about; whether it's (as you postulate) simply meaning "punish yourself" or whether it's related to the former sense of the phrase |

“Visuals” are to “to show” as “sounds” are to what verb? Also: "I want to tell you something" if you're talking about conveying information via speech |

What is the meaning of “empty of joy”? "Of" is not here being used to denote posession; the joy does not own the empty the way Susan owns a dog in "That dog of Susan's" (it would have to be "empty of joy's", and would make no sense. |

What's the logical opposite to “onboarding”? Ah, I asked this on behalf of a coworker and it turns out he was convinced it wasn't due to Word's spellcheck recognizing "onboarding" but not "offboarding". Good to know spellcheck is, as usual, incorrect :) |
