The married man with an affinity con·text: noun 1. the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context. "The married man" as opposed to "the man" implies that the rest of the sentence refers to marriage. |

Does “yar” (or “yarr” or “yargh”) in Pirate English imply an affirmative? @StoneyB, good catch. I've sent Cassidy an email about that. |

'pick' as an alternative for 'pick up' (transport) It makes sense, though. Picking apples from a tree and picking people from a station. The direction doesn't matter unless they've fallen and can't walk. |

Is there a word for a non-geek? It wasn't clear whether my edit would go through, so I'll just comment here that it's his/hers/its. |

Difference between “election fraud”, “electoral fraud” and “voter fraud” Yet it would have to be statistically significant before it can sway the outcome, something that didn't even happen in the 2000 Florida vote. In any case, the obvious difference to me is that "voter fraud" refers to voters, whereas "election fraud" refers to the election, which is set up by the government. |
