What is the term for accusing a person of mischief through invented, twisting and changeable terminology? Causistry simply means using examples or "cases" to support an argument. The examples do not have to be terminology, nor are they necessarily invented or confusing. |

Who is ‘Sarah Palin impersonator’? Readers of The Politico can safely be assumed to be very familiar with events at CPAC, if you get my drift. |

What is the word for the emotion I feel when I see someone being humiliated? I do not believe that all people have the same emotion in this situation. |

Why is “math” always pluralized in British English and singular in American English? [citation needed] |

Why is “math” always pluralized in British English and singular in American English? Google NGram shows "math" in use from the 1700s, and much more common than "maths" since their earliest records; ngrams.googlelabs.com/… |

When and how should I use multiple exclamation marks? The problem is that repeating the same punctuation only reiterates the same level of enthusiasm. It does not indicate a greater level of enthusiasm any more than "enthusiasm enthusiasm enthusiasm" does. |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? "At the university"? "In the hospital"? That would make sense only if there were exactly one of each in existence. |

Word for “someone who does the same job as me” A counterpart is something that opposes or balances, i.e. "counters", something else. If someone does the same job as you for an opponent then that person would be your counterpart, but not if that person were working on your side. For two people on the same side to be counterparts they would have to somehow oppose each other. It is possible for two people on the same side with the same job to counter each other, if the job was somehow competitive, but this is by no means necessary. |

Why is the “ph” pronounced like a “v” in “Stephen”? Is this the only word like that? @Stephen, just tell them the name is Greek, not English. |

Why is the “ph” pronounced like a “v” in “Stephen”? Is this the only word like that? It doesn't include a "ph", but Siobhan is pronounced "sha-VON". |
