What is the Tacoma Narrows bridge doing in this picture? Who is the audience? If it is engineers, I would use the terms professionals use. |

Meaning of “Crown” in court In the U.S. we will often use "The People vs." or "The State of Alabama vs." in the same manner. I think this is referred to as metonymy where the thing represents a greater whole. For example, we use "The White House" to mean the Presidency of the U.S. |

“Runtime”, “run time”, and “run-time” +1 to Lynn for using Ngrams in Google for describing the historical usage. I hadn't thought about that! |

“Runtime”, “run time”, and “run-time” I like Neil's explanation of it being a compounded noun, but it does raise the interesting question of when does a word cross over to being an adjective. I remember when I was learning Norwegian that compounded nouns were very common, and runtime has the feel of a Germanic compounding. Maybe this is one of those cases where our linguistic roots are rising up to challenge us again. Thanks! |
